New Site!
« on: August 25, 2007, 12:47:04 pm »
I have decided rather then try and "update", "fix"and "repair" the site I will start a new site from the ground up, including all the content of the current site with much more new content.

As such to keep an eye on what I'm doing please check the address, www.star-control.com/beta , which at the time of posting this is not active yet, but will be shortly. So as a visitor to the site I ask you to take a look from time to time and give me any feedback you might have. By doing so you will be helping to make the site better for everyone!

thanks!
-your friendly not quite as reclusive as chad pnf person type guy.

UPDATE: Sept 16 - I've started actually putting stuff in the beta site folder!, not much but a teaser image but it's a start, Chad has told me he would like to see the site done up using all the nifty html tools at our disposal, so I guess i need to learn php and sql...

UPDATE2: Jan 7 - I seem to have got rather busy lately, However I have been setting things straight in my life, Getting PNF finished is one of those "things". Here it is 3:47 AM on a Monday morning and I'm actually getting something done. I just completed a custom cursor for the site, It may not get used and end up as a download. I'm currently working on a more minor page that doesn't require anything fancy html wise. The "get Star Control" page.

Hmmm...  Interesting.  Let me know if you need any Flash.

Sounds great! A new site will allow you to start anew, and probably be a lot easier than to somehow update the old one. but then again, you probably knew that. Good luck with it anyhow!

Awesome.

I'm glad that some Star Control fans aren't as lazy and technically illiterate as I am. Will follow your progress with interest.

Scott, if it weren't gay, and we weren't separated by who know how many miles, I would kiss you.  ;)

Hmm, just curious, how is your being gay an obstacle to kissing Scott?

y'know... besides the miles away problem you already mentioned...

If it weren't gay Rider. Indicating he'd do if it wasn't a gay action, implicating that he isn't gay and doesn't do gay actions.

On topic though, it looks like the site is up... or at least the server, 'cause there's nothing on it yet.

So did I actually, I had to go back and read it carefulyl to catch the it. Buth then when I did, I couldn't help myself, I had to sound like a smartypants. Anyhow, waiting eagerly for the new beta to come up so I can't start mailing Scott about how everything is wrong and what he should do and why isn't there a timetable and just do what I want dammit!

Your logic isn't entirely valid. It doesn't necessarily follow that he isn't gay simply because he doesn't wish to partake in gay actions.

There's my smartypants post of the day. :)

No no no!  You're missing the point.  We all just assume that Luki is right, around here!  You should too.  It will enrich your life, and you'll be more fulfilled.

Aaand the Beta site is finally up. Very impressive, even though I think it'll be a while before it can compete with the original one.

  I dunno.  Looks pretty good to me.  I think Scott might be done already.
