New website... and Skale v0.81!
Hello ppl!
It's been a while since something happened to the site.
As you can see, a new layout and design has been made, though it's not finished yet, since there are still empty menu blocks at the top and it will probably change a lot again. :)
The site was meant to go live when Skale Tracker v0.81 was released, xmas last year, but because of hardware failure on the dev webserver and being very busy with work and all, this slipped to... well... today.
It seems the news at the forum didn't get the attention it should have and because of the outdated site many people that don't visit the forums probably still have no idea that Skale v0.81 is already here!
Anyway, hopefully this has now changed! :)
