Nowhere it's a project on hold
heck am not surprised if this project is delayed until HL3

So hows it going.

If I do a video review in grumpy /v/ style but don't force any memes, would it still be welcome on 0 Credits?

@killamongaro
If you or anyone else are interested in doing reviews for the site you can send us a sample of your writing (preferably an example of a review you could do) by e-mailing us a copy at editor@0credits.com

& thanks for showing interest! I have no doubt we'll be getting a lot of reviews submitted.

>we should give em out to the community in raffles/steamgifts instead of using them ourselves

I like this idea a lot, & given the chance we'll definitely do some contests/raffles etc etc.

>I dont see how ad money or review copies (or beta keys or whatnot) = sellouts

I don't either, but I can definitely see how some people might see it that way.
If we email a publisher/developer and they're happy to provide a review copy without any strings attached I have no problem with it (They just need to know ahead of time that this doesn't mean we're not going to slam the crap out of their game in the review we do).
Irregardless I definitely want to keep the financials behind the site as transparent as possible (for credibility reasons).

Is there any place I should be sending reviews for "try outs" or what ever you want to call it? I know there isn't an actual site yet, but just some where to get the ball rolling.

I dont see how ad money or review copies (or beta keys or whatnot) = sellouts, aslong as we dont get anything over that, we should be golden. And say if say, we do a positive review of Magicka and they give us some keys in return, we should give em out to the community in raffles/steamgifts instead of using them ourselves.

I'm also interested in the sudden influx of users, which I can only guess is from users posting on /v/. To which all I can say is thank you for believing in this project, and I truly hope that the gaming community will be better for it.

Additional note:

I will be outlining a user agreement for the website soon which will lay down a few ground rules. (Basically, running the website as a non-profit, ad-free, open community licensed under creative commons, as well as guaranteeing that we won't accept any form of compensation for reviews -- whether it be currency, free review copies of games, etc etc.)

The agreement will be open to discussion before it's set in stone of course, and is more to provide confidence in the quality of the reviews we'll be doing.

Hello good sirs,

I'm glad to see there's still interest in this project. I haven't been able to contact Grueru (The guy that was originally behind this as far as I can tell) for about a week now, and since i'm not a group admin I also can't make announcements to ask questions about what people would like to see on the site and as well provide updates on how the site is coming along.

The current website is www.0credits.com , it's pretty unfinished content wise at this point, and to be honest I will probably end up revamping the theme if I don't get a chance to talk to Grueru soon.

The rating system on it right now is completely temporary, I would like to have individual ratings that editors can give a game in addition to their editorial, and then users can vote on how agreeable a review is, as well as pull additional ratings for a reviewed game from metacritic (One idea would be to take the ratings for games while exluding reviews which gave a game a 0 or perfect 10).

Hello.

Same here. I hope we get this rolling soon.

Well I came from the recent thread and I would like to see some progress as well.

sweet glad to hear theres progress being made

Haven't heard much from Grueru over the past few days, I would like to get the ball rolling soon however as everythings up and running so all we need is get some input from the community, to talk to some of the writers, and I need to do a bit of custom coding for some non-essential sections. (Livestream/twitch.tv etc /v/idya related channel listing and a few other things - speaking of which if you have any suggestions of features you'd like to see on the site feel free to contact me).

This project has been revived, as you'll see in the next few days :)

I'm not sure how much information i'm allowed to give out but we have hosting and a domain setup.

So your only problem is hosting? I may be able to offer you a solution. I have a site that's currently been getting ♥♥♥♥-all in traffic and contributors. I'm sure I can give 0 Credits a home of its own.

Come on. This is a once in a chance opportunity - /v/ has no other main, central / figurative news site dedicated to video game analysis and you're going to tell me that simply not finding a host is going to stop you. That's pathetic. You've got a sea of video game writers who literally just need a pad of paper.

This is the one site that could sustain itself from the dedicated user base, and you've come so far. Don't give the ♥♥♥♥ up for christ sake. Please to ♥♥♥♥ see this and carry on.

Yeah I'm pretty sure. The site is done so now we need money for a host. Oujia said that he could pay for it but I haven't talked to him since. Problem is everything costs money and most here have studen loans up their ass including me so money is scarce.

Beef are u sure of this? it looks like the Admin has just given up. Personally i have a lot of interesting work that i would like to share and i had hope 0 credits would be the perfect opportunity to be able to do that. It would be sad if this project dies out as it really does have potential.

No, still looking for a host.

So... is it dead?

Any updates on progress?

So how about them Knicks?

4 guys with different views review the same game, but no scores please

We should make a new group, and name it "0 Credits" now that we have an official name.

minor advice, maybe we should stay away from reviews or opinions, and stick to factual news.

I'm reasonably interested. I'd love to contribute in some way. Or at least prevent the whole deal from going to ♥♥♥♥.

I'd love to be a contributor of some sort

mite b cool

Just found out about this, wonderful idea. I'd like to help in any way I can.
