It would be nice if they have it down while they're updating it, wouldn't it?
Dunno, I can't access it, either....

That site easily has some of the worst presentation I've ever seen, ever. It also hasn't been updated in 3 years, which sucks. Apart from that, it's not bad, information wise.

It has been down for four days but the forums are still up as they are ezboard hosted.

:?: The only problem I see with it is the banner, but opening a new window forever kills it.

Actually it has been constantly worked on, though only on a limited scale. The fact that no ones gone back to change hundreds of copyright notices on warships pages on which the data will never change doesn't tell you much.

As for why it's down, I have no idea. Questions in the forum have gone without an official answer that I've noticed.

It just looks el cheapo and cluttered, and the fonts really suck. It should get a more professional, less cluttered format- something like globalsecurity.org, strategypage, etc

Warships1's cluttered format is what makes it so great IMO. ;)

Fine for my eyes, I care about that data not the presentation.

I'd rather the time was spent on their future projects list, which supposedly has a couple hundred ships on it. Anyway, I think globalsecuirty has a pretty shitty format. I dont vist strategypage, I can get my fill of bullshit elsewhere.
