Modernization of 3DJuegos starts today and starts with forum: New URL, same functions
Today at 6 PM I will be giving a digital talk on 3DJuegos Discord to answer questions and explain the changes.
We all feel good in our comfort zone, and the truth is, changes always create some anxiety. Will it be better or worse than before implementation? You will see in the coming weeks Many changes in 3DJuegosand it will affect the entire web. You will see some of them aesthetically, but the majority affect the guts of the environment and you won’t necessarily notice them. But they all have a common logic: to be better than us.
What is this intention? Many years have passed since the psychic’s launch in 2005, and although we’ve been adding functions and making some aesthetic changes all these years, the truth is we haven’t touched its ruler or its guts much yet. And times change and needs What Google marks as a successful environment also changes over time, and 16 years without touching a manager is a long time for something as volatile as the Internet. For example, if previously having a solid forum and a large community was a boon for visibility, it has been stigmatizing any media outlet for several years and undermining its credibility. Search engines are no longer interested in user-generated content, they just want what they think authoritative opinions from professionals in the industry.
Essentially in the midst of the democratization of ideas provided by the Internet, search engines bet the opposite line; Google highlights, Bing, Google Discover, Google Go and all news search or indexing tools they punish the media with powerful forums by making them invisible, community and news integrations, or systems like our group and clan mechanics. And 3d games, we have been resisting for five years because since its inception the page was created by equalizing the opinions of users with the opinions of editors, and since 2017 it is a sin for the Internet because it is difficult to know if we have a website. an editorial medium or a forum. Media wants, not forum. Unfortunately, he doesn’t think we can be two things at the same time and therefore punishes us.
that’s why we should move forum to another area, is on a long road that starts today and we will try to find the best path for everyone. Migrating these features (millions and millions of URLs) is complex and some functionality will not be available, such as video game collections or news filtering of your profiles. We’ve managed to keep a lot of it, such as messaging, karma or, above all, your history that will remain intact; but over time, the page and the forum will become two separate sections. This does not mean that you will stop writing in the news, articles and analyzes of the page (and of course you can with your username and password), but regardless of the forum. So our intention is not to lose the link between the forum and the medium, but it will definitely change.
We want to honor and preserve your legacy and so many years of history.We’ve spent several years taking every precaution, as the easiest thing for us would be to unplug the forum directly to come to such an important decision that was not an easy business way out for 3DJuegos. This shows that society is very important to us. If we want to compete with our competitors, we must improve this situation. As if that weren’t enough, video game media is less and less about video games and more about every conceivable topic, and we need a page to compete with them under the premise that only video games are mentioned here. technically as refined as possible and more independent of the forum. I know all too well that assuming a change can be costly and that the easy and popular thing to do is sit idly by. However, we have been taking every precaution for two years to reduce the effects of being labeled as a forum by Google, and the situation needs to take a radical turn as soon as possible. 3DGames is not in any real danger right now, but it will be in the future if we don’t start taking steps like this. We would fall far behind our competitors, and a brand with the structure we have here cannot survive without the support of Google. Other outlets have completely suppressed their forums and it would be much easier than ours to do, but we want to honor and preserve your legacy and the history of so many years of community-created content. And believe me it would have been much easier to hit the delete button without much further explanation, but that’s not what we want and that’s not what you deserve.
In addition to the fact that you can continue to participate in the forum from this link, and we insist, without losing groups, clans or your history, the possibility of hashing or exchanging private messages with other users, of course, you also know that a little over a month and a half ago, 3DJuegos Discord, available here We launched the . We firmly believe there is a more modern place where we can achieve many things, such as direct contact with the community, more events and competitions, digital chat, instant interaction, special actions, direct and many more than the existing 3DJuegos. Vehicles. they don’t allow. I truly believe that the future passes there and is real. The best place for our community to continue to grow and the environment can do that too.
Do you have doubts? Wanna tell me what you think about all this? Feel free to do so via our Discord, where I’ll respond live to all your concerns today at 6 PM (Spain time) and explain in detail where 3DJuegos’ next steps will go.
