I have spent the last week redesigning the Masquerade website. My intention is to bring the Masquerade’s presence on the web up to modern standards. To accomplish this I added a feature oriented front page that highlights the strengths of the board, a sub-section detailing where to connect, the preferred terminal client, and web based connectivity options. In addition, the website now sports a proper blog, along with social networking integration with Twitter and Facebook. Finally, contact information is much more prominently displayed on the front page, and on its own dedicated page.
This new website has not supplanted existing functionality. Email, message areas, and file areas are still accessible, albeit n0t as well integrated as I would like. I hope to have these features more integrated in the future. Speaking of future plans, I would also like to include the BBS Scene’s wonderful “global oneliners” as well as the Masquerade’s own oneliners, last callers, and user list. Alas, that is a project for another day.
In any event, I hope the new website will make the Masquerade more attractive and accessible to new callers as well as our old friends. Follow us on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, call the board, and above all, please feel free to contact me with and questions, comments, or suggestions you may have regarding the website or the BBS.
Thanks for calling!
