Introducing the new SimplyDiscus website!

[Ryan]

Hello everyone,

It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you SimplyDiscus.com's complete website!


http://www.simplydiscus.com

We have been compiling tons of data from the forum for nearly a year now to bring this website to you. It is our hope that this site will provide a central location for members to browse library articles regarding all aspects of discus, find helpful links and suggestions, and much more!

There are many sections of the site that are not completed, and some that we are working on. We will be updating this site frequently and we strongly encourage you to share your thoughts and suggestions on how to make the site work for you.

Many thanks are owed to the moderators of this site who took the time out of their busy schedules to compile the articles and pictures found throughout the site. The volunteer work that they have put forth in this huge task is more valuable than words can express. Every article and link on the site was saved and sent to me by the mods here.

Also, a big round of applause for Chi Huynh (EthanCote.com) who designed and coded this site entirely on his own! He has been an excellent web designer to work with and his work is truly appreciated. Without him, this wonderful site would not be as visually appealing and as functional as it is. So everyone let him know how great his work is!

As always, a big thank you to Al for his patience in this whole process. It has been a slow and tedious one, and I have been promising him that the site was almost ready for about six months now, lol.

I hope you all enjoy the site. Let us know what you think!

Eventually the forum will be incorporated into the design and everything will be more stream-lined. I have been working on that. Chi sent me the template for it, I just have to apply it. We've been really excited about announcing it though, so I decided not to wait. There's a lot of information to be found in the Library, so that should keep folks busy til we finish the site. ;D

amazing. congratulations to everybody. there's no question that this board has grown into an "empire" simply because of the positive attitude and beginner-friendly atmosphere. it takes new posters to grow, and this board has done nothing short of a spectacular job in welcoming in new keepers. when you come to simply discus for the first time you're not intimidated. you're not confused. you will, however, be overwhelmed at the sheer volume of knowledgeable people with good intentions and an undying love for the hobby. there's one reason this board casts a shadow over all the others: its people. weather you're 10 or 90, you'll always feel you're in good company here. big hand for the brew crew, house breeders and everyone else. i consider myself lucky to have been a part of this place since the beginning. bottom line: discus. are. the best. and so is simplydiscus. ;)

Thanks guys for the kind words.

It is much appreciated. I was grateful to have been a part of this project. It was a project that has been in the works for several months and I didn't think it will see the light due to our busy schedules.

It was a group effort that help shaped the site you see before you.

Hats off to Ryan for working so diligently in sending me the stuffs to work with. Hats off to the mods for working behind the scenes in preparing the materials and discussing all aspects of the site. And hats off to Al for giving me a chance to be a part of something wonderful. You guys have all worked so hard in getting this site to where it is today. So I applaud you all for the commitment, time and energy (and money) you've put into this site. You all deserved a round of applause.

And lastly hats off to all of you, the Simply members, it is with your continued support and feedbacks that help to make this site great.

This is only the beginning folks. So relax, enjoy and stick around for more great things to come.


Cheerio,

Chi.

I am very impressed with the quality of Chi's work.

I'm also delighted to have my 15 seconds of fame. I'm the Poster Child for Newbies! That's me under Keeping Discus for Beginners! If the shoe fits....

[brewmaster15]

Hi all,
If you have not been able to access the new website... Log off simply and then back in again.. Hope you enjoy it!

I was surprised when I went to my link and found "Simply Discus", the website not the board. I must copliment everyone on its appearance. Crisp and uncluttered, no distracting flash or animated graphics flitting across the page.

I don't envy filling the space but you have some wonderful threads to work with from this symposium.

Whomever put the sit together should send me an e-mail if they are looking to put something together for a fee.

[SLY]
