  • Nologam eSports (AKA, NGM eSports)

    Over the past couple of years, I have started to get more and more interested in eSports and while I haven’t spoken much about it, I have watched streams and followed a couple of websites about eSports (CS:GO primarily)

    Last June, we had started a small CS:GO team that was just affiliated with us, they won a couple of games and quietly disbanded and nothing more was said.

    While they were playing their couple of games, we were getting a site ready for team news and that, but obviously it was not finished.

    So, now, we are going to go back to the drawing board and make Nologam eSports a thing, but not in the same capacity.

    We are going to have eSports news for League and probably CS initially but expanding later on.

    This is just a rough idea that I am putting down on the table and hopefully I can follow through with this plan coming into the summer of 2016 🙂

     

  • Music Bot for Nologam

    So, a couple of nights ago, I introduced a new bot into my TeamSpeak known as the ‘Nologam Music Bot’

    It sits in the channel and plays music…whether it is from a radio stream, a YouTube link or uploaded file, it can do it.

    At the moment, it is playing a old radio station from Belfast known as Energy 106 which I grew up with and still love the music that they air today!

    What type of music do you like? Send me some YouTube, Spotify links via Twitter: @PadraigFahy

  • Trying to think outside the box

    I am toying with the idea to put a landing page to invite more users to Nologam. As I have said before, it has been really difficult to come up with ideas that would work in this situation.

    Bounce rates are at like 40% which is not good (Should be under 30% if possible) and I feel that more people would be discouraged from the website if they have to do multiple clicks/taps on their computers/phones to access the main part of the site which is the forums.

    What is the best way to approach this?

    Please let me know via Twitter @PadraigFahy as I am very interested in how to increase A) Hits to the site and B) (and more importantly) User Retention!

    This is starting to sound like my previous post :/
