Free Allegiance Forums

Ok, I feel really stupid now but ... where do I cast my vote?
"ASGS polls" as in they appear upon loggin in game? I don't see them (nor I see anything up on the forums)

http://www.thegamersoffice.com/Dorjan/bacon2

a 3rd contender (which is unfinished but Is completing as you watch, please note the background is still the beta one. We never decided on a good background as this one finishes poorly for widescreens and is too large.)

this is Bacons/sp4wns design, Bacons writing with my coding.

Nothing is fixed and all is pending approval.

Whoever didn't like them should have posted it on the long thread that there's in general .

Hehe, barf.

Sorry, let me qualify that more:

Objectively BAD stuff: Embedded CSS, Inline styles, inline javascript, tons of layout tables, two 404s caused by missing images, total on-load footprint of almost a megabyte (!!!), 99% of which is images which could be compressed a ton, no gzip compression, no expires headers, poorly configured ETags, over 42 requests on pageload. (Note, I have not even done browser compatibility testing)

Subjectively BAD stuff: Crappy images (page looks like it came right out of 1999, the old design was way better - gj pook), inconsistent menu system (beneath video).

Good stuff: More info is good.

1. Yes
2. Neither.

1. Yes
2. Of the three, if I rank them, it's AEM, Original, Bacon.

Bacon's page is extremely hard on the eyes, even causing blurring at times (no offense man).


I honestly prefer the SP4WN+Dorjan page over all three. AEM's page is rather slow to load, but perhaps that could be corrected.

I'll say it again . ..this page is da best:).

I think this one is the best:

Also, bacon's looks terrible in IE6 due to PNG transparency issues... so that's 11% of people, statistically speaking (dont know the actual stats for this site)

I agree I think Space Junk's is the best. Simple and elegant with a video to boot.

Video on my page has been updated. Also if you haven't read my posts about my page here is some info about the embedded videos:

"I have a YouTube playlist embedded in my page and following the trailer will be additional videos which explain Allegiance in more detail. Most Likely I'd have a 3-5 minute vid following it which would probably walk a viewer through a typical game and show all elements of Allegiance with narration explaining what is going on. Obviously the whole game wouldn't be shown, but bits and pieces would. Also I'd have single videos on different aspects of the game such as commanding, etc. Others could use my vids as well of course though."

Personally I like Dorjan's new Bacon/SP4WN a lot better than the old Bacon page.

I think the old one is best mostly because it matches the theme of the rest of the forum and looks somewhat professionally done - the other two don't (sorry). Most of the deficiencies from Bacon's post can be fix by changing the text of the original page.
