After a week or two of down time, the Shining Source is back, and badder than ever.

Will take a while to get things back to normal, so cut us some slack.

I'll change the green buttons to something a little more...modern soon. I think we'll stick to green for now, though I might see how this place looks with the colours for the new site.

This places feels very old-school at the minute - where are Darkleaf and Elvenfire when you need them? :P

This place is already more popular than my messageboard, anyway :P

I'm not low enough to promote my website here :P Not until it's got a few more members, anyway...

And these are the people we need to be truly old school:

Saiyanora
Koshums
Elvenfyre
Fox Astron

And I suppose we could always throw in a Dev clone or two, just to liven things up :P

It's good to be back :)

Oh- you all heard about SF1 remake on GBA??!! - sounds wicked to me; looks like im going to have to go and buy a gameboy :D

Post by: Newts on March 15, 2004, 11:51:50 pm
Welcome back mate :)

The SFI remake looks quite cool, and I'll probably get it as I never had the original on the Mega Drive. Extra characters and stuff like that gets a thumbs-up in my book any day. Now they just need to sort out an original, proper SF-title, rather than another Shining Soul game [although SSII is supposed to be much improved].

By the way Nick, I downloaded the video of your project - it was very nice until it froze up about ten seconds in :P Apart from that, it looked impressive - what are the chances of Legends of Atlantis being fully 3D? ;)

hehe! who knows :P

oh - nice work on prosody by the way..

i'll get round to registering in the forums one day! :D

So.... is the shining-online.co.uk domain actually lost? surely it's owned by Ty and not the domain company? .. just seems odd that you'v had to splash out on a whole new domain :(

The domain is registered in my name, so I may try and get it back. The whole site is gone though, and there are 404s at the old hosting company so I don't think I'll ever see it again.

I thought it was about time the Shining Source got it's own identity, even if that meant digging into the old pockets again. Hopefully it will soon be joined by the new design. I'll try and get the forums to fit in with the new look as well, though to be honest I don't really care about it at the moment.

something happened to the host i think.. either they got burned down, hit by a bomb or someone closed the company and ran off with all the money :P

I had only just joined when you shut the old site down.  I think I had posted like once.  I left for a long while, came back, and found the Shining Source site was gone.

The new design is cool as it looks more neat but well... it reminds me somehow of some sonic page with the new logo and the blue design....probably its just the typical "the new home is just not like the old one" effect...  :D nevertheless I demand the "Forum" link to be renamed to "Ye Olde Blah" !

You can thank Edgey for the new, kick ass design. I think it's rather splendid looking.

Just the design was me though, the rest of the lovely new stuff is from Ty and looks most promising in my opinion, cant wait to see the final site with all the project pages and worklogs working in all thier glory! :)

I really liked the coloured taskbar (menubar?) of the former site though... Too bad it disappeared.

What do you have to do if you want to get a "profile" and have your homesite and project linked to from the Shining source?


Title: Back
Post by: Ty on May 09, 2004, 05:17:20 pm
Just wait a few weeks, and it'll all be done. I'm in the US at the moment, but I even brought my laptop with me so I could finish the site. That's either dedication or stupidity.

Looking good so far, and should be able to upload v1 of the site in a few weeks.
