State of the new community site

[Quastor]

Also, I see you can now add your ICQ/AIM/Skype account names to your profile. In the interests of social networking, it might be interesting to put in optional slots for XBLive gamertag and PS3 account name.

I'm not putting my gamertag out for all the world to see. If someone wants to add me as a friend, they can PM me, and I'll determine on a case-by-case basis if they're worthy.

Yes, Apples, you are.

Will post counts and avatars be erased? I know this sounds *** but I just wanna know.

McDeezy, avatars and signatures have been erased, as well as our access to user profile pages is no longer valid (community areas, you could say). Also, you may notice that the "HOME" "MY ACCOUNT" and "FORUMS", as well as other, links are no longer below the RockBand banner at the top of any page on the forums. This is because,

Therefore, we will probably be taking down the current community software either today or tomorrow.

I'm not thrilled about it either (however, that's mainly because I just still haven't gotten RockBand yet to hold me from these here parts), but it still works as a basic forum. So be happy it's still here and not just another 404.

It does not appear that email addresses were migrated with user accounts. So if you like your email notifications for PM's and whatnot, you need to go into your profile and re-add it.

(inside Joke for Apples)

I have noticed that even after entering your email addresses into vB's system (User CP), emails still do not seen to be working or sent. I made sure email notification of PMs was checked on.

Additional Profile fields are a great idea but permissions are keeping us out from viewing other's profiles.

I've been looking for information on this community site for about an hour. I was starting to think that I had dreamed the whole thing up. I can't wait until it goes live, it's really going to expand the entire game.

So can we look forward to things such as the following mentioned online?

A reference from Wikipedia for Rock Band (video game) under Online community.

"On October 25, 2007, Harmonix and MTV announced RockBand.com will be transformed into a community website for Rock Band at launch. The site will allow for leaderboards, customizable band profile pages with stats, a classified area for bands to find additional members, band blogs, online forums, band photo shoots, and other sharing features.[42] Additionally, the website will allow bands to interact with their in-game characters in a variety of ways. Players can pose their avatars, create fake album art for their band, and order T-shirts and bumper stickers based on these creations.[9] Players will also be able to purchase figurines based on their in-game characters.[9]"

Also hoping to see online tourneys such as the GH site is doing...



So far so good here and glad to be a part of all of this!

I miss the community features, but I bet it will all be worth it in the end.

I do want my avatar back, though.

i guess theyre already testing the new site. i tried to reach the forums through the main page and got the new "rockers" page...and nothing but broken links. i had to get back to the forums through a google search since i dont have them bookmarked

Just FYI: the downtime earlier was a totally unrelated issue. We're still working on the getting the new community stuff up ASAP - just letting you know in case you were all excited and antsy!

How about worrying about getting replacement controllers out to your consumers? I could personally care less about the website UNTIL I GET A WORKING CONTROLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear there's cake for everyone just as soon as you launch the new site. Better hurry before they cut it without you.
