I was originally planning to make a big huge announcement with trumpets blaring... but instead I think maybe we'll start off with a small, tasteful link. There will be plenty of time for crass commercialism in the days to come!

So, here it is at long last, friends:

We're going to add new stuff daily. Please check it out, and enjoy!

Neat! Just 40 more dimes, and im in baby!

Very happy to see this go live! I think it will have a big impact on the BYOND community and I hope to contribute often.

Xooxer asked about how much of the subscription goes to Dantom, and I thought I should mention a couple of things about this project:

To my knowledge (though I may have details wrong), Dantom initiated the project and inducted Guy to kick it off, and Dantom insisted that there be a model that allowed contributors to get most of the money from subscriptions. They even went so far as to subsidize it by contributing a portion of book sales to the magazine!

They seem to have this silly idea that if everyone who contributes gets a piece of the pie, BYOND will flourish in the long-term. Hopefully we can prove them right...

Ooh! Ooh! I want, I want!

Yes, I'm a greedy scoungrel.
I think it'd be good to have a little scrolly bar for the frame on the left. Possibly blending in with the frame background?

Right now, I have to drag-select to reach different parts of the frame.

Well, I just felt like being nice. And plus what else would i use 'em for? Might as well give them to someone who has something to do with 'em.

I was going to bring that up. But you did. And I am glad you did, because I didn't know you could drag-select to scroll frames like that. O happy day!

I think he should just put the "home" and "email" links on the same line.

Also... what happened to the BEAUTIFUL cream background???

The sidebar supports scrolling. The sidebar has always supported scrolling. Okay, not always, but since about ten minutes ago. If it doesn't work now, let me know.


Also... what happened to the BEAUTIFUL cream background???

It was replaced by a funky orangeish background, and then the bland inside-joke background it has now (192, 192, 192). I will whip up a new beautiful cream background for it tonight!
WEll I sent out money to exchange for dimes yesterday Ill be sure to subscribe when they get through.

First off...I think it's a really cool idea...and I may subscribe myself (ok...so it's highly likely that I will...lol)

I think that the reason Dantom is taking that approach is that through this outlet (or should it be called an inlet?) more BYONDimes will start circulating through the system... More people will have a reason to open an account and more people will have a means/excuse of getting and using them...

So it's a shot to the economy of BYOND...
