Let me know what you think.......I've overhauled the design and made some new graphics......I'm open to any suggestions on any material you think should be included there.

Hope you like it.

There's a link on the top under the banner, and any searches will make it turn up, just like the board turns up on Google.

I didn't even realize there was a website that described this website.

It's the homepage. This is the message board. Smartass.

I went to it. I'm not being a smartass. I had no idea. What goes on with the homepage though? All I noticed was a description and a link.

It's for any news or messages we may need to convey in case the board is down or something. I want everyone to know about it so if the board is down for updates or whatever, everyone will know what's going on.

And, it can also be easier to market a place if it has an actual homepage. Lots of message boards have a homepage.

If anybody finds the board by searching in search engines, they'd find the website as well. Like I explained above, it's not all about recruiting members as it is a homepage for members of this board so they can read updates on the board if the server is down or we have some other problem. Most big message boards I go to have their own homepage to keep updates and stuff on.

Also, a lot of boards have column writers for their websites, and I like to think between my Rangers blog and MM's Yankees blog, we have a form of that as well.

It's wack. You should've let Rob design it.

I'm playing. I commend you for the effort but since I don't see it as necessary, I'll probably never visit it again. I've got the link for here so it's all we need for now.

I can honestly say that i've never visited the homepage once, and was not even aware of its existence until this thread.

That's why I made the damn thread. It's there for the purposes I told M23. You don't need to visit it again unless you need info on the board.

Why would we need info on the board if we're already on the board?

Why would we need info on the board if we're already on the board?

Did you even read my conversation with M23 above? If there's any problems with the board (server maintenance, server problems, being slow, etc etc) there is a way everyone can know about it via the website. Otherwise, nobody would know anything and we'd be sitting here with our thumbs up our asses just waiting.

This way, there's always a place that will be available to display info that you may need to know.

Yeah, I remember like a year and a half ago, the servers went down and no one knew what was going on. People should keep this link handy just in case anything like that happens again.

If the server goes down, I expect an e-mail (and none of that default "for all members of the BAS community" sh*t - a personal one) for one of you.

If we can’t address the message board for any reason it makes little sense to go to the web site. If you can’t get onto the board do something else and try the board tomorrow. If we try for a few days and can’t get on then we can assume the board has been shut down b/c of porn, flaming or some other obscene display. The web site probably won’t even be updated anyway.

Um....if there's a problem with the board, why can't you just go right to the website to find out what it is?

I'll know what it is almost immediately, and I'll write it on the site. That's so nobody has to wonder if the board is gone for good or if it's just down for maintenance.

And yes, the website will be updated if there is important news regarding the state of the board. What's with you?

Ray's just being responsible. If there's a school closing, you want to be notified. If the boards down, you don't want to have to go refreshing and trying to get on when you can check his site and know what's up

Exactly. I hate when it happens to other boards that I post on, so I figured I'd make it so the members here can know ASAP what the deal is with the board. There's no reason not to have that available.
