Tagged for deletion by 66.191.124.236, with the edit summary "nominate AFD -- non-notable gamers website". Completing nomination.
- Delete:My vote: the article is for a site that appears not to meet the proposed requirements of WP:WEB. Alexa rank is 636,047; Google shows just 21 incoming links; forums have only 4703 registered users in total, including inactive users and those who have never posted even once. According to the article, this site is not even listed in Epic Megagames' community links section, let alone referenced in mass media. Delete accordingly. — Haeleth Talk 16:56, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Haeleth's research. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:01, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Hello, I disagree. While you may think the scope of this website is limited, it is very well known in some circles of the gaming community for how bad it is when someone makes a post there (those that attended lan party like quakecon). Even though it does not meet the criteria of 5000 registered users per WP:WEB, it is at 4,700 which is only 300 less than the stated amount. And as such, it would have 5000 registered users, but it is notorious for anyone out side of the "old school" ut99 community to register and post there, as it is the pit of the internet gaming (which is WHY it isn't posted on unrealtournemnt.com, because it has the notorious reputation of having a large group of flamers who show no respect to Epic Games). As Beyond Unreal[1] is the home of all fans of the unreal engine and its universe, prounreal is the home of competitive unreal. CombatCarl, Dawgpound, lotus, cursive, and many other professional videogame players make regular posts there (or formally did before the decline of unreal tournament and it's subsequent lacking communities). As for its alex rank, unreal tournament has long been out of favor with videogame players, as they have flocked to more realistic titles (even quake 4 has bombed after its intitial success with only 700 players online, at peak times), it was previously much more popular. user:Ghrog
