Over the weekend Thom mentioned to me that the artemis.eochu.com website had crashed. He took the opportunity to update it in a new form. I hope you like it. In all the photos that appear on the home page there is a small image of me! I'm the guy defending the galaxy in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. It was taken a couple of summers ago on the Project Draco bridge. I didn't know this photo existed!

It's nice. There are some formatting problems (maybe it's just my browser) but I think it looks better than the old site. Kudos to Thom for getting it back up so fast.

Hey, it isn't 2003 anymore! (That is my sarcastic way of saying that I like the new website design a lot more than the old one. )

I do have one issue with the new website. The old site had the video right on the front page of people playing the game on a custom bridge. It was VERY cool and watching that was a real selling point. I've met some folks to whom I'm going to recommend the game and, frankly, the new home page just doesn't have that kind of "oomph".
Does anyone have the link to that video so I can send that to my friends instead of the, frankly rather dry new home page?

Great! Thanks guys!
But as a side note, I DO think that front/home page should be jazzed up a LOT. It's the first thing people see and if it's not an attention grabber, they may just browse away.

I found some broken links on the new website. https://artemisspaceshipbridge.com/info/resources has a dead link to ArtemisSBSPressResource.zip. And while the poster links work, the thumbnails don't.
