New Look and Feel

AS for the strategies. I was thinking of having a voting system and order the display based on votes. This would thereby float the good strategies to the top and the bad ones at the bottom. Bottom feeding strategies would then be considered for elimination.

I’m also working on a design for content management so that I can more quickly and more automatically update the site.

I was wondering, why did you choose the wooden backround?

As you know, i am in favor of changing/upgrading the “strategies” page.
With regards to banners etc. - again do whatever you want. You know your audience, so shoot for the banners that will interest them. (Avalon Hill, Ebay, Amazon, other video games and strategy games).
With regards to the header, if you find things faster with a simpler header, then by all means go with it.
my 2 cents.

David,
Drop me an email if you’re interested in exchanging banners. Maybe we could work something out. I could do some free Flash animation for you if you want. I’d be more than willing to give you some advertising space on my site. :P

Think about it.

Now that I think of it, it is a good place for a banner.

@GeZe:

I chose the wooden background to make it look like a game on a table top. Notice the borders of the “game boards” are like those of the game.

First of all, DJensen, thanks for all the work on this groovin website! And especially for bringing it back from cyberhades.

The new home page looks crisp & colorful. Nice stuff.
The banner space (woodgrain) makes sense for sponsors, advertisers like eBay, gaming companies, etc.

can’t access the “Strategy” page, can sorta recall how it was set up, etc…. the voting system is a good idea, if you think it’s worth the labor. Guess it will improve the overall level of play among members & guests.

A question from the rabble (me):
1. what in heck is “UI”?? User Interface? Usual Intropage? Universal Intro?

[DeviantScripter]

User Interface. :P

[djensen]

How about Ultimate Iguana? :D

User Interface is correct.

[djensen]

What do people think about the removal of the rollovers? Are they missed or do you prefer the page load speed enhancement?

[Yanny]

Changed name to something more fitting…

LOL I was wondering who had changed it
