T21 is dead. Long live T21

With some sadness we hereby announce that the T21 v1.0 era (5th March 2002 - 3rd September 2005) is coming to an end. Version 1.0 of T21 has tonight been replaced with version 2.0. After 3 and half years of loyal service we are abandoning our old working horse and replacing it with a new one. After almost 2 years of development tonight we finally arrived at version 2.0.

Although we originally planned an updated T21 based on the version 1.0 framework by the time we got this version 1.5 going The Noid announced that version 2.0 of the framework was ready for template development and version 1.5 quickly got abandoned and the party started all over again. This meant that version 1.5 never saw the daylight but just for once weâ€™ll give you all a sneak peek at what could have been:

Hereby I would like to thank everyone who made T21 v1.0 possible, and yes that does also include you

For all you stat buffs we dived up some T21 v1.0 statistics:

Whistler "I wonder wonder why the wonder falls. I wonder why the wonder falls on me. I wonder wonder why the wonder falls, with everything I touch and hear and see."

Yes, it all looks very swish and well done to the techies for what they've accomplished.

However, to use an analogy, renovating and redecorating a pub is all well and good. But you still need something to pull the punters in.

And I still can't see anything that is going to pull new members in. And keep them here. It's still the usual crowd of people, most of whom socialise on journals or in real life.

Sorry, just being honest

Stoo There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Well, aren't you Mr. Positive

TBH it's just as much down to the members as staff to generate new content on a discussion site, so get to it!

The_Host The concept of 'All-You-Can-Eat' buffets has always appealed to me.

I like having the topic links along the top.
