Looks good! Check out the "Legacy Pages" column on the left. Glad to see that a link to this board remains.

FINALLY. I swear, the old site was mind-bendingly archaic. I'm glad to see that they've switched to the blog format and they now have an RSS feed. I largely created my own MST blog to make up for these very shortcomings. Thumbs up.

I dig the blog format, but it's a bit cluttered. Not that the old format was the pinnacle of cleanliness by any means. Still, I think they could consolidate some things to make it a little sleeker.

How is it cluttered? If you're talking about the in-need-of-editing left sidebar, then I agree. Otherwise, it's just about as uncluttered as you could ever hope for a blog to be.

Yep, the left sidebar is the big issue. There's also an problem with long links. It's alright, I'm sure they'll work the kinks out.

I don't like the grey color for their paragraphs, it's just a bit too light, and a little hard to read (especially if one's monitor isn't brand new). Perhaps a slightly darker shade of grey? Otherwise, it's a great re-vamp, just some minor tweaks and they're good for another 10 years...

Finally the "this day in history" is separated from the actual content. That thing stopped every "poll this site for changes" bot I threw at it.
Unfortunately, that means "this day in history" will always show up as the most recent headline in the rss, but again, at least it's separate.

Well, at least they've acknowledged that the episode guide updates are taking forever. And, they still haven't updated the bit in the FAQ about where KTMA is now. It's WUCW!
Still this is pretty cool. I like that it's a blog. But, I will miss the old format. Thank God for archive.org

Finally is right! Like a breath of fresh air. Yet the old format was so ..... comfortable.

Not bad. And it really was time for an upgrade. The old page was burned into the back of my eyeballs.

Oh they're using php, good deal. It has a much cleaner look.

Yet the old format was so ..... comfortable. I concur, the old format was like an old sweatshirt. Too big and impractical, but I loved it just the same. Sometimes my metaphors aren't as good as I intend them to be. Ah well. Pour some out for the old site.

I kind of liked the older format better. MST3K was born around the same time the Internet started to become popular, and the Satellite News site reflected upon that. That almost gave it a unique "antique" style.

While I don't mind the new look of the site, I have to say that I'm at a loss to see a point to the change.
Though I guess if it's a matter of simple aesthetics, then if the majority is pleased it's not a bad thing.
