what if tribe gave us a choice to set our own home page? those who prefer the old design could return to that and everyone else could use the new one?

is that possible? from a technical end?

    I just took a gander at the other tribe that wants to reinstate the old home page and they're talkin' about choice too.

    guess there is something to the 100th monkey theory.

    Assuming that it's CSS dependent, yes.

        PHP will also play a big role in it, I would imagine:

        "Self-referentially short for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, an open source, server-side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. In an HTML document, PHP script (similar syntax to that of Perl or C ) is enclosed within special PHP tags. Because PHP is embedded within tags, the author can jump between HTML and PHP (similar to ASP and Cold Fusion) instead of having to rely on heavy amounts of code to output HTML. And, because PHP is executed on the server, the client cannot view the PHP code. PHP can perform any task that any CGI program can do, but its strength lies in its compatibility with many types of databases. Also, PHP can talk across networks using IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3, or HTTP. PHP was created sometime in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf. During mid 1997, PHP development entered the hands of other contributors. Two of them, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, rewrote the parser from scratch to create PHP version 3 (PHP3)."
