 Posted: 16-Feb-2003 02:13 Post subject: What are the 5 top BattleTech sites on the net? |
  |
|
Don't anyone say mine to kiss my butt because it won't work. And I actually don't want to include mine. I'm curious to have everyone's top 5 list. If you'd like to know the reason, here it is. I want to utilize my main page more than I have been. To do this my goal is to take the tops sites out there and post any breaking news they have on my site. Not just stuff related to CBT or new products. But I'd like to announce any contests or new features the site has included. Essentially I want to attempt to make my main page a one-stop shopping plaza for news related to Internet BT sites (at least the top ones). So, let me know your thoughts.

I only visit here, CBT, and HMP...so I guess I'm the wrong guy to ask.

Same as Chihawk, along with LOTB (always looking to see the newest/kewlest paint jobs out there!) And of course my home page always being updated!!

Hmm...the only sites I routinely visit are here, CBT, Archer's Miniatures, Dave Fanjoy's mini site and Iron Wind Metals...also Gamer's Union (who has time for anything else?)...so I guess those last five might count?

The sites I bother to visit are here and CBT. Sarna seems dead to me and Solaris 7 has never been appealing. But I guess if you need 5 . . .
CBT
Mordel's B&G
Sarna.net
Solaris 7
Heavymetal Pro

I'd say Chaos March and Solaris 7, if only for resource purposes - and Solaris 7 is sort of going downhill nowadays.

HMP
Sarna
BattletechUniverse
Longwalker's Site
And then a few others make it into a tie for fifth place. The B&G is counted as well, but since we were asked not to...

well i am a bit biased, but here is what we found:
CBT
LOTB(we almost have 1000 members now)
Sarna
Pats/HPG uplink
HMPro
in just about the same order of rankings.
can't count retailers too much...aside from IWM but then again if you look in the credits for the Minis Rulebook, I am biased on that as well.
