When calc.org was looking like it was going down for awile, me and Hiryu decided that we were going to merge both of our sites into one large site, and merge our development officially into one programming group instead of two separate groups like we have done in the past.

Since then, calc.org went down as well as both of our sites disappeared, (I should say technically disappeared. I guess they talk about water guns now, which ironicially is something else I used to be interested in) but after month's of being off the net, we're back with our new site and our new domain name.

The new site can be found at http://www.bluecrimson.com At this point it's still a work in progress, but I think it's relatively stable enough to allow people to register and post on the site, since this time instead of using static pages, we decided to go with a more dynamic portal approach so we and update more frequently and have better community interaction.

The old sites are going to be archived, and the new site will eventually take over for them as we slowly get up to speed, fix forum bugs and get the site looking the way we want it to look.

At this point in time, I'm looking for more members to stress test the board so we can work out issues with the new forum we're using as our main site. In particular, login issues, posting issues and the chat room system need extensive testing and debugging.

YAY nice to see it back up! I hope the programs will be readded soon

Will you change the skin CSS to be crimson color/blue ish btw? for some reasons i think calc.org project will fail again, it has been like this for years

Also I was wondering if we could affiliate when you will have an affiliate button? I remember you had an affiliate bar on the old site and i have an (ugly) Omnimaga button lying around somewhere

Also i wonder if you realised that some of the staff on this forum were probably not even born when you started calc programming? O_O

Nice, I will pass the new info on to TI-Freakware's link manager, see about getting you put back in the links section.

Color wise, currently we are using the eblah default skin, which so far works pretty good since it is somewhat blue colored. There is an actual bluecrimson color, but it's really dark bluish purple, which would be too dark I believe. it may change down the line. If anything gets aded in the short term however, it would be a title banner.

As it stands right now, the link banner from my old site will probably not make an appearance since it was pretty much sites that most people know about by now (ticalc.org, calc.org ETC). The E-blah portal is something totally new for the forum, and mods have been slow so far. There could be an affilates portal module coming soon, since most portals have something like that. Right now, i'm polling the e-balh module forum to see if anyone's got something like that for the portal, but it looks like I may have to relearn perl at some point.

Currently, the Ti-basic webring is there. I'm also thinking about joining it to the other Ti rings as well down the line, and I'm thinking of adding a links board to the forum soon.

last night, I joined bluecrimson to three other webrings.

Apparently, the new webring code only shows one on the site and lets you click on a link to see the other webrings. That, and now they limit you to 5 webrings now.
