At the moment I'm leaning toward not going too crazy with the tabs. I'd like to keep the majority of the information on the page visible to the reader. The less clicking to find information the better.

As of now I'm drawing the line on how many tabs we'll allow for title pages and cards. I don't want them stacking up on each other, especially from an aesthetics perspective; it just looks bad. There will some debate as to what title pages we'll include, but we'll cross that road at another time.

That is one idea that's been tossed around. It's definitely something I'm considering, but I haven't discussed it with the other admins yet.

That's because you aren't seeing the whole page, just the information box. I can't give too much away.

I meant this current winter, but in all honesty it will more than likely be this coming spring (March-May 2014). If we were to do anything this winter, it would more than likely be a partial open to selected community members.

Like VegettoEX said, it's gonna cost more money, plain and simple. Unfortunately, none of us are too fond of asking for your money, and most people don't think to donate until we mention it. We have thrown around the idea of doing some sort of fund raiser, but I think we'll have a better idea of what to expect financially the first month we launch. As of right now, on average, if 20 people donated $5 we could cover the server for a month. In the meantime I'm looking into some alternative solutions, so we'll just have to wait and see.
