Hello everyone! For the past couple months, I've been working pretty hard on getting a community-based website up and running - MWOLN.com

The MWO League Network is an online, desktop and mobile friendly competitive league statistic centralizer. That means, matches from any league are featured both on the Match Calender, as well as on the front page with other news.

Some unique modules to the site include stuff like the, "New Player League Guide" (an introduction to the various competitive leagues in MWO), and a game-wide league standings table that will soon have more divisions, and more statistics to accompany it.

MWOLN is also looking to be a shoutcast hub for competitive play, shoutcasting a solid two matches per week with great production value and intelligent people behind the caster's seat.

Keep in mind that I have a, 'to-do' list of things for the site, and your suggestion might be one of them. However, that doesn't mean I'll implement it as well without your help! I'm looking for constructive criticism, advice, suggestions, etc to help make this a community hub for competitive play.

The site requires evolution and growth, and usefulness to the every day player who participates or spectates league action. Over the past few months this crowd has grown, and now is a great time to take advantage of the growth and turn it into momentum for sustainability.

Thanks for everyone who replies and is genuine, I look forward to your suggestions

The format/theme for the site needs to be reworked entirely after this "beta" run of the idea. As long as it keeps growing and people keep visiting, I'll have a reason to make it more aesthetically pleasing

What are you using CMS wise?

I'm using an in-browser page-builder (webs.com) with pre-set themes that I can't edit the borders of. There are more customizable themes available that I can customize myself through coding, but I don't have the time/money to do it, since I donated to the MajorLeagueMechWarrior.com tournament. This was the best theme I could make with what I knew of it, but now that I understand more I think I'll be able to make a better one soon.

Days I am not looking forward to. But if I have the chance to do it, I won't have a choice because I may not have another. Hopefully soon, though
