Pins and needles over here. Just so you know.

Change is scary .... someone hold me!

Paging Mr. DeMille . . .

Yo, thelarmis, drumroll please!

Just to be clear, it's not going to be "down" as in "not working" (knock on wood). Rather, it will be a little bit messy and/or slow for a while.

Starting ... NOW!

What?

7 Diane Firstman   ~  May 3, 2011 11:52 am

I really hope no one with the user name "What?" signs on in the next hour!

8 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 11:53 am

Hey!

9 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 11:54 am

(Sorry...The Tick reference. What! Hey! What! Hey!)

10 Diane Firstman   ~  May 3, 2011 12:03 pm

My theory is that the site is being optimized for the hard of hearing.

Oh, god, is this what it looks like, or is this just temporary?

So busy-looking with the red time code there like that.

12 Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2011 12:51 pm

It's A-Rod's fault.

13 Shaun P.   ~  May 3, 2011 1:07 pm

Ooh ooh! I want to post a wacky comment too!

What's the name of the man on second.

14 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 1:11 pm

Ok, I'm going to flip the switch here in a minute. It will still be semi-broken for maybe an hour, so be patient with the new look for a little bit.

15 williamnyy23   ~  May 3, 2011 1:12 pm

I don't know...he's on third and I don't give a damn.

16 rbj   ~  May 3, 2011 1:15 pm

Who?

I hope we still have comment numbers. Otherwise it'll be harder to respond in game threads.

17 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 1:15 pm

Rats, first attempt didn't work. Will need another 15 minutes to fix it, then try again.

18 Shaun P.   ~  May 3, 2011 1:17 pm

[1:11pm] Ken, knowing that you've had a big hand in this makes me feel very comfortable with the whole thing.

[1:15pm] I'm sure they'd be easy to add in - and if not, we can adapt, right? ;)

Where were you when the switch was flipped?

20 Diane Firstman   ~  May 3, 2011 1:26 pm

"With a flick of the switch ...."

21 Shaun P.   ~  May 3, 2011 1:39 pm

"Let there be Banter," he said, and there was, and it was good.

22 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 1:50 pm

Getting ready to try again in a minute or three...

23 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 1:55 pm

OK, here we are...a few things still broken...

24 Diane Firstman   ~  May 3, 2011 1:57 pm

Hmmmm ....

25 Jon DeRosa   ~  May 3, 2011 1:57 pm

ah, wow.

26 rbj   ~  May 3, 2011 1:59 pm

Wow, looks good so far.

27 Alex Belth   ~  May 3, 2011 2:00 pm

Got a new post up. And Ken still has some bugs to work out. But we're up and running!

28 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 2:00 pm

[23] But do the links work?

29 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 2:00 pm

[28] Yes!

30 williamnyy23   ~  May 3, 2011 2:01 pm

I like this a lot...looks fresh and clean!

31 Ken Arneson   ~  May 3, 2011 2:01 pm

Sidebar needs cleaning up.

32 Alex Belth   ~  May 3, 2011 2:03 pm

Ken, you, sir are the mothertrucking MAN

33 Shaun P.   ~  May 3, 2011 2:09 pm

[31] [32] And a return of bracketed comment linking! This is awesome!

34 Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2011 2:11 pm

[33] Indeed. Cool beans AB and Co.!
