Can I make this forum sort the "normal" way?

"You know the Dominions2 domain names are still available."

It would have no use since it would not be the official site(no image gain for Illwinter) and there is already a very nice fan website that does perfectly the job of giving players another place to look at for infos and help about Dom2.

I'm glad the current site is considered as temporary.

It's a temporary support site. Meaning that it wouldn't even exist if it wasn't needed to host and fill certain areas for the community. I think you misinterpreted that as meaning "We'll make a good one later".

I'm sure sometime in the future the webpage will get an upgrade, but I doubt IW has the time to update and upgrade the webpage as it stands now. I would rather have them having a less than "marketable" website while fixing issues with the game, than the other way around.

But to me, it seems that the debate is between the old Users who are used to the way it works and the newer Users who are more used to the normal way.

I think if Illwinter and their publisher wish to grow, they have no choice but to adapt to the standards of the market. The current message board and Illwinter website, for example, are perfect for fan sites... but for a company wishing to become a big name, it's unprofessional. My grandma could make a better looking website, seriously. The shrapnel games Dom2 website looks much better but it lacks information. I know they got no people to do it but Dominions 2 should work well enough to let them hire an artist and a webmaster.
