It's the first 30 minutes of the redesign and I just want to say that I really, really like it. It'll take some getting used to for sure, but overall it's excellent. I can't wait for traffic to die down so it's easier to use without having to refresh a page a few times just so that you can get a little bit of that bandwidth :3

Anyway, I'm off to check out all the new systems, and levels and such. Thanks NG Team :D!!!!!

Part 2:

The site crashed after about 10 minutes of up time. But now things seem to be working much more smoothly. I'm really liking how much of the site is laid out, but I thing there needs to be a button at the bottom of each forum thread page to post a response to the thread, instead of just a reply button on each blurb that someone's said. I'm still poking around though, I haven't even visited any of the portals yet!
