A year to date since I came back to run PGD. How do you all think I'm doing so far?

I plan on doing more, don't worry. I've been very busy with work lately so I've been a bit quieter than usual. I have managed to add a few new things to the community as well as bring back much of what made this place so great in the first place. I'm usually better at lists so here we are...

Stuff I brought back:

  • Front page News posting with comments
  • Regularly posted news post about whats going on out there
  • Community written Tutorials
  • Community competitions
  • Closer ties with the makers of Delphi (sort of)
  • RSS Feeds so you can keep up-to-date on all things P, G and D!


New things I've added:

  • Nice new site layout (bug-free)
  • Social network announcements (hear about us on YouTube, Twitter & Facebook)
  • PGD community based Blogging
  • New mini competitions via PGD Challenge
  • Video Tutorials section
  • Interviews section (just started)
  • AJAX-based chat system (testing)
  • Our German and Russian counter-parts have never been closer to us than now with their included participation
  • Students are getting excited and posting here on PGD now thanks to Dr. Norman Morrison and my own personal interests in getting young people interested in learning Pascal again.
  • Other new affiliates which we only recently started pursuing better ties with this last year.


Well those are my lists. I hope that you all have been appreciating all the hard work I've been putting into getting PGD back up on it's feet like before. I know that between the long lull and all the site changes it's been difficult to keep tied to PGD like before for some, but like I said last year when I cam back, we are only moving forward and so far I think it's been a very productive year.

Despite all of the ups and downs of the Delphi tools we;ve been here for a long time and we will continue to be here until the last man stops using any kind of Pascal language to make games.

Feedback, as always, warmly welcomed. (Even the bad stuff. )
