The New JKDF2.net (OFFICAL SUGGESTION THREAD)

I agree. I can try and look up and contact other clans that haven't died yet for JK/MOTS. The profile page already established can be split into Clans, and a whole new stats page can be created.

Hmmm, i don't know of any other clans still alive (even on life support)

yeah good site good job
u guys want a medal ? =))

chekc my last clan at http://v-factor.net
its quiet original
anyway

thx for this platform

-good enough butter for u

Hmmm, i don't know of any other clans still alive (even on life support)

I've been searching as Community Relations person for the site, but I've found no active JK/MOTS Clans. We will make announcement on Massassi.net, but once a few days go by with nothing we will just start discussing the details more with the current clans (ORJ, JAS and JKLE.)

Here's my two cents

- Make the site meet HTML standards
- Build some kind of advanced administration panel for certain users(admins and mods)
- Expand to cover Dark Forces all the way through Jedi Academy
- Have daily special events
- Add all the files from JKHub & Massassi or do a real integration of file systems

I couldn't gain access to that link; actually, it can up as Japanese for some reason. Anyway, regarding 3.), we (myself, vallo, Andrew and others) have discussed this and we came to agree upon that eventually JKDF2.net will grow to encompass all series games, but for the new launch it will be JK &Mots. I, myself, am a strong advocate for expanding to cover the series.

Willing to help. 8)

Where the hell is the EAH subforum? Bastards.

If you're not Strict you're nothing.

if it was up to me it would be xhtml all the way... Drop the margin of error to almost nil - as you probably know the type forces obsolete tags to be omitted from the page, forces lowercase syntax, quotations, and the proper nesting of inline elements under block level... The possibilities are endless, not that it would be any different to regular traffic, but might be less of a headache to the authors of the site.

XHTML and CSS is an amazing combination... and compatibility between the two... they are like siblings, they work hand in hand. So i'm not sure what you mean.

HTML 4 will just bring old deprecated attributes that well, just isn't prepared to move forward with the future of web standards.

If using old attribs is the issue with the authors of this site, then maybe a shot at XHTML Transitional should be considered.

Again, i'm sure the visitors don't care about whether or not the page validates so it's just a matter of preference really.

Well you are the one concerned about the compatibility between xhtml and css... hence why I suggested transitional which still includes some deprecated attributes used in HTML 4.

But fyi, standards are being applied all over the web, "Web 2.0" - companies look for it, companies want it... you also have a point though, a lot of sites out there don't adhere to shit - but they also haven't changed their site in quite awhile.

If you do indeed plan on starting from scratch then go the Strict xhtml route. My suggestion - and obviously, we will have to agree to disagree on its reasoning even though it doesn't matter.

P.S - Opera is shit and I wouldn't bother with it's 2% market ownership. Especially for a site with such a small audience where the browser barely (and I mean barely.) comes into play.

Run google-analytics in the background and see if compatibility with a range of browsers is really necessary for a JK site.

The Zone had us all trained to use IE almost exclusively.

The three biggest browsers that I can think of on Windows are IE, FF, and Opera. I think Opera has come a long way since the days when it was a premium browser that was avoided like the plague.

I never meant to imply that XHTML and CSS are in any way incompataible. I merely meant to say that in HTML 4.01 transitional, there are a lot of tags and attributes that can be used that would be considered defunct in XHTML 1.1, and it could be a pain for someone to figure out what the equivelant CSS is if they haven't converted a site like that before.

That's nothing a little Google couldn't fix. 8)

I would prefer it actually - killing off the old attribs inline with the html page and replacing them with a standard one file link to all xhtml pages is a lot more convenient.

Font-Face on every html page can be annoying im sure, as opposed to font-family:verdana; on one css file for 40+ pages of JK hehe...

*Pops in to make a suggestion*

How about an IRC applet in the site, so new people could have more easy access to the #jk chat room?

*Pops out*

Yes, Gamesurge recommends PJIRC, but i guess you could use anyone you like
