Why not just try it? :) I haven't tried it myself, but I think the information gamerDNA posts on Facebook is about the same as what it posts with Game Activities on the actual site.

Microsoft only tells other sites the amount of Achievements unlocked, and the total amount of points, no detailed info on specific Achievements. :(

Normally I'd tell you there is a way to manually add missing games to gamerDNA. Games added that way can't be found in the official games directory, but otherwise they are no different from official games.

I checked (using Google, searching for: "site:gamerdna.com "Face of Mankind""), and someone already beat you to it, creating Face of Mankind, so you can just add the game to your profile from there. Once the game becomes popular on gDNA (a bunch of people added it), and once the gDNA people confirm it's a real game, it could be added to the official games directory so it can be found with the search option.

Actually there is a copy Face of Mankind. It looks empty, but it says there are 3 players, so could someone from gamerDNA merge the two?

Retodon8 replied on December 09, 2009 18:28 to the idea "Xbox Live Indie Game Tracking" in GamerDNA:

The Xbox gameplay information gDNA gets comes from an official Xbox feed. (I think you need to be an Xbox MVP for access to that.)

Raptr probably scrapes Xbox.com for that information. Scraping takes a lot of computing power, both from the server doing the scraping (Raptr) and the server being scraped (Xbox). Even if Raptr can handle it, Microsoft probably doesn't like such a bit hit on their server. I can't seem to find any of the official replies to related questions, but someone from gDNA mentioned the large amount of members they have, makes it impossible to scrape.

I'm not with Xbox, gDNA, or Raptr, so someone more knowledgeable please correct me if I'm wrong.

Retodon8 replied on December 09, 2009 01:54 to the idea "Xbox Live Indie Game Tracking" in GamerDNA:

As far as I know, Indie Games played aren't logged, even by Microsoft themselves. If you log into Xbox.com you don't see any mention of them on your profile page, or anywhere else. Since the official site doesn't log them, I'm sure Microsoft doesn't relay that information to other websites, like gamerDNA either. In other words, gamerDNA has no way of knowing you played any Indie Games.

The best thing you can do is manually add the game to your gamerDNA profile, and manually add game events associated with that game(s).

They'll need your old/current name first. :)

Retodon8 replied on December 03, 2009 14:02 to the question "Custom Horizontal Banner" in GamerDNA:

I think you should mail sales@gamerdna.com. That's the contact link given at the bottom of gDNA's Advertisers page.

Then again, their Contact page also suggests asking any questions you might have right here.

Retodon8 replied on November 23, 2009 05:00 to the problem "Quick Find shortcut problem" in GamerDNA:

Are you using Fx (Firefox) by any chance? I am now pretty sure you're encountering a browser issue rather than a gDNA issue.

Apparently in Fx pressing the apostrophe (') key (or the slash (/) key) opens the "Quick Find" bar at the bottom. I tried, and it does indeed opens the QF bar, but that feature is disabled when I'm typing something in a text field, letting me use those characters. I found two articles documenting problems, the latter linked in the former: "Quick find bar opens when typing in text fields" and "Find bar opens when typing in textbox". I hope one of those can offer some insight.

I only knew about the Find bar (Ctrl + F) before. Both kinds are documented in "Searching within a page".

A comment on the problem "No mention of my PS3 trophies!!! Whats going on? :(" in GamerDNA:

The same thing goes for everybody. Until Sony supports "Trophy reading" again, gamerDNA won't be able to provide this feature. Your best bet is writing Sony and asking them to re-add this. – Retodon8, on November 21, 2009 03:18

Retodon8 replied on November 21, 2009 03:15 to the idea "Photo Tagging and Albums" in GamerDNA:

I've been thinking the same thing. A more general folksonomy could be useful, with "@Name" tags easily letting you tag other gDNA members. Other members' images with you in it could show up in your profile, in something of an album like you suggest. Sorting/filtering images by game to create on-the-fly albums would also be nice. Of course a tagging feature needs people to use it properly and/or moderating, so it might be wanting to much.
