Sir_Wesley_of_Wells Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Like one of the Fight Clubbers pointed out, there needs to be a "landing page." As soon as someone comes to this site, the first page they should see is one that has two section tabs to choose from. You can either click to enter the the "Fight Club" section or the "Free Community" section. The Fight Club section can even be on top since those guys pay for it. The Fight Club section would be restricted to those guys only, and the Free Community section would be accessible to both Fight Clubbers and Free members. I'm just a free user, but it really seems like the paying members are getting the shaft. It would also be helpful for the site to automatically prompt you to sign in, so we don't have to click that stupid login tab that takes you to another page. There can be "sign in," "register," and "continue as guest" options. Guests would only be allowed to view topics, not post on them. Most forums have a setup like this so it can't be very difficult to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhil Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 You agree with this, I and other paying members agree with this, even any Moderators I've spoken to agree with this. Problem is that from what I can gather, the only people who wanted this community/FC merge to happen were Sparkart themselves. FC and Community members did not ask for or want it, nor did Zuffa. So I don't expect this suggestion to go anywhere. Sparkart want to jam us all in together and blur the lines between the 2 groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Wesley_of_Wells Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 It really sucks for you guys. You paid for exclusivity among the other Fight Club benefits, and now it has been taken from you for the most part. Sparkart has a lot of work to do if they want this to actually work. If they care, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhil Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 FYI, Sparkart just confirmed over here; http://forums.ufcfightclub.com/discussion/comment/3190884#Comment_3190884 That the "landing page" concept will be implemented. Excellent news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhil Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Has the landing page idea been binned? We've suddenly gone all quiet around here again... %-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Phil it isn't Sparkart that decided to do this it was Zuffa, they wanted to make a better site for all the fans paying and non paying so really they did it for us to make it better for us and other fans. there are still some bugs to be worked out but lets give them a chance to fix it and if you have suggestions maybe it is what they could be working on so share them so they can see them .

Hey Smitty, Whoever made the decision, it was still a bad one,,,,,site has improved, site will get better, mixing the two communities was not the way to make a better site....and Zuffa are not the ones designing the site.....I appreciate all of the efforts of Leonie, the mods and guys like you but still a bad idea to mix the two communities.....if it was a good idea there wouldn't have been the need for the landing page suggestion,,,,,,current layout is a big improvement...
