This is my first, of hopefully many News posts on my userpage. As you can see, it's pretty drab with no pictures and nothing really exciting going on, but that is due to the fact that I just got home from vacation.

I haven't really had a chance to talk about the redesign in detail, so I figure a good starting point would be to go through the things I like and the things I wish were added.

First of all, the things I like :

1. The New Level System : I had originally stopped depositing for my NG account because frankly, I found it pointless to log on daily to deposit and basically tread water to maintain a spiked dildo. With the new schemata, it is awesome to see that for one, the scaling system is kaputs, which means constant progress towards your next level, instead of losing your progress if you decide not to log in, and secondly, I absolutely LOVE the new look levels. Although, some of the levels are better than others, thankfully, as I mentioned before, you progress THROUGH the levels quite quickly, so it's great. So big props for that, and big ups on the graphics that the new design entails.

2. New Look Portal : I love the new Voting Bar/Review System. I think it is way more effective to have the voting shit pop up instead of take you to a new page, so I'm a big fan of that. The embedded flash is kinda eh, I like having pop ups so I can check other things while I watch the movie, but I will admit the look is way better. The opening page definitely looks more slick though, so again, good shit.

3. Auras : Even though I'm stuck with my GOLD, I still like the new look of the auras. The addition of black and purple gives a bit more variety, which is always nice, and hopefully it opens up the path to more potential auras, I'll talk more about that later.

OK, now things I'd like to see in the future for the website.

1. MORE SECRETS! The secret system has been kinda pushed aside as being moot point, with only four secrets or whatever, basically none of them having any real point (Who really uses the opportunity to post on the front page anyway?), I feel as if not having more secrets is really missing a big opportunity.

What if once you got a certain amount of exp, you gained yourself a new aura? Like, something totally out there like Orange, or Brown, or whatever. Or you could have access to custom Newgrounds avatars...like, if you hit 20,000 exp, you could use a picture of Pico as your avatar, or any of the other NG characters....it just seems like if the secrets aren't going to be updated, why not just trash them, or give them a special overhaul? I dunno, it's just a thought.

2. My webcam was removed! NOOOOOOOO.

Actually, I don't really care about that, I never uploaded any pics ever since my program originally crashed.

Anyway, let me know what you think about the whole idea with the secrets. I love these news posts, especially since you get an awesome 30K+ characters to work with.

I'm hoping that I get some visitors to my page, even if it's just to bitch about how much they hate me. ;)
