Noone's probably noticed, but there's been a few changes

The rest of My website's more or less finished, so I hope to have it up within the next day or two.

Also note, if you use a forum avatar, you'll need to update it via your profile. I hope you enjoy the new avatars- not quite so crappy as the old ones!

Glad you like the new look Tri

- Anyone with a custom avatar can stick with their current custom avatar.. unless they want to change it, in which case, sent either Bugsy, Giam or myself your new pic (which must be within forum requirements *see FAQ) and one of us will assign it for ya.

Makes me curious about how the site will look!

Woah, I go away for one day, and all this happens!! Nice changes, the colour scheme is very 'cybernetic'. Majorly cool.

Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Just passed through the main site. Nice work! The layout is pretty cool, and I like the integration of that picture of the girl on the left bit. I second Tri on the voices, those are a nice touch. Good to see all the hard work was worth it!

Oh Ben, btw: as a faithful Mozilla Firefox user, I have to say the 'click to enter' image doesn't show up, just gives a white bar ;p
Otherwise, excellent work on the site redesign!

Lol. Yeah, you can have some fun with those. I think I need them a little louder tho- they're a bit quiet in comparison with the resrt of the sound- tried them on another computer and had to up the speaker volume to hear them. I'm sure there's a fair few bugs that I'll need to iron out over the next week.

Thanks a lot dude I started work on it back in May 2004 so it would take forever to explain everything! I will say, get yaself Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Image Ready or Fireworks, Flash, Sound Forge, a PHP coder dude and a trusty note pad and pen then search the web for tutorials! That's basically what I did.

- Thanks for pointing that out! I noticed the same thing when I tested with Mozilla a few hours ago but thought it was down to not having a Flash Plugin. I'll have to look into getting shockwave/ flash files to work with Mozilla

Well, since I don't post here often I don't have much right to say anything. But I do like the new layout, both for the site and board.

However, I'm kinda disappointed that you got rid of the chime on the links.. and went instead for the deep techy sound. Whatever it is. But its still cool.

Keep up the awesome work (and Bomu, I'm workin on that money lol)...
