Just as constructive critique:

1) Where is my article... sniff... ?

2) Links are broken, like the Link to the worlds leads to a Dwarven Deck...

3) I can't click on Deck formats...

other than that, :up: :gp:

Some sections of this website are useless considering that this forum exists. What is the point of a Decklist section when you have tons of decks on this forum or a simple link to decktech.net gives access to hundreds more decks.

Hmm in that case I would put a link on the page linking viewers to Decktech, and include a "forum" section as well. Thanks for the input! :)

Well, there are many problems with the links, but the page looks all around awesome. It is great to have a cool LOTRTCG website besides this.  :gp:

BTW, Buy Now? or JOIN Now?

Still figuring out what links to add or remove. :P Perhaps it's gonna be buy now with a link to a potential partner. But even that needs to be worked out. :D

I like the uncluttered feel of the website, and the neat appearance of the one article that I was able to link to (about the FTOR Sauron swarm). I hope the focus of the site will be on articles such as that one and on building connections. I believe the website will be most valuable that way, since we already have a great site for decklists.

I really appreciate the work you are doing. I look forward to when it gets up and running and filled with interesting articles.

I just wanted to say that it is on a good start! I love the look, feel and layout. With a little time and some work it will be really cool! Keep up the good work and have some gold!  :gp: :gp: :gp:

It is a good start.  Will there be a link to TLHH?  Since, as it has been mentioned, we already have a plethora of deck lists and comments here at TLHH, why not a link?  I know they are two different things, a PC site and a community message board site, but why re-invent the wheel?

Yep I am definitely planning to do that. The decklist page will be linked to Decktech, while the foum and community section will be linked to TLHH.

Hi Ken ... is it possible to advertise the GCCG leagues - FOTR and Towers - that are running on GCCG in the news section. Perhaps links to Valinor?

I am keen to play a league FOTR game again but can't seem to drum up the support (played heaps of non-league games).

Yeah sure. Actually I might have the time to continue of the website today, and hopefully fix everything soon and make the changes you guys wanted as well. I hope this pc can work out! :)

It occurs as a result of too many viewers! Which is a good thing, meaning that more and more people are interested in the site!

What is considered too many viewers? 10? :lol:

Lurtzy, I find the more serious my response post, the more I am having a hard time keeping my sides from splitting. When I am not on my phone, I'll deliver to you the payment of:

Thanks for the smiles!

Edit: Paid up.

If the website is going to be of any use it will have to have a larger bandwidth allocated for its use. I can't imagine the traffic has been that high at this stage.

Yeah I got the bandwidth error last night at home and this morning at work (9 am EST? How many people could be viewing this site?).

I noticed that your "Lord of the Rings" graphic at the top is 466k. It should probably be about 20k. That would help if you're having bandwidth problems.

When you import images into a website-making program and scale them down, it doesn't reduce their file size.

If you don't have the software to reduce it, I can do it for you.

Good luck.

Well it's a bit harder than that. But at least we got people like Ket to give us "motivation" and make us wanna do more!
