Just to answer your questions about that server: Yes, it's still up. When we get the first server of this, it will run on there.
Don't know if you're looking for a new site design, but here's a concept I made.

I didn't do much to it because I probably won't continue it if you don't want it.
Honestly I think they should get rid of the Halo texture background. Kind of makes the site look unprofessional in a way, imo.Quote:

We already have a well established and discussed site theme that we're not going to show you until it's ready.
For future reference, please don't attempt to restyle the current site which is simply our functional prototype.

TPV (thread-post velocity) has slowed here, so I thought I'd try to pick it back up with another set of announcements:
First off, we've got our release schedule. The next two weeks are being spent taking the functional prototype you see at http://cce.phpwnage.com/ and moving it to our top-secret final build. The first week will involve moving the current final-stats system over, and the next week will involve implementing proper reads of our final XML format, which we have dubbed "SIX" for Synapse Intermediary XML. Now, we probably won't be revealing the final product in two weeks, but we will have it ready to go. Expect Cerebrum to be shown in its final form around the time kornman00 finishes Synapse and Open Sauce Update #2.
Second, we've been making mention of our personal ranking of "ONI Black Ops", and I'm now touting it in my signature and other places, so I thought I'd make the announcement on it.
There are four different ranks associated with ONI Black Ops. In a way, it's its own department like the Marines, Army and Air Force that you will be seeing in the final Cerebrum. However, there is a difference: You can't move up these ranks by playing Halo. The ranks are given for various levels of involvement in Cerebrum and Synapse themselves. Consider the top three of these ranks our flaming heads and the bottom rank our Recon.
The four ranks are named for the four sections of ONI in the Haloverse:
- Section Zero consists of actual developers of Cerebrum and Synapse, particularly myself, jcap, kornman00 and ShadowSpartan
- Section One includes are graphics department, currently siliconmaster482 and MrBig for screenshots and fresh graphics for emblems, achievements and medals (respectively).
- Section Two is reserved for the staff the keeps Cerebrum flowing when it is finished.
- Section Three is given to our contest winners, currently only DEE has this, but the winner of my personal "Skin Hunter's Hornet" will earn it as well.
The thing with the ONI Black Ops ranks is that they are opt-in for those who earn them, and any of us are free to turn them off if we wish. Of course, I suck at Halo, so you can safely assume I'll be using the rank the entire time.
So if regular joes cant earn them, why have them? Or at least, why have them but NOT have a ranking system that is earnt by playing Halo?
I do agree the developers need a way to stand out from the crowd, so people know they did the work to get it all going.
There is (will be, rather) a ranking system that is earned by playing, isn't there?Quote:
