All we need now is some Prozac and we're set... oh right, I mean we've updated the website and touched it up with a bit of class. Overall, the site should be a bit more readable and easier to pick up on links. More of the left side of things, you'll see its a bit more colored but in subtle tones. Hope this makes us all the more enjoyable instead of looking at dark colored round boxes. Boxes were never meant to be round other wise they'd be misshapen circles. We've also updated the forums which will operate a bit more smoothly than it ever has. The Blogs has also received its finishing touches as well.

Another big thing here is the frontpage, we've always had in mind to make it a bit more functional (more or less useful really). Previews of recent reviews and blogs, latest posts in all sections of the site including the forums, and we gave it a bit more space than the previous banner did.

In Eve-Online news:
The voting for the Council of Stellar Management has begun today. Make your voice count and vote! Remember that the voting ends May 19, 2008 and the Council members will be announced May 21, 2008. On that note, we would like to also announce that later today (if not tomorrow) Evecast will be publishing its first episode in 2 years. Season 2 will bring you the greatness that everyone use to enjoy. The first episode of this season will be a bit different however and be bit smaller than usual. It will have the usual hosts and news announcements, but it will also include some interviews of the Candidates for the CSM elections. So you may want to listen to the show and get your insight on who you want to vote on first.

If you're not sure what CSM is even about, then view the reasons, background and the intention of the CSM or see what the exact mechicanisms of the council's functions are.

That's it for now, we hope you guys enjoy the final touches to the site as this will be fairly permanent for a long while. Read more to see what more is to come.

More to come:

• A groovy game oriented image will replace the blood splatter behind the login box.
• Comment system look will be updated to be a bit more readable and to the point really. (There's too many options and mess in the look that it destroys the purpose of just commenting on an article)
• Fireboard will be tested and tried for version 1.1.0alpha site compatibility. (Means we are closer to being J1.5 Native in turn being a much faster website)
• Blogs may change a tiny bit more in its look but not much.
• Featured articles, these include That Guy's articles, Mog's mogisms, and Ask Dawn from the Voice of Eden.
• Latest forum posts will be noted on the frontpage for even quicker access.
• Rating system using Ajax so it's easy to rate an article and make it popular.
• Few other things to come but we'll see.

The website design itself is nearing its completion. All other changes after that date will be subtle and more for the functionality and security of the site. Make your mark and give a suggestion at our help desk.

I really like this new update Karnedge, things feel more accessible now and your idea for putting a more game orienated background instead of the bloodstain is another good idea.
