Updating the site wouldn't hurt as well.

I agree with a site update. There are also lots of other tid-bits that this site really needs to have. The only issue lies with finding someone who can fully commit to doing all of it.

What do you need updated?  I now have the abilities to post updates.  If you guys have stuff that you want added, please submit it to me either via Private Messaging, or through a post in Fan Stuff. ;)

NOW we're playing with power!

Updating everything would be pretty awesome.

Man I was just thinking it would be great if the Castlevania Dungeon site were updated with all of the new game information and the sort. Hell, if I knew anything about computers I would be the FIRST one to volunteer piecing the place together.

Anyone want to cheat me about computers?

Totally updating the site right now, you guyz. xD
What do you want, in terms of an update?
See?
I put something on "What's New" (http://www.castlevaniadungeon.net/new.html), where it mentions Operation Akumajo and the Castlevania Syndicate.

That blog you mentioned sounds pretty interesting. Also, Thernz needs his own nag column where he can nag about game design.

I would say at least mention the 25th anniversary, and that Konami plans to do some sort of thing for it.

I know it's a lot for one person, but it would be great if the site could be continually updated with new information. I remember I used to come here for all of my Castlevania news and information. Eventually, there was only a review and pictures put up for each game. Finally it dropped of, as you know with that one update well over a year ago.

No criticism. Like I said, I know it's a lot for one person, let alone one person with a life to live. It's just what I wouldn't mind seeing happen to the place.

Here's what I think should also be done. The timeline. We already have the video game section however there are now two distinct CV's. The video game section could be devided up into two parts; The original timeline and the LoS timeline. Jorge should whip up a new section for the LoS games specific to that timeline only just so we don't confuse any new patrons who might pop in for a visit.

The timeline seems to include retconned games, so I think that you can just place the LoS timeline and say "This game follows a new timeline established by director David Cox" or something, just like the other games say "This game has been retconned by Koji Igarashi".

Also, I could just put a blurb on the top.

The timeline is very difficult to edit without going on and on and on about the story, so if you guys can help with something short (three paragraphs) about LoS, Reverie, and Resurrection, that would be terrific.  If you need to write spoilers, write a separate paragraph or two about them and I'll paste it into the Spoiler-Timeline.

Updated the "What's New" Page (http://www.castlevaniadungeon.net/new.html).  :)
No one has submitted any new articles, so I put up a blurb or two based on some new stuff we know.  I made a thread about submitting stuff to the site at Fan Stuff.  If anyone would like to contribute something new, just run it by me through this thread (http://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/index.php/topic,3957.0.html).

Hey Jorge, you should consider image resizing code for the forum. so we dont have to spoiler larger images. it could automatically resize them to a more forum friendly size.
