both work, and both have for a while

no idea why people are so attached to priate, it just makes it harder for new players to remember

You'll find that forums.planetarion.com does work (and has for about 2 rounds now) in addition to pirate.planetarion.com

That's the same as game.planetarion.com works, but jpaweb01.planetarion.com still works as it always has.

Instead of getting a Free coder team, how about for once Jolt will be renting a coder team to finally get some work done?

If it were a consistent naming scheme it wouldn't be.

I hereby petition to have game.planetarion.com changed to daeraithpulsar.planetarion.com.

other than a lack of links to stuff like the manual, how would this be different to currently?

in all seriousness, i think a dev diary would be a bad idea. currently pa's development approach wouldn't bear the weight of public scrutiny well.

ok until a new portal is done we are stuck with this one - i have done some minor remoddeling - basically to the menus - so take a look now www.planetarion.com and give me some advice on the menus

Zeus · 25 Jan 2005, 22:48

/me says nothing

Kal · 25 Jan 2005, 22:48

also if anyone has planet or galaxy listings from round 10, 10.5, 11, or 12 it would be appreciated

After beeing puzzled about the change, i like the new order

Nice collection below "planetarion tools". A constructive change - well done IMHO.

And within 12 hours the first idiot showed up. God bless syndication.

I'd recommend splitting off official stuff from unofficial stuff. 'Third party resources' or 'Community resources' might be better than 'Planetarion Tools'.

changed it, is the change ok?

demiGOD · 26 Jan 2005, 15:55

get a bright red background and big purple letters with neon yellow flames on the side, also old english font for all the letters so itll be easier to read

just kidding - the guidebook is an awesome idea

i suggest to load a separate link of the manual on the menu vice making it a sub-menu under the guidebook

i have end of round backups of universe screens (the html sites) from r11 + r12, both PA and pilkara. post-r11 speedround final rankings too.let me know if it is of any use.
also, the commented r12 list (with nicks + alliances) should still be somewhere on these forums.

demiGOD · 27 Jan 2005, 02:04

i have r12 complete planet listings and alliance listings

Kal · 27 Jan 2005, 10:12

envious and demigod can u email me what u have - [email protected] - Spinner should have the full listings for me somewhere but he is otherwise engaged atm so we might as well get something up now

The portal needs more <marquee> and <blink>.

And animated .gifs, they're always a hoot.

Zeus · 27 Jan 2005, 12:27

forgive me, and certainly no disrespect to the hard work people have put into the portal. Content is one thing to work on, look is another. Look NEEDs addressed also.

ceres · 27 Jan 2005, 12:33

When you view a webpage it should convey to you instantly what the website's purpose/product is, this site does not. Have a graphical 'splash' page might be misleading with regards to the level of actual graphics in the game, but atleast it conveys the general idea of a web based space game.

one option is to have a graphical splash screen which then leads to a fuller portal - however the first question there is - is a fuller portal needed at all? I direct people to the current poll on the portal about columns

demiGOD · 29 Jan 2005, 03:08

actually, it looks good, fairly decent and friendly-looking from about 3.5 feet away from my monitor

The portal is of little importance, getting the first screen right is what you should be focus'ing on.

some people do actyually use the current portal - the argument is that others would use it if there were useful things on it - but i agree the first screen id of more immediate importance
