I don't want to be an ass, but I don't think we need one more web resource. We have 3 now (except the minecraftforum.net) and all of them are on a half way or less to be a finished resource.
Official web site has last news and latest downloads. All devs have access to it. I will certainly update it when I'll have more free time.
Wikki needs a lot of work, but we can't get the person who made it, so the wiki is the first resource we should change.
This forum needs some work too. "MineColony Forums" on top and it's all? Let's add some graphics, colors... atmosphere of minecolony or minecraft...
P.S. complete noob on webdesign? Are you sure you wanted to make a web site? btw you can't distribute the mod without dev's permission on your web.
Sorry mate, nothing personal, was a hard day.

That was the issue with the official website (as far as I know it's official) was vastly out of date. Also I want to learn web design, so what better way of doing so than by doing a site for something i'm actually interested in.. I'm talking to Scott (I assume that is his name ) directly to get his approval for what I am doing, and he will of course have full editorial rights over the web site.. I'm not doing this trying to step on anything people are already doing.. It is more of a project for myself, and if people see it as useful/an improvement then great, and If I can get the content complete and accurate then all the better.. If not then at least I have learnt how to build a website... As for keeping it updated, well I have lots of boredom time at work, so no real issues there

It's a free board. There's not a hell of a lot of customization I can do. I can change the colors, and that's about it. I've been an admin of another proboards forum before (which is why I created the forum on proboards and not another host site) and did a lot of poking around back then.
Edit: As far as I know, Vlad has equal say for the mod as Scott does. You should be talking to all the (available) devs, and not just Scott.

There's a fair amount anyway; assuming nothing has changed since I edited this flashbangersunited.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=home you can get a good look out of a proboard from the options given (too bad that clan went inactive soon after)

Ok, I have started again Using WordPress now, a much cleaner layout (just need to bin the Blog type attributes so people cant post on an individual page..) Content and custom graphics will be coming, but do you guys like the style/readability better ?

The supply chest is just a normal chest block. We just put things into it.
The non-standard part is the item ID for the supply chest. But that item goes away as soon as you place it.

Added a Quick-Start Guide... By the way, if any of the Dev's and/or moderators of these boards want to help build the site/add content, I can give you the URL and log-in details for the WordPress admin site so you can make changes/add stuff I WILL do it all myself if needed, but my time is limited so the site will evolve over time rather than be Complete quickly !!

P.S. If you WANT... I can host the Forums and Probably the Wiki all under the one hosting. This way all the info is in one place, no adds, own domain name, full customisation and one place for people to visit for all information... (Website, Wiki, Forums) Obviously I need to finish the actual website before any of that would be considered, and I would of course give full admin/account access to both the sites themselves and the Hosting account to Vlad/Scott/Coconut plus whoever else needs it etc. (in case I get run over/sent to prison ...) so there would be no issues with me dissapearing and the site going stagnant
