    It's time I make a thread for my website! It was planned even before the game was out but I never managed to get around to creating it and here it is now!
    I wanted to make a place for Planetary Annihilation fans where they could see latest videos, download mods and stay up to date with the game without having to visit the forums, youtube or anywhere else.
    The name originally represented a made-up world where everyone had everything they wanted and they lived like gods in a parallel dimension.

    I'm proud to say that the CEO of Uber Bob Berry is my first follower! Bob, you are loved!

    The site has Youtube videos, embedded livestream channels, mods that are downloadable from my own server, latest news about the game, links to other useful sites regarding PA and a place where users can submit mods and replays(once they are save-able of course).

    I added an option to choose which caster they want to make a video out of the replay so I'm hoping that Zaphod and others will direct their people on the submission form. Hopefully we can establish some sort of an inner network and work together when it comes to Youtube at least.
    Maybe if everyone who wants, associates Petardia.com with their channels, they will be able to use direct annotations to the website on their videos. I don't know is it possible with multiple channels but its worth a shot.
    I would also appreciate if modders would submit their own mods after creating a thread here on the forums. I decided to make it mandatory for people to make threads here first before submitting.
    The site isn't official so I can't release mods that came out of nowhere.

    I want to enable a community system as well so people can chat between themselves directly on the site but it is a bit difficult to make it work properly. For now just commenting below posts works.
    The site itself has a very simple blog style layout but when the retail version gets close I assume I will need to change the layout to something a little bit more complex cause I want the front page to have as much useful info as possible without it being a big mess. For now thats only some videos and mods, once 50k people get access to the game, I assume it will get hectic pretty quickly.

    I understand that Uber will have a special place for modders and mods as well but I guess having more than one organized(I hope) place for mods is never bad. :D

    Obviously the site is still very early in development, I'm still figuring out the best way to showcase everything without making a mess and I would appreciate some feedback from people who are interested in visiting the website from time to time.

    If there are some web developers and graphic artists out there willing to assist me, please message me.

    PS. Since there will be Petardia planets in the game, I plan to do something with the people who happen to get those planets, suggestions in regards to that would be appreciated as well.

    Every time I see your name Petard, my mind instantly goes to the British petard mortar fitted to Churhill AVRE tanks.

    It does have a lot of meanings.
    Firecracker, mortar, cannon, ship, joint, a mock name for PETA members etc...
    You're gonna be seeing me around for a long time so get used to that thought in your mind ! :mad:

    Something something follower 6.

    I don't really release replays/livecasts, but I do release youtube videos (as in, supposedly funny videos/weird things.) Can I be added to the youtube section in that role?

    Sure I'll add you in a moment! Would be good to have you guys add a link to the site in your descriptions. I'll message you guys separately, hopefully if all agree we can link all our channels and sites together and be like a big family :D

    So you want me to mention it in every video and to put a link in the description of every video with Planetary Annihilation?
