Scipio Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 A while ago I asked on this forum for a good place to find PBEM opponents, but unfortunatly my question was left unanswered. So I thought it's time to create such a place, and here it is: WargamerScout! WargamerScout is an (as I hope) easy to use online database, where wargamers can post or take up challenges. For those of you who don't like ladders and leagues: WargamerScout is NOT a ladder. And for those of you who love playing exclusivly on a ladder: I really don't see a problem, just mention it when you post your challenge. WargamerScout is not an exclusiv CMSF database, indeed it can (in theory) support all wargames that allow H2H-matches. For now, all CM titles and the old Campaign Series games are supported. The site has also a basic forum for general issues and as a place to meet (thanks for the idea, David ). Beside that, there are no bells and whistles so far, but I really want to get this thing started now :cool: . I hope you find this site usefull. Let the games begin! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Good idea Scipio! I am awaiting my confirmation e-mail to take a look around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Abbott, if you shouldn't have received the confirmation email yet, than it's likely that you have entered a wrong email address or more likely the email has been caught somewhere by an antispam measure. You should check the spam folder on your PC or at your email provider, if this ain't help let me know! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am betting it's caught up in my ISP's spam filter, it will show up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slug88 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Sivodsi, it took a little while, but I finally recieved your message.

Slug, I have to excuse for the delay, this was a children desease; that's also why there was no message added from Sivodsi. I found and solved the problem! Folks, I'm very pleased that you like my site! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl Steiner Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Just registered and posted a challenge (CM:SF - any battle). I have not yet had the opportunity of playing CM:SF head-to-head so I am hoping some kind soul will show me the ropes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 MMM the site seems to be down ATM (It did display correctly about 1 hour ago), actually your DNS is pretty shot up: C:\Documents and Settings\Maarten>tracert wargamerscout.net "Unable to resolve target system name wargamerscout.net." Good luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Yes, it doesn't work cause you left the www out the url! Try tracert www.wargamerscout.net works pretty fine! : [ June 08, 2008, 12:35 PM: Message edited by: Scipio ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Scipio, that wasn't the case, but it was up again some time later. (my profession lies in hosting business so im quite sure ) Anyway, great initiative 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Scipio, that wasn't the case. Anyway I tried it some time later and it did work again. (my profession lies in hosting business so i'm quite sure it was completely down ) It looked like your zonefile did dissapear in the nameservers. Anyway, great site! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 A small *bump* for those who have missed this topic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug88 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Another bump (this really should be stickied, actually). Also, Scipio, I think it would be nice if closed challenges remained visible when searching for battles, just to give a sense of how msny people are using the site. At the moment, with only one open challenge visible, the CMSF section looks utterly dead (which I strongly hope is not the case). Furthermore, a link to the challenge listings from the corresponding Supported Games pages would enhance navigability.

Yes, I agree. A sense of history is important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Scipio - I registered but have not received email. Eamil address is correct and my spamguard folder is empty on my server. It appears nothing has been sent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Frenchy, in some cases your email provider can use a 'grey list' antispam measure that asks in simple words for perfectly configured mail servers on both sides and/or uses a kind of 'black list/white list'. Unfortunatly there's not much that I could do in this case, I can only suggest to create an email account at a free email provider such as Gmail which is not known to cause any problems so far. Anyway, I have switched your account manually to 'confirmed', so you can now log in - but a working email-account is still a must! Of course, in some cases the email is simply lost...I guess I should add a simple check to proof if members can receive emails from the site *make a note on my to-do list* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
