Hi folks, just wanted to let you know that I've been burnout in the last months so the progress basically stopped but I am gonna try to get back on track with DART. Anyway, my current idea is to start drastically changing the parts of the website to make it more modern and interesting, it's time to leave DDO's shadow and move forward. I will try to make the website more modern*** and accessible for text readers and mobile devices, and what's more important, replace the core functionality with something more advanced and entertaining, which is something I will need your help with :)

I already have some drafts of the new design so you can check it out here:

I like it. The more information the members have, the better and more user friendly the experience will be.

The debate lectern is a classy logo, though I wish we could keep something that ties in with our nickname Dart. I think it makes a more interesting logo.

Thanks for all the work.

Yeah, agreed. I will also all kinds of notifications, digests and all that to make things more interesting and active :)

You are absolutely right and I tried but I couldn't come up with something unique and good looking :/ That's one of those situations when having a designer on board is rather handy. 

Thanks for all the work.
No, thank you for being here :)

I like the idea. How are you going to define, "Most Active Member?"

Glad to hear :)

Probably something simple, say a number of posts in the last 7 days.

Sounds basic enough. Was just curious.

I like the layout, but it may take some time for me to get used to it lol

Nah, it's not gonna be that different for the auth and the forum. But it may change drastically for the debates though.

Oh it's going to get sooooooo much better, I will leverage some bad-ass search engine that will make finding things a breeze

With your mod team banishing trolls like Jesus casting out demons, and you making the site as smooth as a Dr. J power dunk, I may fall in love.

I predict good things for this site.
