Needs to be back on, for the sake of bringing in new blood.
I remember there being a reason why we didn't, but I don't remember what it was.
No one wants to join a forum that they can't see anything about.

We disabled it to cut down google crawler traffic and reduce CPU usage as it was causing the hosting service to suspend the CDBZ account.

@Vad: Dayuhm.
We need to figure out some sort of work-around, then. Something to make it visible and known that we are, indeed, roleplaying and active, and to indicate the sort of roleplaying that we do here.

I was talking with another staff member and the idea of a basic webpage came up. Something that looks professional that, at the beginning, just has a nice looking banner and a "What we do here" statement. Then a link sending them to the forums.

Maybe a few RP samples and stuff with a tab for the rules?

At least something more than what we have.
Right now, it's just one of those "Look at what we could have!" kind of deals.

I'm going to alter this to fit our needs as best I can.
Thoughts?

I'm always down for high-level solutions for fast growing business.

Droll, very droll.

I think like, a forum mirror with an intro, some writing samples and the rules would be cool

Keep the Latin, ditch the smiling pseudo-minorities.
(Seriously, I've no idea what I'm looking at with that site.)

My favorite part is the dance party you can have with the buttons.

It's a stock template I purchased over a year ago. I need to edit it and I am aware it needs radical changes, but I figured it was the best starting place I had.

Lol I know. I forgot to do my "xD" to your comment.

I'm an idiot. I don't need to use the flash version thus it will result in an easier time editing. =D
