Today the new streamlined Divergence-Online website went online, replacing the original as the first page you will see when traveling to Divergence-Online.com

Compared to the current portal, the new site has a lot less clutter, fewer links, and is hopefully much easier to navigate by individuals without computer science degrees.

The new site frontend also contains several new images and info never before seen by mortal eyes. These are just a taste of what we hope to unleash in the coming weeks to the public.

The site is considered a work in progress since there is still much data to be uploaded, and a few old links need to be updated. Once the transition is complete, the "forum" link will simply take one to the forums themselves and not to the existing portal page, although a user may still use the portal if they wish by simply clicking the "portal" link at the top of the screen.

No forum data has been modified or deleted. All of your old rants are still there rest assured.

In the future, we hope to integrate login, messaging, and account administration with the new website frontend, which is the reason for the two empty boxes in the top right. This functionality will require us however hire someone who is fluent in php, so thanks in advance for your patience in accomplishing this.

Also on the menu are those long-promised outdoors area images such as the small amount of exterior media one can view from the new website, however what we wish to show is much much more than that, and we are only waiting on an update to your engine which will dramatically redefine the way trees, grass, and fauna are created in Divergence, so it's better for now if we just give it the time it needs rather than post up a ton of stuff that will ultimately just be removed and replaced with new stuff.

As a note to Internet Explorer users, we regret to say that certain tables and images might appear disorted when using Internet Explorer as opposed to Firefox.

As a remedy to this situation, we recommend that anyone still using Internet Explorer uninstall it in it's entirety at their earliest convenience and instead install a proper browser, such as Firefox. This is due to the fact that Internet Explorer sucks, and we really don't want to spend the time to support it.

Thanks for your patience up until this point and we hope you enjoy the new content and site. You guys make it all worthwhile.
