A lot of dead links out there!

[WILL]

Hey guys, I haven't really been with the scene in quite some time. Over a year in fact. Well I decided to do a quick look around to see how everyone was doing, game libraries, developer sites, etc... I was shocked to see that a great many of them are either reset domain pages or dead links or just not updated in years. :shock:

What happened? Where is everyone?

Where are you?

There are others that don't have group or personal websites, but off hand these are the ones that I noticed missing from the community for a long time now...

Websites like cerebral-bicycle.co.uk and nitrogen.za.org are also still online. They may not be up-to-date though. :?

If it wasn't for the dark gray on black I'd love your new site design. In fact I still love it, just can't read parts of it. Really gotta remember to keep those color blind people in mind when you design a site Necro, after all we are 1/4-1/3 of the people out there (depending on who you talk to) :)

What colors-combinations are save to use for a color blind person to be able to read? Is it about contrast? I believe i once heard red and green are also equal?

I good question, with a not so easy answer as there are quite a few different types of color blindness. See here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorblind) for more info, examples and even links to tests.

The problem is that there are WAY too many types of color blindness's to give you a basic list. I tell my creative people that if they can print it on a crappy black and white printer and still read it from about 3 feet away they are prolly safe. This gets 99% of the combinations that are difficult to read. The other 1% you can't duplicate, you simply have to learn them.

As an example, I'm hue sensitive. So colors in the same hue near one another (doesn't matter what color it is) will all blend together. If one color is minimal then I don't see it at all.

Yeah well, the new "design" is just some theme someone made for wordpress, nothing fancy. My old site was done all by myself :). So I still have to make a new design for my new site. Somehow I think I'm gonna lose the black/with and have some more color in it.
