You know, I think that if you try hard enough you actually CAN be more negative about at least SOME of the things you have written over the last several month. But I am not 100% sure.

Ofcourse I can, but in this case I'm being completely realistic

Also, didn't we used to have a bunch of content including illustrations from the old manuals? What happened to that stuff?

This is an excellent point from a man who was involved in designing the current site

What can I say? Five years of designing things professionally has taught me a thing or two.

Why not switch to wordpress with a few dedicated news posters?

I concur that the front page could be updated. Something to attract newbies to SC. You could consider links and references to the new game.

I used to come here more for info on project 6014. But it seems like it has died out.

I did start a page.. http://www.star-control.com/sc5/ - suppose I could put some actual content on it. Maybe Brad has some behind the scenes stuff he could share

Regarding the home page are we suggesting a "landing" page as apposed to the news feed? Cause I'm on-board with that idea, it would make more sense.

Personally I've found WordPress to be a pain in the butt to do layouts for, it's very *sticky* and I'm not sure how well it would integrate with our board, further more it's not very difficult to add more "news" posters to our current system.

I just noticed "zorg" is broken too.

And lastly regarding the illustrations from the old manuals there still here far as I know, perhaps not linked, if nothing else I do have several backups of the previous versions of the site.

Main thing is we need dedicated news posters, not Scott Irvings who post sporadically

. (No offense intended!)
In this case I think the more the merrier is a good idea

I hear Blogger is the hot place to be.
