The new version 2 website layout and coding back end was officially implemented May 2nd, 2005, but due to some crippling bugs, it took us a few extra days to get everything working smoothly. Well here we are a month later and I've had time to go over our stats and I just can't help but be impressed with the numbers. Searches are up, submissions are up and we almost doubled our visitor traffic! We've received nothing but positive feedback on the new changes in both the eye candy AND the functionality departments of v2, and new ideas are submitted almost daily! And even after all this, we're still working on TONS of new features to release this summer, plus LOADS of loot for upcoming contests!

I would just like to take the time to thank Jay for the insane amount of hours, blood, sweat and tears that he puts into this site, to Donna for turning the forums around and restoring and maintaining order, and to the rest of the Moderator staff for helping out with keeping the peace and ensuring the forums are always in top notch shape. I'd also like to thank the contributor staff for donating their time to the site, our affiliates and partners for helping drive this site with new traffic and spreading the word, and to everyone else that links to us through the topsites program or completely out of respect or willingness to share our resources with their site visitors.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank all of our members and visitors for keeping this place such a fun community to run and be a part of. Your continued support is what keeps me coming back to the site no matter how tedious things get.

Thanks again everyone and we hope you enjoy the new features we're launching this summer and best of luck in all our contests!

<3

I have to say, the more I look at V2, the more I apprecite and recognize the effort put in :P

EDIT: Yeah, not gonna cause trouble I guess, but for 13 year old like me, I thought it was some nice handy work. Thx for the heads up anti, squerel..

yeah, nothing short of congratulations Faken, you deserve it, as well as the rest of twodded staff, and your other partners :)

it was made as a joke, and if he want to kill me...well, what can I do? I am not selling it or distributing it... I'm not even taking complete credit. Anyways, up with the next template, I always have it changing :P

Ok guys back to the topic please... if anyone is doing something stupid, I eventually see it and it gets taken care of. I'm starting to be irritated by the level of ripping going on and I'm going to start doing a lot more issuing DMCA notices to violations.

Keep up the good work guys. I can see that the transition is definitely good. Nice layout, user-friendly, nice colours and the whole system looks re-vamped and of good quality.

Good job, and keep it up :P
