I think Tal may have stored it somewhere but it's gone from the frontpage along with the old design.

It's sitting on my hard drive along with the rest of the old design...

Maybe you should setup an area to display what SP was like 'back in the day'.

An archive sort of thing maybe. :hmm:

Newegg.com did that. There's a small link on the front page to use newegg with the 'Clasic view'.

Don't know if SP should do the same, though. :rolling:

Oh, not a whole-site kind of thing! Maybe you could just link the Whatnots Archive (and any others that hit archive status) in there so us noobs can see what it was like in the good ol' days.

OMG, I have that picture! It's from a Dungeon Magazine (I'm not terribly good at making up my own adventures :o ), and I've got a copy sitting up in my room.

:) I just really loved that picture, and thought it a shame not to be a part of the SP design anymore.

*Sigh*

Well, all things are ment to go, good or bad, I guess. And the new design are both better and easier to navigate.

Actually, the art was by Tony DiTerlizzi ( http://www.diterlizzi.com/ ), used by permission. I got it from his site. I love his work.

Yep, there's a little box in the lower right corner that says:
-----
| dit |
| erl |
| izzi |
-----
It's on the cover of Dungeon Magazine, Issue #55. It was made for Christopher Perkins' PLANESCAPE adventure "Umbra" (p.18).
COVER: Tony DiTerlizzi graces our cover with a fantastic image of Umbra. It's a very thorough adventure (30 pages!), but I never had occasion to use it. :(

OMG It's was so much better before... Can't say I'm a fan of the new design... Oh well.

That's what I saw when I first dropped by for some walkthrough help. I miss the elven guy. Thanks for letting us have one more look.

Oh, yeah - I booked this wonderful place ages back for the purpose of d/l NPC mods for BG, back before I got consistent 'net access. *wistful sigh*

Well, the old layout might have looked prettier at the first glance because of the nice art, but that's about it. In terms of functionality, features and ease of updating for me, it was a complete miss. SP was way overdue for a complete overhaul.
