Some of you may have already seen it, as both Lenny and Roy have posted MOCs linking to it, but here is the official announcement... Presenting (URL) NeutronBot.com> A new website created by six amazingly awesome individuals. We are all outrageously (...)

Ahh, (URL) Mystery Meat> navigation at its best/worst! I'm sure there are some cool things there, but all I see on the front page (in Firefox 1.0) is 7 hexagons. Nothing tells me what to do. Oooh, if I mouse over the hexagons they change colors! (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) Well that is really a shame. You'll miss out on some really rad MOCs. Oh well, can't have everyone like a site. But I do find it absurd that you couldn't figure out in 30 seconds how to get past the front page. It's not that difficult, dude. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.publish)

Thanks for the nice reply, Kelly. (...) Yep, this is already in the works. We just need to actually build the bots to go in the hex's (Lenny already did his : (URL) ) (...) It is up to each builder, but I imagine I'll link to Lugnet/CSF threads when (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Why should I do that? They're just hexagons - they don't say what they're for or where they go. You mean I should just click stuff willy-nilly when it's not clear what it's for? If the point of a web site is to disseminate information, (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

Would you still consider it a mystery if the hexagons had images in them, as we are working on? I thought it was fairly obivous, especially with the redundant text links below. Kyle (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
