Uh oh, is the colour scheme going to be black? If it is then I cant look at it for long periods as it really messes up my eyes. :(

Is the creative writing forum disappearing: I notice it has been renamed to 'Web Design & Creativity', putting stories in a forum named that doesn't seem entirely appropriate? Hope the review forum isn't going either.

I'd give it an 8, edit post feature would be nice, doesn't appear to be all changed as yet.
Like the colour scheme of it all and the cheats and walkthrough sections look pretty smart.
I see there is now some sponsorship from GAME!

Pros:

The "Most Recently Updated Games" bit on the left. This might get people involved in adding cheats and walkthroughs etc.

The "Five Best Selling Games" bit, this is fun, I like it!

Some of the layout of the pages is good, stickies are easier to see and the ability to link posts elsewhere with a button click is great.

Cons:

The colour scheme is a bit... well dark. It's not bad, it's just a bit gloomy IMO.

I don't like seeing the man with a controller in his hand with the floral background and the thread title upon this. I agree it might be a good way to advertise GADs, but I just don't like it.

Again, might be my screen res (1650x1080), but the page seems quite squished.


Overall, I still give you 2/10 (misread Machie's rating system)

Maybe you're only allowed one in each post? Seems a bit odd but could be the case.

Ooh code appears in purple in the Internet General Chat and green in the Gaming General Chat. I also found myself lost for a few moments and ended up in the Staff forum, they have vending machines and everything in there.

Is code in green now?
Also why are there two General Discussion boards now? One under Internet, the other under Gaming?
