After five years of the old site design, the CJAS website has undergone some major changes. The main site is now a WordPress blog with a brighter theme, and we are introducing a new discussion forum for our members. If you are a CJAS alum, feel free to sign up for an account on the forums! We hope you enjoy the new site as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

So meta!
Looks great! However, the forums turning up a 404 is much less awesome. DD:
…neeeeevermind. It’s working now. ._.
Wow! What an exciting website!
What is this, “CJAS?” It sounds so incredibly appealing! I WILL feel free to sign up for an account on the forums! And I DO plan to enjoy the new site as much as you enjoyed putting it together!
Congrats on the new site!
Ah, the nostalgia… I designed the “original”–not quite because there was a single web page that Mike Yang had created before I took it over–CJAS website back around 1994 or 1995 from which the original “dark” theme originated. I was surprised to see that it had stuck around for so long. I’m a little sad to see it go, but I think a new look has been overdue and this one looks fresh and modern. Congratulations!
A little more history: my old Donlon roommate, Eric Wong, had designed the CJAS bear logo (now defunct?) which won the CJAS logo contest held back in 1993-1994 (I think). He also created the 3D version that was shown in the upper-left corner of the old sites using 3D Studio.
One thing I’m wondering… How did you get the “after” picture to contain itself recursively??
-Allen
The “after” picture was done by taking screenshot after screenshot after screenshot. 🙂 There are more clever ways of doing it, but I was tired, lazy and wanted to go to sleep at the time.
And so the great mystery of the origins of the CJAS logo has finally been revealed. We’ve been wondering for a while where it came from.
The site looks great, guys! You did an awesome job! Yay CJAS!
I feel so out of the loop for just realizing that the site has been revamped, but I love it! Good work! Now, how do we submit articles to the blog? (I’m not very internets savy at times…)
Post in the forum and help collaborate, currently for eboard and alums only. Soon to be for everyone in CJAS.
