Sorry it's been so long without an update for you guys on the site's situation. For those of you who're still here, I'll explain what's going on. As most of you probably know by now, gamersuplink is closing all of its free-hosted web pages, meaning the Palace had to find a new host. We recieved an extremely generous offer from Gaming Source, including among other things our own domain name, ability to host forums, near-unlimited storage space and bandwith, personal email accounts - and a reduction of advertisements to the bare minimum of one pop-under every 24 hours. Basically, what they asked in return was that we change the name of the site - they weren't crazy about Palace - to the RPG Source, and we agreed. The new site is located at rpg-source.com which currently only has a filler front page giving an early look at the new layout. We will be slowly filling in and tweaking the site as time permits over the next two weeks. We estimate the site will be complete and running smoothly by the middle of this month, with new InvisionBB forums and much new content. Thanks for your patience. Oh, and if you have any suggestions/comments/scathing flames regarding the preview of the layout, go ahead and post them here.

That sounds good!
I just wish it was still 'RPG Palace'. Oh well. You can't have everything. Anyways, good luck with the new host and the new Invision Boards! ;D
EDIT: The page looks fine right now, I guess.

Oh and.. I think Negative Zero would like to affiliate with the "source", but i'll just e-mail you guys if NZ can..

Well, think of the re-naming as business. Nothing can become something great without some sacrifice. (Though RPG Palace was still pretty good.)

The name change is refreshing, I think, as well as the new layout. Good luck on getting everything sorted. If I (or anybody else ), free-time permitting can help, I'll try my best.

The left-hand column with the links look quite plain. But other than that the new layout looks great. And thanks for giving us a rough date for the new forums.

Looks a lot more clear than the original design IMHO, and I look forward to RPGSource developing in the future.

I think it doesnt look so "epic" with the new layout but I guess I could get used to it.

I'll help with resources. I don't get anywhere with my Consummation resources, could use those... I love to make battle animations and charsets.

I actually think that this might aswell be a completly different site with absolutly nothing to do with the palace. No Kamau, No Nuno Banner, Different Name etc. But all great things do come to an end.

Sorry but to be blunt I hate it. No offence but the Palace looked skillful somehow. This looks like a geocities site. I'm setting up myself up for abuse aren't I. d**n.
