I think it would be great idea to make Blizzlike website and forums. It brings a lot of memories and nostalgia and will certainly attract more players. If you are striving for full Blizzlike Vanilla experience, I think that is a must and should be included. Thank you, looking forward for tonight testing!

thats quite dangerous since it could provide a reason for blizzard to focus on you.
using their looks and feels and also a wow product is destined for trouble.

Exactly as kovenant mentioned, although the idea is great and could be partially implemented, they still have direct copyright on their symbols, even corecraft had to take down a lot parts of their forums due to that. You gotta step carefully

At this point I think that it's overdone and a bit bland, I prefer something modern and usable.

Could just be me though.

I sort of agree with OP. The old website was epic, but today it's almost overused.
Maybe somewhere inbetween? Like if you visit www.nostalrius.org it would take you to some sort of information page that's in the theme of the old blizzard website.

Imo, the forums should stay modern though! ;)

Well, they're already using blizzard's art here on the forums :P

Art themes and drawn things are different than the original symbols, as CC used, with that being said, sure, they could chase them for using the spirit..

I also like the idea very much to not only bring back nostalgia to the server, but also to the website and forums. But as kovenant said; we might be playing with fire. And that's not worth it. Blizzard ain't our friends..

They could do something similar to Atlantiss's website. Dodgykebab mentions a good deal about how well designed it is in hsi review.
