Hey everyone,

Obviously, you'll notice there's been some new changes. We're pretty excited about the new look and feel. There will continue to be tweaks and changes to lots of stuff over the next few days/weeks.

The forums should function just as they did before, and all of the old content is intact.

Enjoy!

Are the Mega Battle T-Shirts also going to have a lighter browner look and feel?

I think the current plan is to keep the colors of the store black and white, but I could be wrong.

I try to stay out of the aesthetics as much as possible...  I sure as hell will say what I don't like and offer no solution though.  I'm great at that!! :)

That's definitely cool, but we are still working on it - so don't be too hard on us yet! :)

We're ironing out the credit card options shortly.

For those of us who are blind, any chance of darker fonts? Light brown on white makes me squint hard.

I was only kidding. Anyways, chase helped me out with some things. I will be there this weekend. Hopefully we can talk about the website. Awesome job though. It looks a lot better.

The light brown italics on grey gets me squinting too.  Hopefully Derek will make the bold or something too.  This was in my small list of nit-picks for the day.

One thing I have noticed is that on every "main" website page except for the forums there is no scroll bar on the left to go down. Is it just me?

Also under the buylist subject the prices and titles seem a little bit jumbled, a space or 2 should fix that problem! ;)
