The Word of Lowtax could use some House Liao websites.

It would be nice if there was sort of a central location to start from on the website. Could we perhaps make a large spot right at the top of HouseLiao.com that shows whom the leader of the house is?

All kidding aside, the new HouseLiao.com website is really just going to be an extension of this forum community. The point will be to provide easy TeamSpeak access, information resources and (oh joy!) more discussion forums. The intent is to build a platform for anyone playing as aligned to House Liao (whether a merc or a house unit) to coordinate with other folks in the metagame and share strategies for how to fail less spectacularly in robot combat.

This will probably involve links to other groups playing as part of the "house" (e.x. WoL forum) to ensure that everyone sporting the big green triangle is on the same page.

Hey guys -- I'm going to be working with Stalker and Metro on the upgrade, which will be substantial. I've designed and run a couple online gaming communities in the past with between 50-300 active members a day. Did a few drops in Beta the other night and this game is going to rock.

The new site will blow your minds. It will literally make all the other House sites look like they were designed by preschoolers. The site will be built on the ipb 3.3 forum software with the ipb content upgrade. The forum software functions very similarly to what's installed on this site -- except it will be a community designed exclusively for house Liao, its units, and its allies. We are still conceptualizing forum design, but the end goal is to create a central clearing house for all things and units House Liao, and to use the site as a coordinating base of operations.

In addition to the forums there will be a front page containing House news, House announcements, links to allies sites, Teamspeak server information, etc. I plan to build an arcade functionality into the site like it currently has, along with some other fun little modules. We may even implement a ranking structure based on the IS Liao ranks, but that would come after initial launch as it will take some time to put together.

The site will be designed to promote the clan's organizational and command structure, to whit certain forums will be available to you based on your rank within the house hierarchy. Heads of the House will be able to access the main command forums, unit leaders will have private sub-forums for their units, hell, we may even provide a special area for Merc units who regularly work closely with us.

I will be working closely with Metro to make sure that we get everybody where they need to be and because I'm a relative newcomer in these here parts compared to many of you.

If anybody has skillz on the graphic design side of life hit me up. I'd love for someone to create a modern and stylized version of the Liao logo for the site that will fit in with the theme I have in mind. Barring copyright issues, it could also be used as a logo on CafePress or other sites that let you brand mugs, t-shirts, etc.

You might want to contact Grafix, he knows a bit about graphics design.

The logo could be from Punakettu, thise is his modernised version of it, along with his Deviant Art page: link.
Or you could go with Ironhawks version, here: link (you must scroll down a bit).

P.S. Punakettu is also on this site, but his nick is TeslaCoil (C&C:RA) or something like that.
