Website is online

03 Dec 00:38

Hello everybody

After some time spent in development in the beta stage, the GECO website is finally done. Or at least the first release.
Some things will still be added and are a work in progress, but the basic functionality should be working fine.

You'll always find the newest updates & announcements concerning the LAN party here in the news section. At the moment we're still negotiating on where we will be holding the LAN party, but we're working really hard to get evertything ready for the LAN.

That's it for now, not much to write, but still exciting.
