A Chronicle of the Brotherhood layouts

By Tycho McKorley

       Greetings to all those who actually read this little bit information! I'm sure that all of you have read the literature by Vince that details the history of this wonderful little site. What's that you say? You haven't read it? Well my friend, go take a look at this link.

       Anyway, now that you've learned the history of this fabulous site, you probably would like to see some of the layouts of the previous versions of this site (shut up! You want to see them now!).

In ye olde times...

       Get your vomit bags ready children because what you are about to see will surely disagree with your stomach. That's right, this is what our old Geocities site looked like.        Yes, take a long look. I know that you are very afraid. This site was so bad; it still gives some members of the staff nightmares. Remember, however, that if it weren't for this site pioneering the way, the Brotherhood of Britannia wouldn't be what it is today. I recommend that we move on before all of you little children feel like tearing your eyes out from viewing this old layout.


       All right kiddies, I think that it is also appropriate that we show a picture of the old message board. You can laugh at the lack of posts (c'mon, admit it, you do like to laugh at dead boards). Here's a picture:        The colors may have been ugly, the users may have been lacking, but the spirit of the Brotherhood message board was born inside of this one.
       Well, that was a bunch of sappy silliness. This board was basically for the old Ultima Online guild that was started by Vince (interestingly enough, it still exists on two shards. Go figure). Its life was short, and few tears are shed for its death.
       Let us move on.




A Move to the Future

        As you already know, Vince eventually decided to start fresh with the site. He later wound up with this layout:         Yes, the Brotherhood site had come a long way. This layout is full of fond memories. Staff members with actual experience and/or talent joined (though the old staff members certainly were very skilled in their own right). We created a message board that had people post in it (wow, aren't you proud of us yet?). The crown jewel of the time spent with this layout was when Gaming Ground Zero decided to affiliate with us (not to mention that this time around our other affiliates didn't die within a year).
        It's true; this is when the Brotherhood of Britannia really began to take off. The greatest improvement was that we had quality content (not to mention we now had a layout that wasn't so displeasing to the eye). We also began to get hits, which was something the older version of the Brotherhood of Britannia lacked.




*gasp* It's Changed Again!

        Eventually, that winds of change arose again. This time, thanks to Blood Reaper, we had a layout we could be proud of. Here's the picture:         Look at the organization of the site. Don't you just love it?
        This was the grandest of layouts yet, and it holds oh so many memories. Remember the time Vince did that one thing to Shade??? I know I do. Yes, kids, this layout went through at lot... and some of you may even remember it.

        Eventually, we also changed the colors of our message forum to match the current site configuration. Take a look at this:         Isn't that snappy? I know that all of you just wub (love) it.




More New Layout Funness!!!

        Breaking news! The Brotherhood of Britannia, in order to bring you more quality in your favorit rm2k resource site, has improved their layout yet again! Anyway, this is the Brotherhood's current layout... not too shabby eh? Thanks to Blook Reaper (yet again), we've been able to bring you this beauty. We hope you enjoy it and that it will bring you years (months? weeks?) of valuable use.




The Shape of Things to Come...

        Over time, the site's layout has changed quite a bit. One thing has never changed, however. We have always sought to bring you quality resources for every body's favorite C++ compiler (rm2k) and we will continue to do so in the future.
        Who really knows what the site will be like in the future. Always remember that we will continue to have the friendly and helpful staff that we have now and to bring you, the rm2k user, the best resources possible.
        I hope that you've enjoyed this brief look into our past. Until next time, CYA!
