Milan - Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) www.neorequest.net seems to be slowly dying away infact, i wasn't confident enough to post this in the sub forum called neoreqest right here! because that is dead to so maybe some positive advertisement or something could help those seeking graphics or those who love making graphics to come together and once again push start the website Thank You Edited December 28, 2008 by Milan.M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMann Veteran Posted January 3, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi, I know NeoRequest has slowly come to a halt, (I do still check the NeoRequest forum on most day's). Currently most user's find that the Grafix Exchange in Neobay seems to suffice but obviously we would like to keep NeoRequest running and bring out a new improved version possibly which would be more linked with Neowin. I suspect sometime soon, we may have discussions with Neowin's staff & other members in where Neowin/NeoRequest stands and what may be done about it in the future. Thanks for your post, we haven't forgotten about it just yet. ;) JMann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i'll talk with the staff and see what I can do to help out... I am not promising anything :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMann Veteran Posted January 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think our main issue is that NeoRequest is written in ASP.net, whereas all of Neowin is PHP based - so at that time 'integration' unfortunately seemed impossible. I cannot speak for Chorpeac, but I would like to start thinking about a new/improved easier to use NeoRequest. Also may be get some more people involved, and possibly even change the scripting language? It would depend on Neowin/Staff/Chorpeac if anything is to be done. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted January 4, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2009 This is the first I have heard about it. Is it a secret?? Not really. The project started years ago, and for pushed to be used, with replies of "try neorequest". This was until the forum shift and layout change, that Graphix Exchange was introduced, and phased out neorequest. TBH, the site needs: 1) better integration with neowin 1.1) more links / more promotion 1.2) a forum redirect link 2) more support, via graphic experts 3) easier to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Veteran Posted January 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'd heard of it, but didn't know much about it (I remember liking the layout :D). Was it a paid request site? For example, would you have to pay for your requests? I think what lylesback2 suggested above is the best idea. It would be good to see more integration with Neowin, especially a forum re-direct link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMann Veteran Posted January 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 4, 2009 First off it's no secret, just never heard of. ;) Honestly, I wouldn't want many users on it until it had a complete revamp/easier interface. The kind of thing I was thinking about it like a forum listing, for a nice overview of requests and then it details down as you click one etc. I think it would be best to move it over to PHP, and of course would need some input from the Chorpeac/staff/coders/admins of Neowin. Plus I would be able to do the front-end coding of the system and minor Graphic jobs - but for the overall look I think we would have to ask a decent designer from Neowin for their efforts, to get the best out of NeoRequest. @lylesback2: 1) Integration with Neowin is everything to do with the Staff here at Neowin, out of my hands. 1.1) We can do SEO/Basic Marketing, but Neowin would also need input. 1.2) I think that's an IPB thing, but that would be dependent on the new version? 2) If it's marketed enough, we will attract them. 3) This new version would have to have a complete re-design, I am responsible for the previous designs and wasn't happy with the versions; hence why I would like a completely new designer come in. (If we were to make new NeoRequest progress). I must say, it's extremely nice to know that people are still supporting NeoRequest; so thank you.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted January 4, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks for clearing that up JMann. I guess we'll wait for the redesign to be completed, and bring it up the staff's attention, where we (or they) can discuss how to integrate it, or if it will remain and isolated project.

JMann Veteran Posted January 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 4, 2009 I agree, but I think it would be nice to know where Neowin staff sit on this one. Does NeoRequest still have a future? Or does the Grafix Exchange forum cater for everyone's needs? @Antaris: Thanks for that, we will bare you in mind. :) If NeoRequest was redone, what things would everyone be looking for?

Daniel Tablas Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'd be willing to help with branding & graphics. Neorequest either has to be closely knit with Neowin.net, or have no relation to it at all. The first choice is the logical one obviously. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+chorpeac MVC Posted January 5, 2009 MVC Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hey man, let's roll with this! We can get some major modifications going man. I would definitely like to keep it ASP.NET. We should be able to do all sort of things to more tightly couple it with Neowin. Here is what I think we should look at initially... What functionality would be recommended as enhancements or changes. How could we more tightly couple this with Neowin? I think besides from the Graphix Exchange, the only other PROBLEM we ever heard about was visibility. So we definitely need help with that, besides signature mentions in posts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaris Veteran Posted January 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think an expanded artist portfolio would be good. Including previous work done, this will give clients a better idea of the capabilities of the artist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we definitely need help with that, besides signature mentions in posts. :) Is keeping it asp.net a logical thing if you want it closer to neowin? Surely porting it over to php allows better intergration of both sites? Furthermore, personally, i think it should work something like this: change the design to have it look more like neowin (it is NEOrequests afterall). The seperate design doesnt work IMO. change the neographics forum to a discussion forum about neorequests and place it under the 'site discussion' area of the forum not graphics have better promotion in the graphics part of the forum that 'real' graphics requests should be made there 100% intergration with the site. PMs when requests are replied/answered Use neorequests to do the grafix exchange. Act as a none profit middleman. Keeps its off the forums. Users can then specify if its free or pay service. Whats your opinion on these suggestions? Of course I can go into further depth if I have made any of the ideas unclear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echilon Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The last three requests I've posted have been totally ignored. I did get a decent graphic when the site first launch but it seems thoroughly dead now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
