its been a wile since TA.com has had a facelift (if ever 😉 ) and personally I think its time. web designers get out your blow tourches and give me templates! I will donate 4 weeks of crunching power off my main rig to a project of your choosing under your name for the cause.

This is now a TA.com sponsered contest.

 
Uh, not trying to dampen your enthusiasm here, but have you checked with Mika about that? :Q We approved that design by Team vote.
 
nope but I figure he will be with it 😉. and I know it was a voted design, this one will be too 😉
 
I would like to point out that this is my idea alone and not sponsered by the TA.com crew, nor the hobbitt crew, I am doing this soly to try to get the ball rolling and for my own interest to see the great creative tallent that this team has to offer.
 
Narzy,
Have you talked to ViRGE lately? Last I remember hearing from him that TA.com might be coming down unless they can find a new ISP. You better talk to him to see what the latest news is. Just thought I would throw that in there. Unless of course something has changed the last couple days.

find a new ISP? I'm sure someone on the TeAm owns an ISP or has connections... if not we could think of something else....
 
I know we where talking about it the other night on IRC. But I don't remember what the whole issue was with it getting too far from Mika since it is his box with some donated parts. 😀 Mika is a smart guy. I am sure something will be worked out. 😀

eather X mission, or I will personally pay to have it hosted with the store server. maybe even buy the team a new server, if sales are good. if I need to have it hosted, I would like it in a 1U case.
 
Wolfie, fortunately www.teamanandtech.com isn't being shutdown. Instead we simply have to move the server. Max downtime is maybe an hour or two while Mika moves the server to a new location. This will happen sometime next week. Today Core is going offline, but will be immediately replaced by my server.

What we were talking about last week was what to do for the future. The server will most likely move to a new hosting location (XMission) at some point. This whole process is very non critical in nature. If it happens in a month or two, that would be just fine. The current backup / failover plans are falling into place perfectly.

Brad..

Pun intended? 😀
 
It's about time the #1 OGR, #2 RC5, #3 ECCP, #11 SETI and #20 UD TeAm get's a stylin' webpage. Long time coming 🙂

Time to get Shop-Choppin'... It'll be beee-you-tee-full! 😀
 
I agree wholeheartedly since we have a link to it from AnandTech. I mentioned this back when the link was first installed, but I got the impression that Virge liked it the way it is. I don?t know that the format needs to change as much as the content.

Anyway, that?s my 2 cent worth.

BTW, nice gesture Narzy!
 
^bump^ for the web designers who have time to get something going
here.. Time to bring all out teams together and make a cool,
contemporary webpage that matches our caliber.
 
I agree with JWMiddleton, in my oppinion the look needs only minor tweeking but the content could use a large overhaul.
 
Brad,
Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't completly 100% sure so that's why I told Narzy to contact ViRGE. 😀 But that's for filling me, and the rest of us what is going on. 😀 We don't want anyone thinking we took it down for no reason either. 🙂

I can give 2 weeks off my poor little box just if the new design isn't b0rked in navigation. I browse the site regularly with lynx ;-)

 
Heya.

What OS is the server running on, and what web server (IIS, Apache)? Perl? PHP? Might be good to know so designers can have an idea of what they need to try to accomplish. Personally, I'd love a chance to do a PHP-Nuke style site! Of course, we'd have to give it some flair; every kid with web-design basics classes is putting up Nuke sites... 🙂
