  • Time For an Upgrade at Apolyton?

    With many new members joining and the release of Civ 3, Apolyton would look great with a new contemporary layout and graphics. These forums are good and easy to use, but wouldn't you agree that a better layout for Apolyton sub-sections would be nice? Also possibly Apolyton would be best of on a new server, obviously data transfer rates are beginning to run low, since avatars have been removed. Just an idea, any comments?

        We are subservient to the Apolyton state. Our masters tell us what to think.

            * checks the Apolyton front page for the first time this millennium *

            ... nope, no updating needed. It is light as it is now, and lightness is just what we ( -> Markos) want.

                We're currently working on content, features and "back-end mechanics" updates

                It is our belief that both the layout of the front page as well the "v2" layout use in most of the sections work just fine

                    I don't like the idea of branched threads. They become too difficult to follow.

                    Also, the only real thing I see that needs to be updated is the speed.

                        Me thinks that by the time a new server was built/aquired, shipped to a server farm, installed, and ridden of bugs, the extra demand will have subsided. I think this server is fine, there are just a lot of newbies lurking, and perhaps oldies are posting too much

                          the "v2" layout is what we use in the civ3, misc,about,alt.civs, ctp2,dino sections

                            No, don't change something that works.

                            The layout is great. I can actually navigate through this site without using Java or flash.
