Check out the new homepage

I want to give a shout out about this, since the first draft of the main text was written by me (and subsequently improved by others). Hopefully it signals a clean break with the Deanna Brayton era and more accurately reflects this site as it is now. I'd like to think it takes some of the credit for the influx of new recruits we've had over the last couple of days.

Well done Kris and all the others involved in the re-format. I appreciate a lot of hard work has gone into this and hopefully the new message will cut links to the old site.

Very nice work Kristatos. I never go to the home page link to the forum directly instead. It is a good very needed change.

Great work everyone!

Yes, it still has a link to the boycott page :oops:

Also, giving sources for the quotes in the box at the top of the page would be nice.

Brilliant. This is the step in the right direction for this site to be taken more seriously. Just a few more adjustments (boycott link) and you have a good great looking front page for a site that expresses opinion, rather than rant off about Pierce no longer being Bond.

Keep up the work! :D

Much better than the last home page, and gives this site much more credibility too.

I like it (even though I don't agree with it).
