I'm a little perplexed as to why the banner link has been changed to take us to the horribly outdated Wizard review feature as opposed to the Legion DCMB.

Since it's been brought up, I wondered why the banner link used to take us to the Legion boards at the DCMB at all ... given the general disdain amongst those using LW.net for WB's latest and "greatest" home-grown posting software. That seemed to include Gary and Scott.
Was it a bow to the DC lawyers, perhaps? If so, I doubt it would be enough to satisfy them, if they chose to make a real rampage. Or, in another sense, even really needed, given that this LW.net site falls under "fair use" for commentary and reporting.
Some of the fan-made Legion reference sites (covering pre-boot and post-boot) could be more useful for such a link. Here are two excellent sites that you may want to consider:
~ Mike Kooiman's "DC Cosmic Teams: Legion," built on reconstructed 30th/31st Century chronology, pre- and post-Zero-Hour, highly and efficiently formatted with frames ... http://www2.bitstream.net/~myke4/legion/index.html
~ Don Sakers (Get-a-Life Boy)'s LSH site, with per-issue information grouped by publishing era, along with tabulated Alternate Legions and other related features ... http://www.readersadvice.com/lsh/lsh.html

I would think that a link to the DC Boards would be appropriate, regardless of whether or not we like the software currently being used. It IS the "Mother Ship", so to speak, and it's also where we have gotten the lion's share of our membership.
Perhaps there is some way to include a Links page on this site that could include the sites Grey suggested, as well as any others we might think up...?

It was mine. I prefered it as a resource to the Legion for our users. As for the link to the DC Boards, I'm working on it in a different capacity. Patience, grasshoppers.

Ya mean ya got a plan? Hmmm... that doesn't usually work well with the "fly by the seat of my pants" methods of the LMBP, but we'll see what happens
