Hey everyone, I'll be taking the site offline next week, most likely starting on Sunday, January 18th. We'll be looking at a week of downtime as we rollout various changes to the server configuration, and an updated version of the site. All giveaways will be extended for the length of the downtime, plus 24 hours. For example, if you have a giveaway ending in 2 hours when the site goes offline, the giveaway will have 26 hours remaining when it comes back online, allowing users enough time to recheck the site.

V2 is currently offline for over a week now, when it goes live all existing GAs from V1 will get transferred to V2, so all GAs on V2 will be the same you see now - aka no longer fake GAs.

;c it's unfair. I spent my money and will get nothing in return. now I have no motivation to create more puzzles for certain forum and my friends

how about not taking into account the number of participants in old GA's and only reduce contribution for additional copies of games?

you should have voiced your concerns when cg was collecting ideas for a CV alternative, not when it's too late.

I'm pretty fine about new CV system (except minimum 15 entries). I say that we can do nothing about our previous giveaways with <15 entries. and it would be nice if recalculating previous CV won't consider entries.

One week off sounds like rehab. And if the android app becomes broken after the reboot, i might even.

Comment has been collapsed.

not gonna work anymore, as it was written for previous site. You'll have to wait for someone to wrtite new one for new site.

Mobile app was not written by cg, so it was not official part of SG, hence was not developed as part of SGv2.

I know he worked on the account system to both make the support system more effective and be able in time to add more people who could take on specific tasks. It's probably not something that's gonna happen short-term though.

I know that SteamTrades will be upgraded as well, but what will happen to the existing threads? And more importantly, the existing feedback (rep)?

9 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

not sure about topics - they may get imported - as all SG forum topics will be as well - but I'm not 100% sure. As for feedback - it will get transferred to SGv2 and will be added to your SG profile (because in v2 ST is not standalone site anymore - Trading is implemented as part of main site itself, with special trading section and rep added to your profile, like I mentioned ;p)

I remember cg saying that the "Uncategorized" category of the new SGv2 forums (fora?) was for the old threads, that we might or might not categorize in the future. So that is evidence in favor of "existing threads will be imported".

But I remember many things badly, so take that with a spoonful of salt.

Good to know, thanks.
Is there a detailed list of the upcoming changes/additions in version 2?

there was such a list on SGv2 beta forums, but as beta was closed before migration it's not avaiable atm ;p But I'm pretty sure that the moment the v2 goes live it will be announced as well ;)

Will it have the possible region gifting?

Comment has been collapsed.

There was some discussion about it but AFAIK nothing had been set in stone. One thing for sure, if Valve doesn't change things back tot he way it was something will have to be done here because a lot of people have limited gifting options now.
