Before I give the URL to the new site, I'd like to warn you of a few things.

Some of the cooler parts of the site are still under construction. Some of these are...

- "Rob and Dexter's Absolutely Nonbiast SLIDERS Episode Guide and Review Page"
- "SLIDERS Characters"
- "Chrono Trigger"
- "Chrono Cross"
- "TG's Game Reviews"

I think that's about it. It will probably be next week before those are completed, as MUCH work is still needed to be done. Right now, just enjoy our nice little news section, and PLEASE feel free to contribute to the fanart page. Try your hand at our fanfic contest. Most importantly, send the staff FEEDBACK, and enjoy yourselves.

Eventually, after we get the other pages working, we're going to add a new section to the main page, where you'll learn about the site in general, and will be able to take part in some interesting weekly polls.

And yes, we know that Geocities sucks. We're trying to relocate as fast as we can.

Oh, and the hit counter isn't working..

...for some reason. This morning it already had about 20 hits on it (from my going back and checking to see if everything was loading right). Now it's stuck at zero. Another reason I hate geocities.

Awesome, but a few little things.

The site looks great. The blue theme is... eerily soothing. Anyhow, there are a few problems.

First off, when I load this on MSIE 4, I keep getting some errors in the code. Second, I don't know if you know this or not, but the site has no real Netscape support.

And finally, one last nitpick that's not your fault. I saw that window-looking thing in the upper right corner and I thought to myself: "My God! GeoCities has actually succeeded in sucking more than it already did before!" I swear, GeoCities increases suckage by the day! ;-)

Anyhow, it looks great.

Thank you for pointing all of these out.

The error message is part of the "GeoCities sucks" deal. The best I can figure...that message comes up because there is a problem with loading up the GeoCities Spam window (which nobody wants anyway). This will be eliminated in the NEAR future, as I will be moving my website to my 10 MB that my local ISP has issued me (don't worry, the URL will remain the same).

There are three reasons why Crystal Blue doesn't support the Netscape Browser. The first is..to make Crystal Blue look and feel the way I wanted it, I had to choose an extreme..MSIE4 or Netscape. I went with MSIE4. The second reason is....MSIE4 is easier to work with when one is contructing a webpage via HTML coding in Notepad. When you view the source of a page in MSIE, it opens the code up in Notepad, where you can alter the code. Netscape doesn't allow you to fiddle with the code when you view the source..it just lets you SEE the code. The third reason is...I simply loathe Netscape; I can't stand to use it. That's why at the top of Crystal Blue there's a little message that says "This page is geared to be viewed with the MSIE.." Perhaps somewhere down the line, we'll get a staff member that will translate Crystal Blue into a Netscape-friendly format, but the entire, current staff agrees with me. Netscape sucks shit.

GeoCities sucks. Netscape sucks. For future reference...don't use them...either of them.

Glad you liked it! EVERYONE CONTRIBUTE TO THE FANART PAGE!!

This is great stuff! I especially like the scrolling marquee 'A love that can never be.....' And the vortex at the bottom of the page. You never cease to amaze me Captain.

I have a little favor to ask you. You know now that I am working on the finale script. Perhaps you could review an act that I send you and perhaps post some of it under the fanfic section? That would get me some publicity to start off with. Let me know on here or email me at mpk42@hotmail.com.
