Welcome everyone to GPM 2.0 i hope everyone has made a easy and quick transition from the old system to the new system. I want to first start off by saying that we understand the new site is a bit more complicated and has tones of new things but we are here to help guide you to whatever you need. We do ask if your a modder or skinner to re-post your creations in the respected forums.
BEFORE WE BEGIN REMEMBER YOU NEED TO CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT ON THE SITE YOUR OLD USERNAME AND PASSWORD WILL NOT WORK.
Lets start by a basic walk-through,
So what does this site offer?
When GPM was created it never really was intended to take off as much as it did so the website (GPM 1.0) was never designed to hold a userbase of 16 thousand members and over 4.5 million visits so the site eventually slowed. It also lacked the ability to expand to what we needed and to secure it. This site does all of that and more it acts like facebook and forums were you have full control over your profiles and the site is more secure from spambots. Spambots could not be stopped on GPM 1.0 because it lacked the technology to combat the AI this site does. So here is what we got from the new site.
- Better cleaner interface
- Security
- Faster load times
- Expandable platform
- Facebook/Myspace style feel
Is there anything i could do on GPM 1.0 that i can not do on 2.0?
We decided not to add a shoutbox considering personal profiles and blogs can have comments like a shoutbox past that nearly everything you could do on GPM 1.0 you can do here and much more.
There is a Mod on GPM 1.0 and it is not here why?
Either it slipped through the cracks during the transfer or it was outdated or broken. Feel free to contact content management to resolve any lost mods.
Someone stole my name
If it is a common name like Sam or Scott then its first come first serve but if you had a unique name on GPM 1 and someone takes it you will be given the name granted the IP's from the old site match up.
Who do I report to now if someone is violating the TOS?
Nobody, each forum and most content has a "report" button use that and our security staff will investigate it.
Can I add downloads to the download page?
Most of our content is created by our staff but once you recieve the rank of "senior member" you will be able to submit uploads yourself. If you are a "member" contact content management.
I am lost and can no find anything
Search it our search system is very helpful and if you can not find it through search feel free to post a thread about it in the discussion section pertaining to what your looking for.
Can I stick with the old GPM 1.0 interface?
No, GPM 2.0 is a completely new system we did not build ontop of the old one.
Requirements
GPM 2.0 is a completely new system based on PHP and MySQL the website is optimized for firefox, google chrome, and internet explorer 7+. We have been told that the apple version of safari has had issues and i am sorry we have no plans to make this site more mac friendly. If you are encountering errors make sure your using the most recent version of these browsers and have your flash player updated to the most recent version. You can do that by clicking here (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/). The website is optimized to fit most screen resolutions but anything under 1024x768 may have some issues. Please make sure you allow cashing and cookies to this site as the old site only used it to remember your password this site uses it for much more.
