We officially announce the replacement of our old website with an advanced forum!
We upgraded our old forum to a more modern platform with a more modern look. On top of that, many new features have been added.
We invite everyone to take a look and browse the content of the website.
Improvements include:- More modern design
- Better support for Mobile devices
- All pages have been redesigned and reviewed
- Link to "Report players" ( this was previously only visible on the "Rules" page )
- Link to "Report abuse" ( this was previously only visible on the "Rules" page )
- A chat box
- A monthly Poll ( current one will remain untill the end of October )
- Improved search ( mostly usefull for our admins and recruiting officers )
- Better discord integration
- Users can bookmarks topics
- More automation ( mostly usefull for admins )
- Improved security
- Many changes to the back-end which makes managing the content easier
All old shortcuts like http://report.amgclan.eu , http://abuse.amgclan.eu , http://donate.amgclan.eu etc... will now bring you to the new pages.
You might ask why does a gaming community still need a website in 2024 now that platforms like Discord exist?- The website allows us to have a complete backup archive of all reported and banned players, including the evidence of the ban reason. Forums allow for more permanent and archivable content, whereas Discord messages can be deleted or lost if a server is removed.
- Running a forum provides freedom from the control and policies of large platforms like Discord. With a self-hosted forum, we fully control our data, unlike Discord, where data is hosted on their servers, subject to their terms of service.
- Improved search capabilities. Discord search is often completely broken or simply doesn't show everything it needs to show.
- Forum content can be indexed by search engines, making it easier for anyone to find AMG
- Back-ups. If Discord ever gets discontinued. Everything is gone. With our independent website we can guarantee that the AMG community-members can always stay in touch when Discord is offline or discontinued.
