Just curious what plans there are for the future of PS3Heroes, if any?
I only ask because - without meaning to be rude - the site seems to have stalled lately. It came a long way very quickly, and now there's been nothing for quite some time.
There have been no obvious changes or improvements for a while, and not even a blog post since July 2011. I know there was stuff apparently being worked on, such as Trophy Cards and (I think) customisable Twitter backgrounds, and probably other stuff as well, but nothing has materialised as yet.
The forums also seem to have died, with most areas not receiving new posts for anywhere between 3 months and a year. I do still see some Trophy tweets from the site in people's Twitter timelines, but that unfortunately seems to be all people are using the site for.
I know from reading some forum posts that you have a 'real world' job and this site isn't necessarily always your primary focus, but I'm just wondering what we might expect further down the line, or whether the site will simply disappear.

Hey,
thanks for that very valid question. I felt similar the couple of last weeks: the site works, but there isn't happening that much. When I started preparations for PSVHeroes as a duplicate project for the PlayStation Vita, I stumpled over a lot of old code that actually makes it rather difficult to develop new ideas on this site.
That was when I decided to start PSNHeroes.com instead and combine PS3 and PS Vita right from the beginning. That also leaves room for any upcoming PS4...
I set up this project on a complete different framework (Symfony2) that hopefully gives more flexibility over the next months and years to come. Yes, months and years. Because I really want to further develop this project! There are still a lot of cool things that could be done with the data.
When you check the URL, you will be behind a password-block, but I hope to make this available to the public, soon. Not for real usage, but for peeking. There is still a lot to do and the schedule is tight! With the launch of Sonys PlayStation Vita, PSNHeroes will come to life.
It most probably will not have the same functionality, because some just never were used and others might be fall behind due to the schedule. But the basic things will be there. And there will be a more strict handling of all the different languages. A user would need to explicitly change the language of the site to see content from other languages. I guess that was some kind of a hassle for new users, who just saw jibberish from different languages.
So, over the next weekend, you might be able to log in to the new site to look around. And by the end of February, my goal is to redirect everyone from this old PS3Heroes.com to the new PSNHeroes.com. All the data will be available there, of course.
I hope you guys will like what you will see there :)

Ah, I see! That's cool. I look forward to seeing the new site.
