MechSociety

The name MechScape.co.cc was frankly a bit corny, so we put on our creative suits (consisting of a Ronald Mc Donald style face mask), and came up with a list of Mech-y names. One of those, MechSociety, which was #2 on the list of 15, was chosen by various unknowing voters. So, without further ado….

Most of us here feel this change is long overdue, and we can finally concentrate on our initial goal, world peace.

Also: you may still access most of the site (excluding the forum) from the old domain, mechscape.co.cc. It is, however, suggested you update your bookmarks.

Yes! It’s the update that only two of you have been waiting for; a redesigned MechScape.co.cc! Please contain your excitement. Those of you that are visiting for the first time won’t care about this at all, but on the contrary, those of you that have been with us for awhile may think it’s Christmas in July.

For those who care, here are some of the notable changes:

• More compact menu
• Main page content is closer to the top of the screen
• Page width is fixed at 930 pixels
• Everything is cleaner and more compact
• The new colour scheme, brown
• New header image

Suggestions are more welcome than ever in this forum.

Along with the site rework, I’m also going to be creating skins for the DevBlog and the Forum.

Random Factoid: In case anyone was wondering, this is the song that I was playing on repeat as I was coding.

Hello my minions. It is now time for the annual ritual where we as a cult celebrate the things we have, including new updates to the site… or network I should say.

As one of your fearless leaders, I’m pleased to announce that puppy dogs and rainbow-coloured ponies are now considered non-edible. Also, on a related note, we’ve added a site to our web of MechScape. This site is basically Wikipedia, only entirely for MechScape. Think of it as a knowledge pool of information filled to the brim with MechScape, that you’re free to swim in as you please, so long as you slip the lifeguard on duty a twenty dollar American bill. Actually, that’s not necessary with us… because we also take Euros.

Make sure to visit the Wiki here, and login at the top right with the same username and password that you use for the forum and chat here. Depending on your forum rank, you’ll be able to edit pages and create new ones. An example of a page can be found here.

If that wasn’t enough to make you get that special feeling in the pit of your liver, hold on to your seat, because you’re about to have a massive special-attack.

Josh has secured the domain MechScapeClan.com, and we’re planing to use it the right way and make it a MechScape (and possibly RuneScape too) clan. As I look onto the notes about the site that I have profusely scribbled over a Dairy Queen napkin, I can see that we plan to integrate it with MechScape.co.cc. That of course means that once you register here, you not only have access to this site, but also to the Wiki and Clan (if you so choose).

No, no, we’re not done there! Some of you might remember the ever so silent project concerning MechVideos.com. Well, I do, and I must say it’s truly exciting news to hear that it’s finally going to get a face lift and the ability to host and serve videos to you. Once again, you get another perk to registering to this site, and that’s the ability to upload, rate, and comment on videos on MechVideos.com! EPIC.

Last, and most least, the MechScape.co.cc site has gotten a minor facelift. No biggie, I just tweaked the navigation and the right sidebar to make things more streamlined and easy to find. Also, I added a search engine that will scour the vast wasteland that is the network of sites that I now dub, The MechScape Network, for the things you tell it to.

Cheers!

Hello, my name is Samantha, or YaLoooooooon as you might know me on YouTube.  I’ll be moderating some of this wonderful site that we’re working on :).  You may contact me on aim or yahoo instant messenger if you have any questions about the site (that hopefully I can answer :D.)

I finally got around to making a video about MechScape.co.cc. Though it’s not as nice as I would like, it gets the job done (I hope). In the coming months as the site matures and the design gets better, I might make some more.

So, anyway, here’s the video…

Where have I been recently; what have I been doing? This! (actually, I do other things aswell, but they’re surely not as interesting)

As always, the video is fast paced, so you may need to watch it twice if you want to squeeze all the information out of it.

Hello,

My name is seb, and I’ll be doing two main things here, on Mechscape.co.cc.  I’m responsible for a part of the research, and content writing.

Ryan said to me:

This project will be a huge learning curve for you.

And already this has been.  This project gives me the opportunity to get better at researching on one certain topic, and then create diagrams of the research to keep everything organized.  I would like to thank Ryan for this opportunity to work with him.

If you would like to contact me, or know more about me, I am active on the forums, so you can Post Message me there.
