    As a former fan of this mod im sad to see it fall apart. Developers leave and the homepage have no updates. You may say "look in the forum". But my point is that a new visitor whos interested in this mod goes to the homepage, take a fast look and see what?

    1. No updates in months
    2. False information (Like that the game includes aircrafts etc)
    3. No link to the blog that youve published (a step in the right direction)

    I suggest that you either update the webpage regulary or bury it and redirect the url to the blog. Why? Because the mod will only survive if it attracts new people that will play and help develop it. And you will not attract a lot of new players / developers with the homepage as it looks now.

    With a cms like joomla, drupal or wordpress (or movable type as the blog) it wouldnt be that hard to keep the homepage updated.

    Devs leave and come back, we somehow have a steady supply of coding devs. Empires is not falling apart only that website would need an update, but it does need one since a long long time.

    The website is rarely updated because it's a total 100% bitch to update. We are working on it.

    damn empires has atleast 40 players in the servers on a good day, but can't update the site, and eternal silence which has like 20 empty servers and 1 server with like 18 people updates their site like every 2 weeks. That doesn't even make sense for it to be possible. Maybe the devs should choose someone who's life is dedicated to empires to update the website, or simply change it around(someone with an artistic talent)

    Unless if you were being sarcastic, which I can't tell by the tone of your tippidy taps, but iunno, I am not an artist-ic person.

    Game development would be nice to post on the website, even though the games development has almost stopped, we could post things like community scripts, maps, gui's, models, and other stuff such as events(though the events would be less amazing to show unless the empires playerbase wants to actually take part in events).

    Concept art is made around every 2 weeks or so, well not much anymore, and maps/ updating maps come out every 2-3 months.

    But it would be really bad to turn the website into a blog, people like things brief.

    Now we just need someone with rights to the website.
