Hey everybody.. first post for me here on this forums... this is a presentation.. i wrote up for the DX related project of mine.. so read up on it please..

As many of you have probally notice, in the recent days of mine.. i've been very busy.. what i am doing, well now i believe is the good time as any to update you all on it, perhaps opening up the source of light to shine on the seemingly forever dimming community of our.

The work i've been hastily working on with the rest of my loyal and dedicated team, a Deus Ex Hub.. as explained many time by me.. "Made By The People, For The People". I decide to the update this to everyone without at all the rest of my team's consent, i apoligize for that but i do have good reason to push this ahead of things. So i like to quickly pause the introduction to the project and give you the brief history, as so updating you on how we are here about..

As you know all know, DX overall is falling further and further down the hole day by days, sure there has been attempts to control the problems (example: former (http://www.deusexleague.com) DeusExLeague, (http://www.dxmp.com) DXMP.com,(http://homepage.mac.com/photobloke/) Photoblokey's DXMP Place and current (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~dea/index.shtml) DEA's DXMP Center among the many places..). Most of these attempts as evident have shown, failed for whatever reason.. i believe that one of the primary reason it fail to stay in service operation was because of public and team support, it simply perhaps fail because there was inefficient enough team effort to back it up with.

I have sat down numerous time in front of some DXMP ongoing game and though to myself, you got patient.. you got guts and you got some leadership and needs to contribute to this downhill going place.. what can you do to help.. so after thinking about it a lot more, i've decide to form some sort of team. A team that would be interested in this community, that would work its best out for the place, but most of all its for the love of the clean fun game that i know had once existed. So since then, through nights of researching around and gathering files.. i hand assemble a group, whom which i of course approach with the idea of mine, presenting it as best as i can to them and to the many of them, their answers was yes. I since have coordinated this team into their responsibile cut out of work, ranging from collecting clans info, player detailed profile to reviewing maps, mods, etc... I can honestly say that i, myself have work my a$$ off for this project, as well as the rest of my team.. i can assure you.

Well that was the background look into our currently ongoing project, soon to be open for the public eyes (a somewhat of a beta, we are shooting for..) Now, i'll go on to introduce about the project overall.. as i have openly hinted its whereabout in the beginning of this long thread.

The Project: DX Hub.. Best of our abilities to push out a always up to date, user-friendly, content rich center that would be a benefit towards any DX1, DX2 game player, nevermind whatever version they happen to be fragging upon.

This project is of course at the moment in work, soon to be release into public's eyes..:)

Another thing is that we are in need of a few more members to help out, we prefer dedicated, work-experienced (as in project or mod, some sort of.. teamwork oriented enviroment before) members, ..other then that you still need to be "interested" enough to be able to handle the work load that we perhaps will load you for, as it will prove to be vital to the success. So after all this, you still feel you can handle it.. alright try our luck and [[email=da_terminator84@hotmail.com]EMAIL ME.[/email]

DX Hub Goals, list wise.. for organizational sake..:D

- Covering the DX series of games, every current and future to be release version of it.

- Providing a center where all of the DX series gamers can gather for up to date information.

- A hangout place for the community, with help on the readiness and user-friendly informative info on everything, as to assist the everyday surfers from being overwhelmed in our rich database of content.

That was pretty much the three goals at the moment, i have read through a lot of other sites presentation examples.. and found that a FAQ (Frequent Ask Questions) are a good idea, so i have though up and compile one for the confuse and "utterly tired after reading this" readers.. ;)

FAQ: ~ ~ ~ ~

- Who are the people that is sopposively working with you, as a team ..all this time?

At this time, our team consist of [in no chronological order]: me, Photoblokey, [3]Illuminati-IIS, Eagle, Face, former [W] Weirdoo and Weirdette, [DK]Atomic-Punk, [TCN]ScoobyDoo (AKA Laura/Ice/Tiger/Silver.. etc)

- You talk a lot.. but where is the money.. show us the money!

As said before, the final link and resting place of this project is withheld at the time of posting, by me.. a desicion because of maintaine reason, i will update you all when the time comes.. as said before.

- How far are the progress of the project, are you guys close to revealing to cans of bolt yet?..sometime this year i hope!

Well, we are currently working as much as we can on it.. we love to have some assitance, however as state before.. NOT just anyone can join our work, i do hope for some real truthfulness and dedication before even contacting me for the info.. Anyhoo, once again.. if your crazily like to throw your cents into the bolt with us (work with us on this project) and you think you can handle some of the enduring test of work feat that we got cut out.. [email=da_terminator84@hotmail.com]CONTACT ME![/email]

..Getting back to our real progress meter, i would say we are around 40/50%, i however expect this rate of work to increase at a more dramatic rate soon, as i understand its this time when work start flowing in... adranaline gets pump and everyone gets a bit "hungry"..:)

- Early in the thread, you said there will be plenty of help support from your team toward the community, how exactly do you plan on giving the community "help support"

Beside the little expertise that our team members brough with them from past experience, they are lending it toward troubleshooting DX related issues. We have also a plan to raise money for the DXMP servers, of course will be relying on the surfing traffics. And lastly i like to comment that in cooperation with Illuminati-IIS, we are offering completely free hosting with many script supports for the people in the community, those whom we truly feel needs it for their proper intentions.

This is among the few ways, there are a few others which i am not ready yet to present toward the public.

- Many of "attempts to control the problem" have failed, as you have said in the past, Da_Terminator.. what makes you think you and your team can teamwork your way to not only providing a central source of info for Deus Ex.. but for DX2, as well as every console ports of it as well?

Simple, its "Got The Guts, Have The Glory".. I have thought of the ludacris project plan of mine before introducing it to the would be members, they have fornutely trusted in my instinct and experience, as they have willingly since then to work with me on this project. Our success at the moment is imminent, we do not have in the least sense any thought of giving away our possibly only chance to redeem this community we've grown to love.

- In conclusion to this questionaire, tell us public people when can we expect another update!

This is the first public announcement given ..in quantity (all of the forums have been inform of this) that is related toward this project, all known before were done in private conversations.. only a selected few have heard about this project.. but never in this great sense of detail anyway. The public should be embrace in eachother arms ;) around a month from now (No Guarantee, but around a month..)

That concludes the update, i expect comments and opinion on this soon to be reality given change to the community, so please.. all comments and opinion.. do post them here for public hearing. Private comments should go to me, through either PM or [email=da_terminator84@hotmail.com]EMAIL[/email].

Thanks for your time in reading and dealing with my perhaps unprofessional presentation.
