Message: <blockquote data-quote="KnightBrokenCross" data-source="post: 4117356" data-attributes="member: 62948">Well, Gleemax is a public alpha at the moment, hence why things are very rough around the edges.I can't speak for WotC on any issue, given I'm not an employee, but from my standpoint, as a community member, having a public alpha seemed to be a very good idea to me, especially given I have felt they have been paying attention to what people have told them, and that they are trying to improve.The core idea of Gleemax - the social networking website for gamers with several features (from blogs, to forums, to wikis, etc) appeals to me, and it appeals to me that they have been getting feedback on Gleemax from its inception, that the final users have been invited and encouraged to give their opinions and help shape the final product.Wizards also seems interested in promoting what they consider to be good indie games that they don't make themselves, and Gleemax will be vehicle for that. I personally think this is a good idea, too.Now, it does seem clear to me that many people did not immediately notice that Gleemax is still an alpha and that the website is, at the moment, horrible to use. It may not necessarily have been the best idea to turn WotC staff blogs into Gleemax blogs so early in the process, given the blogs would be harder to gain access to, due to functionality issues.That said, we have tried to alleviate that problem through the <a href="http://www.gleemax.com/Comms/Pages/Communities/BlogPost.aspx?blogpostid=50516&pagemode=2&blogid=29386" target="_blank">Gleemax Compendium</a>, and several users now have an Index of blogs as their sticky. I have linked to a few blogs above, and I do encourage everyone to read through them - or go through the Compendium and read a few of the non-staff blogs. There are some very good reads to be found there.EDIT: Also, you can add staff blogs (or any blogs, for that matter) to your Favourite list, and simply click on those links to find the blogs.</blockquote>
