All of us gamers know the routine:
- "What's your MSN?"
- "Add me on Steam."
- "Follow me through Xfire"
Nothing will ever beat the good 'ol fashioned way of simply asking the person for their information. HOWEVER, we can make it easier on each other by providing this information up front. That's why we've created a LOT of topics over the last few years listing xfire username, MSN usernames, etc.
So why don't we make this easier?
I am going to begin adding custom profile fields to the forums (and thus, website). This means that you can go into your User Control Panel and edit your profile to fill in all of this information. It's all voluntary. So if you don't want people to know your information (or change your mind later) ... simply don't fill it out or remove it. But if you want anyone to be able to add you on MSN or Xfire (or you want to quickly share the info with your friend), now you just have to say "look at my profile on the forums" and they'll find it all. Easy peasy.
Eventually I will make a display page where you can get complete lists and such that make it easier to find friends and their information a lot easier. But for now, this should help tremendously.
One thing you will notice is that SOME fields such as the "Teamspeak Unique ID" are PRIVATE due to security concerns. This means that ONLY you and Administrators will be able to see it. In the future, voluntary information such as this will give you special features that we plan to add to the website. So please fill out your profiles as accurately and completely as possible.
If you have any custom profile field suggestions or problems, please report them in this thread. All old threads that contain contact information will soon be archived.
Enjoy!
