Seeing as this can probably be turned into a blessing rather than a curse, lets try it, okay.Let's get rid of the empty servers, FortWars, TTT, Morbus, SpaceBuild and HaloCE. Who REALLY plays them at the moment? The only gamemodes that I see actually played are OCRP, HL2RP, Outlands and HRP. Start redoing stuff up (obviously) lets remake CG's design and improve on what it looks like, lets make it attractive to new players and begin a total clean up (Yeah this might sound drastic but it doesn't have to be instantaneous, cleaning up the website and turning it into something cleaner and less 2010-ish would be great).Hell, if you want I will redo EVERY piece of Graphics on this whole website and will redesign the website as well, you might be thinking, well Sabotage you have absolutely no design to show us what you can do... are you sure?*Copy the link and paste it to see it, this thing is huge*http://i.imgur.com/qILNL.jpgWelcome to my design, I've been spending a few weeks developing a new version of CG's website, consider this a template, anything else can be added, this is where you come in. I'm going to need people to nibble on this design so much that by the time I've edited all this up it will look absolutely gorgeous. Only three people knew about this design. Wake, Venatio and Cobs; this is just to keep it private and make sure we didn't get people's hopes up, I have been given greenlight by Venatio and Cobs that this design looks decent but now it's your time to start eating it to pieces.I'm here to answer any questions and I'm willing to do anything to help, this helps me in the end as I can use some of this in my coursework at college so

The current CG layout and logo appear in various different places across our servers, so it could be a handful.Also, CG was originally set out to have a red/black/white look to it. Not sure Rofl would enjoy switching to all gray.

Not sure Rofl would enjoy switching to all gray.I'd imagine all of you are getting tired of hearing me say this, but Rofl's opinion shouldn't dictate every decision. I don't mean this offensively, but most attempts to make any minor changes here are futile because of sole opposition from Rofl.As for Sab's design, I think it's pretty cool, although it looks a little cluttered. Definitely a good concept though.
I did say this was a template, the best thing to do is just start by giving feedback for improvisation, the fact that the logo itself is bland without gradient is because it is a placeholder and you should've considered that yourself, vizioN. Not only that I didn't in no way say this was neat at all, a lot of it needs lining up properly, boxing properly and then spreading out to the appropriate sizes, we can work on colour when I get the design's layout sorted and begin testing.

I don't mean to be offensive but I'm really not a huge fan of that template at all. The current one is perfectly fine, and compared to other gaming communities, looks great. Why fix that which isn't broken?
Rofl mentioned to me OCRP should be up today (Tuesday), so looking forward to that.
