WSGF: A New Era

WSGF.org has been remade from the ground up in its first major framework update since 2011. This came with bug fixes and new features, all while preserving the original users and content as old as 2006, at the same URLs. For the first time in years, we are opening the door to new contributors without pre-approval. However, we've been ad-free for a while, and we need your support to cover the costs of running the server.

Tutorials on Adding a Game to the WSGF Database

Did you know that all of our content here is community generated and user editable? While it's true most of the content has been generated by a core group of folks, anyone who is a registered member (with a few posts under your belt) can add or edit. We'd really like to see more content generated by a larger audience, and we're doing what we can do help make that happen.

We've overhauled our games database form, making it easier to follow and use. I've also just put together this video series showing how to do a complete entry. The four-parts series runs a total of 45 minutes, though it doesn't take near as long to actually add a game to the database. I spent a lot of time going over how to gather information and prep, and also providing context and background for our grading.

Check out the YouTube playlist embedded below, and add/update games in your library to the WSGF. Gamers everywhere will thank you.

WSGF Android App

With pride I can officially present the WSGF News android application. The application is free to download from the android market place. The app is currently in a beta phase, so if you notice any bugs or issues, please report them on this thread, also any feedback or requests should go there as well.

You will need Android 2.1.x (Exlair) or higher to run this app.
