New Homepage!!

[Micah 16]

The new homepage is up!! I like it... but it will take some time getting use to. I'm a bit confused on some stuff, but I know it is just a start.

[irishgrapes 1]

Hurray indeed.

[DuskTrooper 314]

Wahey! It greatly resembles the old one...to an extent, which is great!

[MayorTim 16]

Indeed! The site finally feels "whole" to me!

[magpieshooter 1]

YAY! I noticed it by accident, I thought I was on the STEX

[Ryan B 35]

This is very well done. I can't wait to see the finished product!

[dev 47]

I'm glad that the "Submit News" feature will be returning...it was something that I missed from 3.0.

[van1357 15]

Its great to see the home page again. Thanks to everyone who helped to get it (and the new, updated site) up and running.

Isaac.

It'll take a bit to get used to... the only thing that bugs me is that it's in a similar color scheme as the forums/stex. I always remember it darker. It'll probably be harder to get used to for some reason. But I love that it's finally back!

[Praetorian Cohort 0]

Yay!

The site still doesn't feel as "professional" as the old version, to me at least. Ah well. I'll adjust eventually...

Same here.

I like the new recent replies window and the STEX spotlight is still there along with the news which is good but I don't think it should look like the STEX page as much. I liked it in 3.0 where the newest lots and bats on the STEX were listed below the replies like this (Where the arrow and circle is):

Other than that, great to see the old homepage back. Now we have what we had back. Now you can focus on the additional aspects of the site such as the new CJ section!

[sparkythepenguin 90]

Very user-friendly! If theupcoming homepage improvements are anything like how the signature editing tools and forum tools have appeared, we're in for a real treat. Just about anything you want is at the front. Glad to see a nice front door to ST back.

[JustinHayward 10]

Well what can you say about this website ???

It just keeps getting better and better ........................ !!!!

What can we say about Dirk and the staff ???

The best darned webmaster on the world wide web, and a dedicated staff that deserve a pay rise !!!

[sim1234 62]

The site now feels complete and all of it looks fantastic, thanks a lot dirk!

[Superstar 69]

I still didn't get a chance to see it on my computer because I'm away but on my PSP it looks great! Well done!

[Mikeaut1 261]

Wow, great job on the new homepage Dirk!! It looks really really nice!!

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Well, the dirktator is back in good form.  Very nice job on the Home page.

[Mr. Cortez 11]

I am glad the recent replies scroller is up and running. I could not interface with the site until that was up!

[simdad1957 3]

And once again the force is one with the universe, Simtropolis has returned to a semblance of its former self. Seriously, great job Dirk, I can't imagine how much work you and your team has been putting in on this effort. I can only tell you how much it is appreciated. Simtropolis is probably the best fan site dedicated to any game on the entire web!!

[hym 358]

Well done, Dirk!! It looks great.

[dudeson 0]

Agreed...

What a great surprise.  Every day I'm wondering if it'll be up yet and wow... I wasn't even thinking about it this time.

I also thought it was the STEX for a second there... ha ha  

Thanks for the hard work Dirk.  Same to you Simtropolis Help Squad.  ST5.0 rocks! 

[Voar Tok 4]

I love the look of the new home page. It has a clean, yet useful look (and the new features are pretty sweet too).

Thanks for the compliment dudeson.

[Firebird 40]

WHAT!!??

I miss one day beacuse of STUPID homework and come back to this new homepage. WHAT WAS Dirk THINKING. Changeing stuff without telling me!

Great work Dirk. Time and time again, you give your life to this site. GREAT JOB

EDIT: I am only kidding about being angry.

[vid 0]

I miss the old old simtropolis. Reminds me of when I wasn't as stupid.

[justanothersim86 83]

I was surprised. Didn't think it would ever be up, but Dirk and Co. proved me wrong on that count. Again.

Whoa! Never saw that before b/c I didn't know about Simtrop back then. I like how it's really colorful.

I, too, am glad to see the new homepage. Thank you dirk and staff for working endlessly on this site. We all are very grateful!

[Compromise 1]

I think its wonderful dirk. I am looking forward to seeing and maybe using this submit news feature in action.

[choco1 4]

I think its the best we've ever had dirk! I like all the new features and the returns of the good old features! I agree with compromise, it sounds like a brilliant way to include the community into the site even more.

[jacqulina 162]

great work very nice home page nice to see it back even better

[zeke12 49]

The site is finally as professional looking as it was before. Absolutely beautiful homepage.

Now I just need to make a spiffy avatar and I'll be ready to go. (again)
