The founder of this site, EvilDollaR, devoted more than 5 years of his life to his brainchild, investing a huge amount of strength and health. And, I believe that these efforts should not be lost in any way. In memory of Alexander, the project will be maintained as long as I can do it.
Due to my busy schedule, I cannot guarantee readers frequent information updates and regular news. But I will try to do everything in my power to at least keep the site afloat.
I will try to describe the primary tasks that raise questions.
- Many have already noticed the advertisement. Yes, this is a necessary measure. Unfortunately, any Internet project requires investments for its existence. With the help of advertising, it will be possible to cover part of the costs required for the maintenance and, possibly, promotion of the site. Please treat this with due understanding.
- Quite a heavy load due to an excess of plugins and database overload. All this needs to be optimized. I will make the site work much faster. You may have to sacrifice certain functionality, but I can assure you that the information component will not suffer in any way.
- I will create a new, modern design for the site that will give the project individuality. The site can be viewed on any device without any restrictions. At the moment, the usual template is used, which creates a fairly large load due to scripts and queries. Also, with the new design, advertising will be compactly laid out and will not be distracting.
- Most likely, in order to avoid possible natural difficulties, you will have to buy a new domain for the site. Also, I will transfer the entire project to a separate dedicated server, which will greatly improve its performance. These are additional costs, again, please be understanding of the need for advertising.
At this point, I would like to address the fans of the theme of this site. Those of you who have the opportunity to write articles, news, any materials for the site, and also have a desire to do this, let me know and I will easily give everyone author status and you will be able to add materials autonomously. Your help would be very valuable for the project.
PS: There is another option for the development of events. If the majority of readers want to close the project, I will understand and support the idea.
I can't log into the site.
Um...which one? It seems like you wrote this on the website...
The site definitely shouldn’t be closed. Not only because this is the “brainchild” of Alexander, but because it is needed by many and the best resource of its kind in RuNet. Alexander created a great project that I have been visiting as a passive reader for many years. I don’t remember how I got here, but it was an important moment in my life. Then I began to keep abreast of events on my favorite topic.
Add information about the Russian premiere and synopsis of Rocky 7. The main villain is played by the famous boxer Tony Bellew
barsug do as you see fit. We are with you.
I'm starting to not like the direction this site is going. I thought there wouldn’t be a lot of advertising, but I see it started creeping in from all the cracks. And of dubious “quality” too.
And what are the expenses for? The cost of a domain is at most 1000 rubles per year.
If we want to update the filling and design, then this is a one-time expense, although it can be decent if you want to order a unique graph, but maybe it’s easier to chip in for a one-time expense than to litter the site with advertising?
It's immediately obvious that you are an expert. But let me, as a webmaster with more than 10 years of experience, still add my own:
1. In addition to the domain, there is also hosting. And there are also VPS SERVERS. It is necessary for the normal operation of the site. And this, excuse me, is 10 bucks/month (if through connections, you can get 30) + domain. Convert into rubles... If you are ready to pay for it, no question. There will be no advertising.
2. In order to appear in a search engine more often, you need to spend at least a little on SEO, and a little - by my standards, it’s from 10 bucks per month.
3. I said that a new design is being prepared and advertising in it will not be so intrusive. There's nowhere to put it here. It's in 3 places. By the way, it’s worth it, and not “out of all the cracks.”
4. I do the design myself, because it would be expensive.
5. I advise you to google the following word: adblock
VPS server for the site - ok)
Let's see what happens.
Why don't you like it? I will show the difference when I finish the work and what I changed for what. If you like the speed of this site, especially for your IP I will be able to slow it down by about 4 times in the future, no question.
What should happen? The site should speed up. I can guarantee this.

Thanks in advance.
I am not registered on social networks, and I do not plan to do so.
The group is open - I went in and looked. Found links to a couple of old interviews with Mark Houghton. As for me, the informational value of these materials is low, but I did translate one interview from 2002. Where to send the text?
I think everyone who sits on this site is interested in its promotion, and together we can maintain it. It is in our interests and in our power to do this. I am with you, together we are capable of much.
A sad event prompted me to write here. I have not done this before, although I have been reading the site regularly for three years or more. I’m just not an expert in this matter, I just love movies with BI, and this has been a long-standing love, dating back to the days of the ever-memorable video salons. I read news on famous movie sites such as variety, comingsoon, deadline, etc. But there is very little information about combat cinema there. I found such information here thanks to a person. who created this site. In general, I would be sorry if this project stopped, I think it would be wrong. Therefore, I am ready to offer my possible assistance: if you need translation of English-language materials, let me know.
Join the VK group. Please indicate that you are ready to help. By the way, there are already several materials for translation there.
I am also ready to help the site! Alexander once wrote to me that he would gladly trust me to do this. And I want to do this. In memory of him and in the name of his brainchild.
Anyone who wants to help the project, please indicate this in our group.
I support the life of this good site!
Don't close the site, we will help in any way we can. I will post any news I find.
