💜💜 Monthly Spotlight - Mesozoic Haven💜💜

[PGen98]

Welcome to our April edition of the Monthly Spotlight! From time to time we will be spotlighting a forum or blog in order to allow the FP community to be introduced to new sites or get reacquainted with existing sites. We are excited to announce April's Spotlight!

We invite members to visit Mesozoic Haven and join up! 🙂
In this thread take the opportunity to ask @KensonPlays
questions about the site or make comments on it!

@KensonPlays -- What piqued your interest in the Mesozoic Era, enough to start a forum about it?

Thanks for being a part of Forum Promotion!​

@KensonPlays have you ever thought about making a promo video for the site? I think it could be so cool looking with some dinos.

If I had the skills to do so, I would! I only have basic editing skills, so it would be a fairly simple video, IMO.

Thanks for the feature, @PGen98!

What sparked your interest in the Mesozoic Era and making a family-friendly site for dinos?

What sparked your interest in the Mesozoic Era and making a family-friendly site for dinos?

I've always had an interest in dinosaurs, which never went away. The Mesozoic era includes Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous, when most dinos lived.

I'm also a Christian (but I won't get too much into it to hopefully prevent a lot of controversial topics), so I don't swear myself.

Edit: Odd, the fontawesome menu icons don't get cut off when I preview in 1080p, but they do in OP screenshot?

Absolutely understandable, dinosaurs were truly remarkable, both in variety and proportions, and they seem almost like something out of a fantasy story than real, and yet, there they were! Do you have a single favourite dino?

Hmm, we use a site called site-shot to grab quick snapshots, I guess they must have cut things off, my apologies! I'll go back and take a better screenshot personally when I'm at my desk again 🙂

It seems it takes a 1:1 square picture, so that may be why. When I view in 1080p 16:9, it doesn't happen.

Spinosaurus, of course:

Yeah, that sounds about right, we'll get that sorted ASAP!

Aww, looks cute in animated form lol

I've also updated the logo to match Discord and Guilded, so they're the same everywhere now.

Yea. 🙂 Though the model on my logo and the gif aren't accurate anymore. This is the Nat. History Museum's rendition of the new body design. (my logo was made before the discovery)

Perfect, well that should be reflected as well once the new screenshot is up!

@KensonPlays -- How does the screenshot look now?

They basically are crocodilians, yep. 🙂

How does the screenshot look now?

Looks fine to me!

Fantastic, my favourite was always the brontosaurus and the others like them, gigantic herbivores, always fascinated me that they could be so enormous!

Looks fine to me!

Perfect, glad we got that sorted 🙂
