    Original Front Page

    Does anyone remember the shiny flash animation with links to the Forums, IRC and Games and stuff?

    IDK if it went before the Website / Infosite went up, but I thought it was really cool... just as a portal to various RZ activities.

    Anyone still have a copy of that? Is it not possible to modify it a little to list the Website as well as the Forums, Games and IRC?

    IDK... I just really liked the shiny logo text, and miss it. Change is good, doesn't stop you missing the old days though, right?

    It got taken down like... a week ago, haha. I'm pretty sure it's copyrighted or owned by Jhewt so you can't use it.

    That was the replacement home page while the actual home page was in development.

    Define use please?

    Does use mean
    • look at it
    • include in releases RaGEZONE for RaGEZONE users only
    • stick up on some other website
    • decompile and create some alternative / derivative for other uses



    I would like to do the first, and might be interested to do the second to spruce up documentation crediting the RaGEZONE community in documentation included with releases... but wouldn't if it will cause legal or personal objection.

    The others all seem completely objectionable to me.

    If you like it so much, have you considered taking the time to learn how to make it yourself?

    LMAO... It's *art*. I could create something similar, but it that would either be a rip-off, or something completely different that just happens to do the same thing.

    It's the look I like. The lettering, mostly, that is still used in the sites mini Icon I believe. But on the old front page it was the full name, and on a dark background with electric blue sparks and bubbles... it just looked cool.

    In a couple of lines you can write up a redirect to a mobile friendly website.
