The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Redesigning TheLandBeforeTime.org

Well I'm glad to be rid of Freewebs, but to be perfectly honest I never really liked the new LandBeforeTime.org website.  It was VERY difficult to make, taking nearly 200 hours, but it just never felt "right."  I hope to change that with a streamlined design plan.  The new website will take advantage of some HTML5 and CSS3 elements and will have a TON of Javascript.  I've made a crude diagram of the design I'm planning:



Sorry for its ugliness.  I never was good at drafting plans. :p But it'll be A LOT better than it looks on this plan.  I plan to make a top navigation that utilizes a drop-down menu as opposed to the standard vertical navigation that I have on most of my websites.

The horizontal navigation is gonna kill me.  I have to sit down and write up a complete restructured plan for TheLandBeforeTime.org.  Things are gonna be changing rather rapidly.  I hope you're all ready for it. :yes
