A Better Landing Page

[Popey456963 17]

Recently, upon visiting http://www.outbreak-community.com, I have been met with a landing page.  Whilst this was all fine to start off with, it soon got tiresome.  I've tried to improve the page (adding some JavaScript, setting the title to not be the default) to sort this out.  Once you press the proceed button once, it'll never keep you on the page again unless you add ?ignore=1 to the URL.  You can see the website in action:

Or download it from:

Interested to see what your opinions are going to be.

Fry your computer?  What would I ever gain from that :3

I would just make your computer a slave and then make it mine bitcoins all day :).

Popey. What have i told you about using others machines for your own good.

I quite like this front page but this and the current one seem a little "out of bland" (if you get what I mean ^.^)

We could do with something that shows what OB is on the front page, not just a "splash page". THUK have something like this to show what the community is, but we could come up with something 100x better than that.

Good work however :D

My general purpose of this is not to make it look better.  Alas, I do not have the content to populate such a page to be useful.  It simply tries to ease the strain of clicking a button each time.

Just connect to http://www.outbreak-community.com/forums No landing page.

However, when I type "out" into my omnibar, it defaults to outbreak-community.com, and typing /forums would probably take longer than clicking a single button.  If people don't want it, we don't have to use it though :3.

Ahh when I type "out" it auto completes http://www.outbreak-community.com/forums

I guess that 90% of my visits to this website were before the new landing page were added in, which resulted in only older members being affected.  I guess I see the issue =)

You can just delete that specific url from your auto-fill and it'll then autodirect you to new forums.

True, but wouldn't an automatic system be superior?
