New GWJ Site Launching Tonight!

Section: 

We've arrived at the ah-screw-it-let's-just-launch point of web design. Tonight we'll be migrating over to the new GWJ site design which means there will be a bit of downtime during the day as we make backups and again when we switch over. Will it be smooth? Maybe. Will there be a thousand things we decide to change after the fact? Probably.

Our focus for the beginning of the new site has been making sure features we currently have make it over and we're running on the latest Drupal (we're way behind on the current site) so we have a strong base to build off in the future.

Lots more to come including special sections for stuff like Graham Rowat readings and podcast spoiler sections. Stay tuned!

Change is scary.

Here's hoping there's no major issues in the transition.

Someone has told Legion, I presume?

Can I sign up for notification when the new site comes up so I can be the first one to make a Darksiders joke?

Traditions are important.

No! And that's the best part!

For those about to ship, we salute you!

Break a leg doogie and team

Hold on to your butts....

Awww yeah!

Yay! Can this now be the crazy ship thread?

We can just kill this thread with GIFs to make everyone feel better about moving to the new site.

The GWJ Funding Bill is passed. The new web site goes on-line June 20, 2015. Human decisions are removed from moderation. Stan begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, June 21. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Most importantly, will it Crysis!?

I just got used to the last new design!

Memories!

Exciting. Hope everybody likes it!

I've changed my mind, we're going back to Postnuke.

Legion is why we can't have nice things.

I'm imaging this switchover involving mad scientists and their hunchbacked minions throwing some large switches during a lightning storm.

Just as long as it goes better than a first time KSP launch.

Accurate.

My body is ready.

Crush the old design. See it driven from you. Hear the lamentations of your Legion.

I hope there's a long flash intro. Ooo, and with sound that plays automatically and can't be muted!
