Ok, I stand corrected. It was just a suggestion, you dont need to use it, but I still think the title banner could be better. Although if the content is nice then I will be happy. ;D

We didn't even force the name on them. I originally said we'd buy the domain-name www.rpg-palace.com for them, but after speaking with my superiors I was informed to only give free domains for those bearing the "source" name (much like GameSpy hosted sites bearing the "planet" name). For which I apologised and modified my offer. RPG-Palace were given the choice of a free domain, increased space and bandwidth and the ability to host other RPG related sites at the expense of a name change. Or reduced space and bandwidth without the ability to host other RPG sites with the domain name "rpgpalace.gamingsource.co.uk" or similar. Which would you have chosen?

I think they made the right choice. It doesnt matter what the name is, just that it provides good resources and looks good.

Right, this is a post done jointly by Fredbez and I. The new layout of the new Palace or should I say "Source" is not up to the high standards of the old palace. For one, both Fred and I beleive that NunoLac, probably, no, definatly the most skilled with imagery should have been selected to do the layout and you know what? Nuno even offered to do the layout but was rebuked, and now the Palace has been left with a really cheap layout and the Layout Nuno was going to do has went to www.fubargaming.com, and if you check out Fubar Gaming you will clearly see that the layout is 100 times better. Does anyone notice that the town, the faithful users of the Palace, the people who have made it big, where not informed of the sudden change of the palace name? And now we're left with "RPG Source" Who knows, maybe they've changed the name of the RPG Town! And about the RPG Town, although we (Frebez and I) are all for the new town, a poll was never set up to see if a majority of the town would like to move DESPITE the requests. So many things have changed, times change, I know, but I do beleive we have been sold out. Simple things can make the Palace become another Geocities site. We have listed a few. I hope that Mpaul and PaulC will considor these things and bring back the Palace, bring back the sweet layouts and then maybe, just maybe, the new Palace will be so much better that the old palace. We hope we have made our point. (Id like to add as a side note that we are in no way against the move to GamingWorld)

Well, i really don't like that much the layout either But that should be a decision of the main Webmasters, if they like it then i have nothing to say against it. It's true that i have decided to make an layout for town even knowing that they could reject it...but the worst was that they didn't answer me. They didn't say if they like or not I've posted an screen of the layout in the official topic and I’ve send an email to MPaul and he never answer me, that was why I’ve decided to give the layout to Fubar Gaming...and I’ve done That webmaster happy ^_^, that's the most important, right? Oh and about the name...well, changing name wont change the potential of a site, but it will change the story of the site...for good or for bad moments Well, that's all what i have to say. Still i think that a good layout and good stuff can make a great site, while a good layout with bad stuff and a Bad Layout with good stuff only can make a medium site.

The layout is lacking something..... I know! How about... A different color?

That was what i wanted to do, by changing the colours in the FG layout.
Anyway...i don't really thinkt that new colours would help that much.

Here's my two cents worth, I do't mind the text links but the category text is just horrible, I suggest you change it. I won't mention any broken links or other linking problems because the sites not ready. Well that's my 2 cents worth. Enjoy ;D Oh and BTW that pic of the isn't that great I suggest you change it.

For me, that is not RPG Palace. Perhaps, giving it to MPaul and PaulC was a bad idea?

The sad thing is at the rate things are going...most of the older townies won't be around much longer to ensure that the Palace, now the Source, stays true to what it once was.

I dont think giving it to the Pauls was a bad idea its just the changes. The change that annoys me the most was the name change. I mean now its like a completly different site. There is nothing there that resmbles the old Palace.
