It’s been pretty obvious for a few days now, that this site has gone through some major changes. Even so, I’d like to post an update about it and also talk about what you guys want out of this site.

Welcome to the new look Twilight Lynk.

The original design for this place was pretty much a rip-off of my old web site, The Anime Crisis Center, and to be perfectly honest, wasn’t very good at all. I’ve managed to get most of the work done with this new look, but there are still a few small issues to be worked out, such as the forum images which need to be replaced. Either way, this is the way things are going to be for Twilight Lynk from now on.

If you have any questions or suggestions or whatever, let me know. Your input is extremely valuable since this site is here for you guys to use. Tell me what you like and what you don’t like and also what you want out of this web site. Be brutally honest, I need as much feedback as possible to make this place as good as it can be.

Thanks, and enjoy!

I'll be Brutally honest(when am i not)... I love the new layout.
Pho3nix says:
Yes, the layout does indeed win the internets.
Stormfalcon says:
I think this new design is f***ing awesome!

It's great that everyone is loving the design, but a small part of me is kind of disappointed. Some of the fun of web design is fixing stuff that you don't see yourself and making things better... but apparently I don't have to do that with this design. A job well done, I guess...

Either way, now that the site has an apparently kickass design, now all I gotta do is write articles and other stuff to compel people to join and grow the community... and that's all easier said than done.

I ventured here because of an article, so you're on the right track

I'm afraid I have just to nitpick one small part of the design here. The blue background on both sides of the forum seem to remind me too much of BGCC. It does however make the centre of the page stand out more which may be it's purpose but if you want to start out new and fresh then maybe you should change the blue part.

I'm not sure if this would work but maybe try and see what it looks like if you change the sides to the same grey colour as the ones on the forum, it may make the forum look a bit more bland though so if it does you can change it back.

I know, I grabbed it straight from the BGCC design and it's purpose is exactly what you said, to make the actual page content stand out more... I'm not going to change it though because BGCC doesn't exist anymore... also, do you think the rest of the site would care a blue scan line background was from an old web site design I made back in the day? Most people in here don't even know what BGCC is.

If I changed it to gray then it would be too bland. Plus the page content itself is gray and it would lose its effect. Plus the forum and site has exactly the same design and colour scheme, no difference at all.

I've already thought all of this through

I actually like browsing the forum a bit more because of the new design XD
I think the blue parts are fine and work quite well

I added a poll thingy to the homepage just now

Big thanks go to stoffe from over at LucasForums who gave me the script to make it all work. She's a champion.
maverick187 says:
yes, it's true stoffe is a champion
Pho3nix says:
She's overrated.

Kookee says:
indeed my good man, I suggest it would be best if shall one to identify oneself...
kin37ik says:
come to think of it i kinda miss not having to go through the crisis centre homepage to get to the forums, doesnt feel the same =/

by the way, liking the layout, looks good =)
Lynk Former says:
You have a new homepage to go through now.
W.Gardner says:
I went by mainframe there... I posted a half finished model of a bubblegum crisis suit and was looking for other BGC references at that time. Damn, I havent touched 3dsmax in months.... That's life and kids...
