DXM.com and SS2.com closing, and CitadelStation.com opening in their place

A new look and keeping the archives sounds best. I agree with Muzman and Elenkis, though, grouping two things together can be rather annoying if nothing else, so that if someone wanted a site about one thing but not the other, they'll have to search through the entire site.

But from a Thiefy point of view, I'd say as long as the circle stays and has all the archives, renovated or not, that's satisfying enough. :)

Moving forward and keeping the old memories sounds good:thumb: . Or however it went:sweat: .

I don't want another exhibition of lameness like (http://thief-thecircle.com/teg/). Countless links were pointing to the resources there, and they are all broken now, a minor disaster that did not need to happen at all. Search engines and caches just fucking don't understand <q cite="http://thief-thecircle.com/teg/">UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS</q>. The situation is even more precarious with the vast amount of material on sshock2.com and deusex-machina.com.

Well, I've never even heard of these 2 sites. I just went to both of them.

SS2.com is up for lease. And Dxm.com just didn't work (the flash that is).

I've voted to can them both (I have no idea what was there or was suppose to be there). Pool resources and efforts.

SShock2.com has already opened up to include more general Sci-fi oriented material. Is this something that can't be integrated into there?

Umm... he was talking about Sshock2.com and DeusEx-Machina.com, you know.

Oh. I did not know that. Dxm.com worked so....

Why not just create new sections under TTLG?

Why move 'em at all? Unless there's a really compelling financial reason to combine them, I'd say leave them as is. DX2 will dominate the new site, and whatever small SS2 mod community there is might be trampled.

Plus, I don't understand the new proposed name. What's a Citadel Station? Can I buy one? Is it pretty? I believe that in this world, anything that I don't immediately understand must be stoopid. :)

{Edit} Muzman made a really good point. Other than having a sci-fi theme, what do these two games have to do with each other? Should be put TheCircle and Morrowind.TTLG.com together cause you can be a Thief in both games? I'm not sure what the motivation is here. {/Edit}
