Hello Everybody!
Well, today's the day! The bid official launch of my new website. After
dealing with mixed thoughts about continuing to maintain my old website
(www.rotule.qc.ca, dead now) or upgrading it, I opted to creating a new and
improved website with th best features of the old one and some new features.
Without further delay, here is the new url:
www.minifigville.com
The new Homepage is THE page to visit often if not daily. There, you will be
able to see what's new, what's been updated, your daily LEGOROSCOPE and a bunch
of other things. With the left menu, you can access every important pages on
the website in a single click. The navigation through the website is very easy
with this menu. It also displays a bunch of random links for the LPC, Top 10,
LEGOROSCOPE and Posters, so there's always something interesting to visit!
Like I said, I kept only the best features, which means everything but the "Ask
Merlz" section which didn't get much visits.
The main attraction was and will remain the Minifig Hall of Fame, which was y
far the section that received the more hits per month. In order to capitalize
on it, I've changed the formula to make things more interesting. There will now
have 2 rounds for the election of a Minifig into the HoF. Therefore, only 6
Minifigs will be inducted into the MHoF every year. To read all about the new
rules, visit http://www.minifigville.com/mhof/rules.shtml
The first election will start on January 1st, 2004. It will, as before, start
at the beginning of each month.
The Posters section was also a popular section, although people don't visit on a
daily basis. From comments I've received via emails, it's clear this section is
one of the most appreciated. The 2002 Contest
http://www.minifigville.com/posters/2002contest.shtml was a real boost to the
interactivity and it's only logical to announce there will soon be another
contest, probably in January 2004, so you can start your posters right away!

I'll try to add at least a poster every Tuesdays, but I can't promise I'll
always have the time!
The LEGO Picture Captioning and Top 10 sections have always been very popular
among a small group of people. I hope it will continue to grow and attract more
people as I believe it's one of the most original LEGO-related activity on the
web. Don't think I'm taking the credit for the idea, though, as I took the idea
from theforce.net. Anywaysm the LPC will now be updated on every Thursday and
the Top 10 will be updated on Mondays. I'll try very hard not to miss an
update, as these sections are best when updated regularly.

The Legoroscope look has been completely redone. We will add more fortune
sentences very soon.

Finally, there's now a forum to discuss about the website's sections, other
LEGO-related stuff and so on. Please take the time to post a little message now
and keep visiting it often so the forum can lift off. It's always hard to start
a forum, it takes the participation of many people. I think it can be very
interesting, for example, to know what you think of a particular poster. It's
the perfect way to express yourself.
A totally new section is already in the works and will be added in January.
It's called StudWars and it will be fully interactive, very humoristic and
highly entertaining! It's a mix of LPC, Top 10, and, well, everything else :-)
But I can't tell you more right now...
There are also 4 other sections projected for the beginning of 2004. Most of
them will be completely interactive, so there will always be something to do
when visiting www.minifigville.com !!!
So come visit MinifigVille often and add it to your bookmarks!

It's fully operational and you can already vote and write your comments about the first ever StudWars combat : JarJar/Timmy vs. Justin/Kelly : Who's worse? (...)
