Right, Okay

Rage turns two today.

I got tired of the old design, and of almost all of the old content, so I trashed it. Rage is now simple and fast, and about 80% lighter than yesterday. I got rid of the first 150 entries, as they were useless and terrible, and I'm starting fresh.

The new "design" is done completely in CSS (no tables), so of course there are little problems here and there. For instance, if there's only one or two entries on a page, you might notice the sidebar hanging off the bottom. I know about this problem, and I'm hoping to find a fix soon.

Also, this layout was designed with only two browsers in mind: Internet Explorer 6 (PC) and Chimera (OSX). Respectively, each is the best browser for it's operating system, and therefore I say fuck-all to the rest of them (although anyone using Mozilla 5+ will see it just fine too). Get one of these two browsers. They are both free. I don't want to hear complaints. Oh, and Mac users—if you're using IE5 and visiting, this site won't be all that pretty. Don't use IE5.

So, then... that's that. Content is down to almost nothing, design is overly simple, and I will no longer be using my own CMS for this site. It's now powered by Movable Type. It's a great system, and makes my life easier. Also, due to that, I will no longer be using the forums for entry comments. Simply click the "Comments" link after each entry. Simple. The forums will stick around for a while just for random chit-chat.
