I just want to take time to appreciate the work of you guys behind the scenes. I have a lot of fond memories here in AF and love to see the forum and website re-vamped. Maybe Ross will start promotion the site a little bit more ro bring the forums back to their glory days.

I think an agnostic approach is more suitable. I've only been here a few years, but it appears to me that Ross is more of watchmaker than a lynch pin. Any future non-cosmetic changes would have to be pushed through by us, the community. And by us, I mean *you* (jk)

Sidenote: Linus Tech Tips’ forum uses the same system as us, you could suggest things from there to be added here. (We’re obviously not going to copy them entirely, but some reference helps.)

Hello there...

[Ross Scott]

I'm 10 kinds of busy at the moment (hope to have working refrigerator soon to put in perspective).  I'll just say everything (downloadable files, past articles, etc.) will come back, it just may not happen all at once.

daniel: I do remember some animated avatars being distracting, I may have to stick with static ones.

Luis: The website is going to get an awesome promotion + video later on, but not now, this is all going to roll out gradually.  The promotion will be related to a feature I have planned later that I think a bunch of people are going to like and may permanently increase traffic.

That's perfectly fine.  I created a static avatar to replace the Bruce Almighty loop.  Thanks!

Ross, I mentioned this on another thread, but if you're going prevent BTG from using his Data gif, then you must seriously consider the possibility of the Crystalline Entity manifesting and killing everyone on this site.

No, we're safe, that was a different episode.

All the posts (except for the latest Dead Game News article, which wasn't in the archive) have been re-added! This did take a while longer than I expected, but I'd say that it's all worth it. (During the migration process of the 495-odd articles, I only had 2 errors.) The videos page has also launched alongside it.

Woot, love the new design and the forums are super easy to use. Great job, guys!

Looking good so far, just needs a "mark all forums as read on the main forum page".

Thank You.

That was a thing on the functional version of the previous forum layout as well.
