[QUOTE=Noodleneck;22963902]Too bad it's Latin.[/QUOTE] It is Latin but it has no meaning, it's just filter text from Microsoft Office.

same as neo said, as long as something is released to replace fpsb or w/e, i don't care.

This thread should have a checklist of all the things TF2emp.com needs before completion... Along with an estimated time of completion... rate me useful

[QUOTE=ArsonBoy5996;22965513]This thread should have a checklist of all the things TF2emp.com needs before completion... Along with an estimated time of completion... rate me useful[/QUOTE] That's actually a brilliant idea.

[QUOTE=Galago;22959961] Here is a [b]developmental timeline of the website design[/b] phase (ie, Photoshop): 1. preliminary mockup [IMG_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2319552/emporium_1stconcept.jpg[/IMG_thumb] 2. tweaked design to support multiple front-page spotlight entries [IMG_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2319552/emporium_2ndconcept.jpg[/IMG_thumb][/QUOTE] Excellent work, it'll help with archiving some of the websites progress...

It looks great.

HTML/CSS, we have liftoff.

[QUOTE=Shounic;22970555]that image of goldrush better rotate through images. kinda like [url]http://communityfortress.com/[/url][/QUOTE] Ahem. [QUOTE=Galago;22963700]That's the 'spotlight', which will feature prominent community contributions, TF2 news, and the like. For example, if the site was currently up-and-running, we'd have some sort of thing about how the Polycount contest deadline was the 26th, etc.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Galago;22970825]Ahem.[/QUOTE] sorry, just wanted to make sure and give you an example. i know someone already suggested, but i was making sure we were on the same page.

[QUOTE=Shounic;22971158]sorry, just wanted to make sure and give you an example. i know someone already suggested, but i was making sure we were on the same page.[/QUOTE] No problem. Also, HTML is progressing nicely, should be finished up tomorrow. StinkyJoe did a fuckton of backend stuff as well today, we're making great progress.

Just wondering here, but what would the main page look like with TF2-ier fonts?

[QUOTE=Galago;22971621] It doesn't really click with the design, to me at least.[/QUOTE] I see and I agree.

The font it uses now makes it look like one of those shitty free sites.

I like it better with the TF2 font, it looks more appropriate IMO.

So it will be something like Fpsbanana but only with the best of the best mods uploaded.

Vote agree to change the fonts to that of TF2. Vote disagree to keep the current fonts.

[QUOTE=Vita;22972349]I like it better with the TF2 font, it looks more appropriate IMO.[/QUOTE] me too. can we get a side by side comparison?

The Team Fortress 2 font fits MUCH better in my opinon. Please use that font.

Maybe you should set up a blog to show people what progress you're making. Or use the tweety thing if you're one of those hip ipoot teckmology kids.

I hate twitter.

Still looks great Galago

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;22973354]Please please please please please tell me you've decided to add mirror support.[/QUOTE] Right now you can just link mirrors in the mod page, but if the need arises adding proper support is a 10-minute task.

Mirror support is the kinda thing which is required, even if it is a clone of banana's system having mirrors to reduce the workload from the main web server is a must.
