Hi guys,
I wanted to write this to get some constructive feedback about a website that I've been working on for a little while now, and also see if there's any interest. It officially launched last week.
http://www.scoreground.com The site basically allows anyone to publicly browse the scoreboards and actually view the high score videos for each ranked score. Once registered for a free account, users can submit videos via a quick upload page, which then sends it to the Scoreground youtube account on the back end. After basic data conformity/approval, the score is listed on the site and starts with a legitimacy of 0 and placed on the scoreboard for that System/Game/Variation. Users are given votes to use (1 per vid), and can rate up or down any video. If a video gets enough negative votes, it is flagged for removal.
Kind of a more relaxed version of what Twin Galaxies was (but definitely not trying to replace TG, just offer a service that shares the footage), while focusing on bringing the community together, but really cool that it allows the users and public to view the actual score submissions right from the High Score list.
I'll be hosting contests every month/week too, to get users excited about submitting videos. Currently, any video a new user submits, will enter them for a drawing on March 1st, where 3 - $30 amazon gift cards will be given away.
But eventually we may have tournaments or contests for specific games.
The site accepts any game, and any system. And obviously any world-record worthy submissions will have to follow strict guidelines, but this is for the other 99% of the competitive players that can put up good scores, and have fun with it!
