What happened to your old site?
Cutting a long story short, the site was in production for an incredibly long time as it was built from scratch and we wanted to launch with a phenomenal site that had a plethora of functions and features. The studio we used to make this site ultimately managed to code it in an "old school" way which meant when the site went live it ground to a halt and couldn’t deal with the traffic, after alot of consultations with independent studios it became apparent that it wouldn't really be possible to fix (That's a lie, it would, but it would take many many months and cost a small fortune).
This was unfortunate obviously, but we had to come up with Plan B.
How did you end up with this site?
A good friend of mine who formally worked for Evisua (The guys behind the Fnatic site and others) got in touch and offered to put a site together for us, this was an ideal solution to a massive, 9 month long headache .
Features? Give me a features?!
The site is launching in beta, and because of this features will be added over time. Right now the ability to private message someone has been disabled while it's upgraded. Over time i'd expect to see lots of cool features added to the site, functionality wise this site is sound, but we can do so much more with it :)
Lastly, thanks for the wait, we've been as frustrated as you guys (Trust me!) - Now it's time to settle into our new home and get the ball rolling, we've got a busy 6 months ahead of us!

Well, let's say 48 hours, just in case things go tits up on them!
and how much of a surprise would that be? :)
Congratulations guys, the website has been a long time coming!
I like the website a lot, the design is very clean and its a generally enjoyable website to use.
A little bug is the login button, it seems to have found itself below the topbar.
The profile picture upload seems to be broke :(

The youtube embed also refuses to not be seen when you look through the galleries as well:(
How do you view the news archive?
Thanks for highlighting these problems, Geekpak is luckily on hand to iron out these issues for us :)
You can now upload profile pictures :)
What browser are you using when struggling to view the embeds? News Archie is currently being worked on at the moment, will add it ASAP.
Picture upload doesn´t work for everyone. tihOp told me he gets the message "Success! Picture uploaded" but nothing appears on his profile :P
Haha, using Chrome at the moment!
tihOp is a noob, mine works perfectly :)
Nice site, Great job!
