I trust you're not a troll.

The best way to handle this tactfully is to do it in a constructive way in private. You'll find the webmaster address in the about page (http://www.matrixgames.com/aboutus/contact.asp).

Pull out a list. Long or short.
Start with the upper left corner of the front page.
For each issue found, propose a solution

My 2 cents,

JeF.

But I agree with JeF, in private and systematically is the way to make suggestions.

I think you're right. Just too coincidental not to be one of ravenhoods multiple personalities.

Not really, I'm afraid. I suspect the chances of pulling that off are about the same as a former poster here had of establishing his 'character' over at Battlefront in the few hours before he got banned there as well. Maybe if you can manage a couple of thousand posts beforehand without making a complete arse of yourself in the way he did you could bring the matter up without offending anybody?

Anyway, enough of that chump. We should be welcoming our new member to the forums, so welcome montague49! You don't like the websites, I see, but which Matrix games do you play and enjoy?

So, which website service provider do you come here representing, and how much money would you like Matrix to pay you to set up a 'shiny, new and improved' interface for them?

We need you, Erik on this one.
