20+ years of Valiant website... too frustrating?
My http://www.ValiantComics.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; fan website turns 20 this year, and I had a Valiant fan website on other servers before that one... and I'm pretty sure that the whole thing is a combination of broken pages, too many links that are too hard to find, out-of-date info, and a few pages that actually work... leaving the whole thing really frustrating.
So, I have started http://www.Valiant101.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to get back to the basics.
Let me know what you guys think.

Well done, Greg! I can still remember the excitement of exploring the site back in 2012 and printing out all the checklists to start my hunt for the original Valiant.

Re: 20+ years of Valiant website... too frustrating?
I have to dare you, Greg- you have to find the time in your life to go and write a Valiant history book. Seriously, you are the guy who could do it, and we would kickstart the heck out of it.
Congrats on another awesome source for Valiant stuff.

I’m looking at you paulsmith.
It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.

Re: 20+ years of Valiant website... too frustrating?
Sometimes I think about selling off parts of my complete, regular issue 91-16 run. Then I see stuff like Valiant 101, and I know the run is going nowhere. Great job as always, Greg.
