Official Announcement: Apolyton vBulletin 3 redesign complete and ready to launch
Apolyton Civilization Site is proud to announce the major phase in the redesign of the site and forum system has been completed.
We now have a running version of the new site, complete with new graphics, and a new "Apolyton PLUS" program, that gives access to even moar great Apolyton content.
The graphics were done by our very own Dan "FrostyBoy" Kermichael, whom we thank very much. We went for an updated new concept that should appeal to old-timers and new comers alike, by tapping into modern web 2.0 design and popular internet themes and concepts, which we think would be easily recognizable and easy to love for everyone.
"It [ha]s been very long since the last time we updated the [ACS vBulletin forum] code" said proud site administrator and owner Dan Quick, "and I think it's about time".
"We've had some differences about where the site should be going, and had some arguments in the secret staff room. Some points regarding 'commercialization' and 'selling out to popular culture' were raised by Locutus but the outcome was decided by a democratic vote among [the site] owners, and I think it turned out for the best".
Locutus do not want to comment and did not return further calls.
So here it is - the baby that Gramphos and I have been working on for months (or as we called it, our very own little fur ball).
We went out and purchased a new domain to better reflect the site's new direction and increase it's Google [tm] ranking.
Here is a running version. Mind you, that while graphically and functionally complete, not all the threads have been converted, and most will go through in the rest of the weekend.
Comments are always appreciated, though Dan has already decided, so that's the way it is gonna stay.
Gramphos and Sirotnikov.

Is this serious?
It looks like a noob in web design tried out something and thats what he came up with....
And please tell me that
is a joke. Because thats not the direction I would be looking into...[we are] tapping into modern web 2.0 design and popular internet themes and concepts, which we think would be easily recognizable and easy to love for everyone.
No offense, I am just being honest.

God damnit, Spec, of course it's a joke.
The funniest part of it was the idea that they could upgrade to v3 at all.

I thought it was very funny, witty, and forward-thinking
DanQ did too, which is all that matters, I guess.

but then people will read it without reading the press release which i spent alot of time writingOriginally posted by LordShiva
Yeah, put it up near teh top of teh article.

Well, I thought it was serious because the thread is topped. Even knowing its a joke, I really do see how its funny. Maybe I'm just not enough into the poly stuff and such.
Like Polycast....wtf is up with that waste of time? I'd rather be picking my nose than waste time watching that crap. DanQ is f*cking up I tell you.
