Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I'm kind of suprised by the sudden change. I've grown so used to seeing the other Dragon I had to double check to make sure I logged into the right website . Does anyone like/dislike the change?

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I'm indifferent. Something bothers me a little bit about the logo now being on a backdrop from one specific game, but everything looks fine. —Alorael, who doesn't care as long as website user-friendliness isn't killed.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 SW's homepage has looked many different ways. Personally, I still like the light wood-grain pattern from 2006 best. But all of them are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 To all those who like the sidebar but not so much the header, I agree.

Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I see the change now. I had to refreshen my page for it to show up. The new look seems more adventurey and less formal then it was before. Also, the tabs have moved on the screen I believe. Same order as before but they all moved up a little.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The home page was last changed in the very beginning of 2005. So it's been about five years. Probably time for a change. —Alorael, who doubts the change was intended to plug A6. The logo background doesn't actually mention A6, so the only people who would notice are the ones who have already downloaded and at least seen the splash image of the game.

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 The splash of the game is right below the image, however. Wouldn't take a genius to connect the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not really, seeing how the A6 splash-screen is the first image below the new header, everybody who goes to SW's front page will see it. Edit: Ack, a moment too slow!

The Shaper in the G5 graphic would make a better background, especially with Jeff's face photoshopped (poorly of course) in, and a copy of A6 instead of a wingbolt.

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have to say, though I don't like the logo, for much the same reason as everyone else, this is a crazy and fun new path for Spiderweb Software's homepage.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have mixed feelings on the new menu. In related news, are all the old menus available on archive.org?

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I looked them up on Wayback Machine.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 [[Place appropriate Alo-age joke here]] ~Artemis and bottled water. I have one of those refrigerators where you press the button and filtered water comes out. I think I need to change the filter. Is it normal for water to taste funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 If its taste can be described as "funny" then evidently it's not normal. I'm lucky, because the tap water where I live is good anyway and doesn't really need filtering. I just wish the pipes at UMass Boston weren't rusty, forcing me to buy bottled beverages anyway.

Unflappable Drayk Toby-Linn Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Bottled water always tastes somewhat funny to me, too oxidated/filtered or something, I think.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Bottled water is tap water, essentially. —Alorael, who thinks the solution to bad water is a water filter, not bottles. Or possibly a carboy that you fill somewhere with less rusty pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 We have a well, so my water tastes completely serious. The water in town, on the other hand, really sucks. It looks like watery milk (even after it's been sitting out for awhile to ge rid of the dissolved air in the crappy pipes, or whatever).

Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Go drink the water from the tap in Santiago Chile. You can drink it and it is clean but unless you are used to it you will get sick for a bit. You can smell the chlorine in the water every time you turn on the tap. but the fact is the water is drinkable. Something we often do not think of as a luxury.
