The TSA Community In 2012

Adam Garrett 43 Comments

At TSA we’ve always been proud of our community from their mature and thoughtful comments to their enthusiasm for getting together in community events. In the past we’ve had plenty of competitions and tournaments, numerous features and special events making the TSA community one of the best around. 

[drop2]2012 was no different. Competitions were everywhere. New community features were introduced and some older ones were retired. Tournaments were run with more coverage given than ever before. These didn’t just come from the dedicated community team either, TSA contributors ran competitions and community members got involved with sending in community content or running and covering tournaments. A quick search shows that we had 30+ competitions on the website:

And a few big tournaments thanks to very dedicated community members and contributors:

And numerous community features:

After a mostly quiet 2012 our forum has also seen a rise in activity in the latter half of the year with popular discussions such as the Screenshots thread and What Games You playing Right Now? thread.

While 2012 was a brilliant year for TSA community wise we’d like your help to make 2013 even better. Tell us in the comments what your favourite competition, tournament or feature was so that we can come up with even more this year. Tell us what your favourite prize was, or your favourite community submitted content on TSA in the past year (or years before) and hopefully we can make 2013 the best year yet!

  1. I really enjoy the podcasts (Lewis & Kev are particularly witty!). Also enjoy Weview and Tuffcub’s snatch too! The forum has an excellent ‘bargains’ thread. Grabbed some fantastic deals thanks to that. But generally speaking, you all do a fantastic job here. So, well done, carry on, as you were, etc…

    • Also, I’ve never won a competition, so if you could fix that for me…? (Not in a Jimmy Saville kind of way, unless it’s for a Vita)

  2. Love all the comps here on TSA, so keep those coming, and the only other thing is the Forum really needs an upgrade to get all the features back.

  3. Idea for a weekly feature: Meet the spouse of the TSA reader.

    • What about us poor singleton’s, you can meet my right-hand if you like, that’s the nearest i’ve got 2 a spouse ;p

  4. Challenge TSA but possibly link it to PS+ or a demo.

    • That would be a good feature, more suited to demo’s with access for everyone I’d think. Only problem being the shortfall of demo’s released and whether they had some sort of score associated with the demo level(s) included that could be recorded.

    • That was going to be my suggestion too. I used to really enjoy the Challenge TSA events.

      Also its been a while since the last TSA LBP level making comp. Nudge. Nudge.

    • I like this idea, especially if it’s a demo that everyone has access to.

  5. A feature like Mr. Trophy, such as in one of those UK PS3 magazines, where readers suggest what game to platinum by a TSA gamer that is known to platinum.

  6. Very much enjoy the TSA F1 Championships and also like to read the ‘WeView’ articles that spring up from time to time. Maybe I should try to enter more tournaments in the future… just need to actually have the games necessary to enter!

  7. Get the forum updated. We can’t even embed images easily. I can promise you it stifles the fun and creativity of the place.

    • Have to agree, it used to be such a simple affair inserting pictures in the forums but I won’t even attempt it now, don’t have a computer programming degree. On the other hand using video’s is simplistic and user friendly……*boggle eyed*

  8. A cake baking and decorating competition.

    This could be run during the TSA Meet, so everyone can taste the cakes and vote for their favourite.

  9. I would welcome another E3 Bingo this year, that’s a great feature.
