Wow, after reading the idea for the main gate, i am impressed. It sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to see it. (If you didnt see it then check the updates on MMLS and you can also go to: maingate.legends-station.com/ )
As of 2008/07/25, the entire Main Gate design and concept has been redefined. Jump ahead to the announcement post.

Glad to see enthusiasm toward the project already. I do think The Main Gate has some real potential, but like I said it's kind of stupid to have the same guy doing two sites on the same series. Thus, finding and working with the right staff members are what will really make The Main Gate something special. Finding the right people will probably take a little time, but still... Thanks!
I'm gonna go ahead and move this to the Site Discussion area while I'm at it.
EDIT: I forgot to say, yes I did draw the background pic for The Main Gate. Just a sketch really, but it turned out kind of neat.

And thus, The Main Gate has officially opened. Might as well keep this going as the general topic of discussion concerning the site.

Gotta compliment you on the layout, fab. Basing it on the DASH manual... Where do you come up with this stuff? You're awesome. ;D

Yes, it'd be a good site if I could get in there.

The Main Gate is a site unto itself, sort of an extension of MMLS. It is the central link station to a number of smaller sites which all focus on an individual aspect of the Legends series. So far, two of these small sites are open.
Halcyon Days~ This one is a choose your own adventure story set in the world of Legends, featuring original characters, but hopefully with enough familiarity and intrigue to keep everyone coming back as we add more pages to the story.
Alternate Trigger~ If you recall the 3D Legends comic which premiered on MLU's Boards, it now has its own site within The Main Gate. The long awaited Part 02 of the comic (5 new pages) are there, in addition to the first part. More to come, for sure!
SIM says he can't get there because of parental controls... Not much I can do about that. For most people who have had trouble getting into the site, it is a bandwidth matter, which I have posted a notice about on MMLS's update page.

Yes, parental controls blocks me. I COULD request access, but I'm lazy.

So is this Main Gate site basically an extension of MMLS which displays works concerning things that didn't happen in the Legends series but could? What exactly is its purpose, aside from being a "central link station to a number of smaller sites which all focus on an individual aspect of the Legends series" (and what exactly do you mean when you say this?) All in all it's an excellent sub-site, keep up the good work! ;D

Given The Main Gate's two current sites, I can see how it would be easy to come to that conclusion Dashe. But no, it's not things that didn't happen in Legends but could, it just so happens that the first two sites to open there are of the "fan creation" variety. The Main Gate is an extension of MMLS though, meant to deliver fun Legends content on a more artistic and whimsical level. Content which is not suited to MMLS because MMLS is all official and proper. Singular Aspects: The singular being that each small site has one focus. Alternate Trigger is all about the comic, Halcyon Days is all about the story. Halcyon Days delivers the aspects of a fun story in the world of Legends, in which you get to choose your own path and have a say in your outcome. Though it may not star official characters, it holds true to what Legends is all about. Alternate Trigger delivers the aspects of everyone wondering what happens after MML2, a lot of good Legends humor, and seeing the characters in a new adventure. That's the purpose of The Main Gate, and there will be more sites opening there before long, but like many sites on the web, it's still got a long way to grow.

Now I may be misunderstanding a bit, but in light of that, will you be moving the fanworks (fiction, art, interactive story) from MMLS to The Main Gate?
