I don’t know if people saw my other thread, but my hard drive crashed. One of the minor repercussions is that most of my recent work on the site has been lost. My goal had been to unveil a nearly complete site sometime in February. I don’t know when I’ll finish it now.

At any rate, I’d like to show you what I had so far. The permanent home will be www.uofmuscle.com.

But the temporary home is here.

As I’m basically starting over, I’d love to hear any feedback before I do it.

And another thank you to Nate for the logo design. :)

Veers, the site looks great! Personally, I prefer the size and color scheme of the "temp" site. As I said earlier, the whole "university" theme is very fun and has a lot of potential that I'm sure you'll do an excellent job of tapping into.

Sorry to hear that you lost your info and pics of your child. If you haven't already, you might consider taking the hard drive for a thorough evaluation by a technician.

Looks great Chad! I like the concept, it is unique and has a lot of potential. Looking forward too seeing how it develops. I am sure you will do a great job putting it together.

Sorry to hear about your lost data too. I know what you mean about backing up your data, I just finished a video slideshow project in Adobe Premiere for my grandma's 80th birthday. I knew the potential of losing data was there because of the size of the files and all the pics I used. Anything can happen when processing that much data, so I was backing up he project on different drives and at various times throughout the projects progress. I have seen too many times people lose a ton of work and data because they forget to back it up or something goes horribly wrong. Definitely something to consider when a lot of pictures or valuable data is stored in a single place.

Dude, the site is sweet. I love how creative the MUSCLE fan sites get. Can't wait to see what pops up next.

I think, the next step would be to do a MUSCLE database. Like a Wiki page for MUSCLEs. If anyone is interested in working on it, I wouldn't mind being part of the creation process.

Dude, that sucks about the crash and picture loss, I am sure those pics were important. I am glad you got hard copies. I had a similar problem after my last deployment to SE Asia I had 8 gigs of pics and videos from the deployment on a thumb drive and it fried on me. Kind of sucked, but luckily I had most on my work PC and had sent many home already so I didnt lose much. Then right after I got home, my PC semi crashed and I had to use the recovery disk which wiped everything on my desktop and stuff, but thank bejeezus my pics folder was still intact, years and years of memories I almost lost, so that immediately promted me to go buy a 200 gig external hard drive to back up all my pics and files. I do that almost monthly now.

About your site, I like it. I am curious where you are going to take it. Looks like a real university hahaha. Its gonna be like that movie where all the kids went there when they did not get accepted elsewhere, cant think of it. Are you keeping the old site? I liked that one too.

Thanks everyone! Again, I apologize for there not being more.

While I’m not looking forward to recreating some of the stuff, I’m very anxious to create the university’s archives. My plan is to take very nice pictures of each figure in every color I own (which is quite a few of them). I think it will be nice to see one picture featuring a certain figure in every color ever made (in most cases).

Speaking of the picture, does anyone have any suggestions for setting up a table-top photo studio? I’ve seen things on-line starting at $150, and I’d like to avoid those costs.

And midge, you’re already on double-secret-probation. :rolleyes:

Oh, one more thing. I’d be interested in anyone that would like to contribute. I’m not sure what I’m looking for right now, but let me know if you have any ideas. One thing I am looking for is articulate, well written, and well thought-out Super Rare theories. My plan would be to make any theory that meets that criterion available from the site, as mentioned here: http://web.mac.com/c...osophy_200.html

"I have 2 questions" *after acknowledged while hand is raised* "Did you think that the lost data has been able to be replaced with the same content, or were there just some great information that is lost forever?" and "How is the figure photoshoot taking place, is this still a goal for the UofM to get a student ID of each figure?" :D

The pictures of the baby. Yes, those were lost forever. That was something I am unable to recreate.

But let's keep the discussion in the current thread.
