I hate to do this but I'm pushing back the release date of the new site design again, this time to September 1st. I had always planned on having the site go live before it was 100% completed but at this point it's only about 30% finished and I don't feel it's fair to release it at this point. It's completely my fault for vastly underestimating the amount of work this would take and I apologize for having to push it back twice now. Just to give you guys an idea of why it's taking so long these are some of the things you can look forward to seeing: - New pictures of every single Zoid in my collection, some of which have never been photographed before. On average each Zoid has between 7-12 pictures, some have over 20.
- A detailed review for every single kit.
- Technical data and Battle Stories for several of the kits.
- An entirely new layout/design built from scratch. This is basically a whole new website, the only thing carried over from the old site is some of the text.
- A completely new interface that is more logical and easier to use.
- 2 brand new customs and pictures of other customs never before photographed.
Again, I apologize for having to push the date back but I really feel it's better this way and once September comes I think you'll all agree. ;D -Phenotype

Definitely best to wait until it's fully complete, to ensure the destruction of other zoids sites (except mine plz). Sounds like it'll definitely be worth the wait. Your pics are usually the deciding factor on whether to buy zoids I'm unsure of.

to ensure the destruction of other zoids sites (except mine plz). *throws a rock at your head* *also throws rocks at IE for doing effed up things with margins and padding, and rocks at Opera for making smaller fonts mysteriously extra-smaller and requiring more poking* Rocks for everybody! EVERYBODY DIES! Photographs are a pain, as is tearing apart old code (especially old Frontpage code). Take the time it needs, whatever that is, and save your brain the implosion.

You don't need to apologize to us. It's not like you just had to make a new site redesign. You're doing this because you want to, so feel free to take your time.

The longer the wait, the better that means it will turn out in the end!^^
Personally, I think this site looks great as it is already!^^ I could never do a design like this.>< My friends always have to help me when it comes to graphics stuff...>< -feels like a stupid noob-
But like the others said...take your time, I'm sure it'll turn out to be a work of art in the end!^^

Hey, I feel it's worth the extra-month wait for all that you said. Now I have a new excuse to hang around the site for 11 hours a day... maybe I need to get out more... nah. Zoids better.

Well, at first I was kinda dissapointed, because I was waiting for the site to be all new and spiffy, but now, not so much, because I know your site's going to be all sorts of pwnage.
I will never, ever, ever use that word again.