Yes, there is already movement about its improvement in full swing) so everything is fine
does the site even have weight on large portals? If so, then you could create a page on the wiki... write down the history of the site there, etc. But for this you need to contact SerYoga... he is a moderator there and the author of an article about The Expendables 2
You can also ask the administrators of contact groups to help in the first couple of days with PR for the new domain... Celpaso for example, or other fighting friends from the column on the right)
I support the idea of a public page (there will be a better page). I can do this today, because... I have experience.
I joined the group too. In general, the main thing is that everything on VKontakte is not transferred. This happens very often - a group in VK begins to replace and replace some resource. As for discussions, some kind of chat can be started here over time.
All materials will be on the website. Links to them will be posted in the group, i.e. news added. A link to it appeared in the group. This will only increase the influx of users from VK. Perhaps, then we’ll create a chat or a forum. But this is after the completion of the main work.
I made a group because... You can create discussions in it, which will greatly simplify communication. The link to it is on the right sidebar. Check in there and I'll make you an admin.
I absolutely support!
Too long and does not really suit the theme of the site, because... Alexander's site has always been more highly specialized, it was specifically about bi in cinema, and not about action in general.
I agree, the prefix "action" covers a more general theme...
Offer more domain options!
By the way, social specialists networks would not be harmed either. Why not create a public page or group? By the way, it would be easier to resolve these issues there too. Did https://vk.com/martialartsinfo .
kinoaction.ru
actionmovie.ru/actionmovies.ru
actionfilm.ru/actionfilms.ru
These options seem clearly more solid to me)
In my head I still have something like fightmovie, fightfilm, fightcinema.
Well, fightfilm seems like nothing. Although a little complicated.
Does anyone have any ideas about the domain? We need something concise, easy to remember, in the international zone. Of course, it is better to check whether it is already registered.
Take your time so that everything doesn't fall apart. Don't force it, otherwise we'll mess it up.
Why not design your website professionally, like on kg-portal.ru, filmz.ru or film.ru? You will cover all events from the world of ACTION cinema, and not mainly short films and little-known Asian projects, as is the case now...
This way you will attract more people and make some profit. You will be the COOLEST site about cinema, where there will be the latest news about action legends, new faces of the genre and their projects) I personally have never met such sites...
Don’t even worry about advertising, you can shove tons of it, all for the benefit of the life of your favorite site) the main thing is to design it in a more attractive way so that it is not too intrusive))
If, after working on this project, a core of interested people is formed, it will be possible to launch a more serious portal, why not. But right now everything is still quite vague.
I’ll express my thought right here, but it would be nice to transfer the site to a social network engine (for example, Livestreet). Then there will be no problem filling it.
However, almost the same can be achieved with WordPress.
It will be extremely difficult to transfer to another platform. At a minimum, there will be problems with addresses. Everything will fly off the index. Perhaps in the future we will switch to another platform, but for now the VP is enough.
Barsug, can you email me your Skype details? Address den50393@mail.ru. On Monday or the other day I would like to talk about the future life of the site, of course. Any ideas. If you are in contact, then it would be advisable to also give me your account, please.
Here is my VK page https://vk.com/bar5ug. It will be easiest this way.
Write to everyone who wants to participate in the life of the site.
Guys. The main thing is that there is no fuss. Let's gradually and consistently think about new blocks, if necessary, new sections, and so on. Most people have problems with translations, which means that someone needs to deal with this separately. Articles, reviews in Russian - there are fewer problems with this, but it is necessary for someone to formulate this centrally, together. Here, one way or another, we will come up against changes in the resource interface and definitely in changing the format, because, as a rule, everyone will want to implement different material, including some of their own personal material.
I can take upon myself the review of newly received video short films by young stunt filmmakers. The topic of quality and promotion of independent youth action films must live. Moreover, films not only from Russia.
If necessary, I can already suggest a few news items that I found... just the articles need to be translated
I’m also always ready to help with news.
Most likely, a new engine and site interface is inevitable.
I’m ready to help as much as I can (although over time I’ve also gotten stressed).
I don’t know much about website administration, English (i.e. translations) is slightly above average, so I can only help with them once in a while (although as for administration...if you teach me, I’ll try to learn).
Because I am subscribed to the most famous foreign film and cinema sites, I can quickly send links to news (by email) for further publication.
About site changes and innovations. Maybe we can leave all this until better times, and now concentrate on maintaining the functioning of the site?
It can’t be closed, that’s for sure. Alexander’s business must live on.
The case must continue. Alexander and I talked about a lot about an interesting partnership, which he always had a positive attitude towards. There are some ideas that can and should be implemented. As for innovations, I believe that they are necessary. I don’t think it’s a question of design either. The main thing is that this resource continues its life, which Alexander once gave.
There is no group on VK.
Briefly speaking. I am very busy, but I am ready to take part in maintaining the resource. Definitely.
Under no circumstances should the site be closed, this is Sasha’s “brainchild”, if you have the opportunity to continue his work, then continue.
As for renaming the site.........please notify us about this in advance.
And yet, I’ve been here for a long time, but I don’t even know if we have a group on VK?
