GingerAdonis Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 The forums have been moved from openrct2.com/forums to openrct2.org/forums. OpenRCT2.org will most likely become the official website and forums. A new website will be developed as well. - JarnoVgr
Broxzier Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I hope this is the final jump then The homepage still redirects to the .com domain, is this intended?

Yes. It'll be like that until the new site has been finished. Which'll take a while. 11 hours ago, Derf said: Will it eventually have the same layout? What are you referring to?

The original .net site didn't look that great in my opinion. Some people really love the retro RCT look. It does fit in some situations in my opinion, but now for a whole website.

It really sets the site apart from other boring forums and was the first thing I was impressed with when I first came to the site upon hearing about it. To each his own though. 1
Broxzier Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I agree with Derf. This new forum is lacking the RCT2 elements. While I wasn't a big fan of how the menus appeared on the .net website, I think doing simple things like changing the header/footer and background would do a lot already. I hope the forum's software is built flexible enough to allow such changes without it breaking with updates. 1
RuneLaenen Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I agree that the website could use some small elements, but not in the degree .net used them. Also, I've experimented with the grass-background and it's always ugly in my opinion It only fits in the game itself
Broxzier Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Having a screenshot of a park as background, and stretching it to fit the full view could work. Many Wikia pages do similar things. As long as it isn't too much of an eye catcher of course
IntelOrca Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Have a look at this website: http://www.soniczone0.com/misc/about.php Instead of mimicking the graphics exactly as they look in the game, you can abstract it to more simple flat colours for use on the website. You could for example take a screenshot of the game and try using adding some filters on it and transparency to get something similar to the website above or create your own SVG art.
