[quote name='CheapyD']It will have a dark background similar to the current one.
It's even a bit darker

Oh good. I feared it would be in GameStop red and white. My head would have exploded.
 
[quote name='StinkyCheese']how will the blog layout be cheapy? will the newest posts be on the front page ala destructoid, or will they be accesible through peoples profiles?[/quote]
Several different ways...

There are Latest Blog Post and Popular Blog Post modules that you place on your customizable home page if you wish.

Also, there is a CAG Blogs home page which will show the most recent articles. You can optionally view only articles from your friends.

There is also a module (and page) that will show all the latest activity from your friends. Their blog activity will be listed there too.

Your latest blog post is also posted on your profile page.
 
oh my god CHANGE!?!?!?!?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

actually i loved when CAG upgraded from it's ghetto version so i'll be lookin' forward to this.
 
[quote name='wubb']I'll read about wow's daily adventure in the OTT[/QUOTE]

Of course you will, that's because my blog is going to be called "The Five People You'll Meet In The OTT" and you're #1!
 
i have to admit... i'm kinda excited and looking forward to it. its been talked up for damn near two years now, i cant imagine any long time CAGs who are not curious about it.

the most promising feature to me is the customizable homepage... i think cheapy had mentioned that. so i can just see threads related to things i'm interested in. there is a lot of content in the forums, and its easy to lose sight of great deals as they get buried under piles of posts. i'm going to celebrate by finding a cheap ass deal on Scene It for the 360...

Great!

 
[quote name='joe2187']I'll shave my head bald and tatoo CAG on the top of my head.[/quote]That would be awesome. But may I suggest just writing CAG with a marker or sumpin instead of the tattoo?

[quote name='StinkyCheese']Excited :bouncy:[/quote]You should be. Some of the stuff looks amazing.
 
[quote name='lordwow']Will the site be going down for the update?[/quote]
Yes. At the very least, the forums will have to be taken down for a few hours.

My guess is that the new site will go live closer to the end of Tuesday, than the start.
 
I am truly going to miss the appropriately 'behind the curve' aesthetic of CAG. It's got a quaint charm.

That said, the timing of the upgrade is a perfect time to begin my "CAG Villain of the Year" efforts in earnest. My blog alone should lock that up...zealots.

[quote name='uberpwner93']How will you celebrate?[/quote]


I'll celebrate by trying to squeeze one more game of Halo 3 out of my 360 Elite before it fails.
 
[quote name='VanillaGorilla']So what the hell is going to be different, besides blogs?[/quote]
Nothing. You'll hardly notice a difference.

Wait and see. It's very close.

Good luck with it, Cheapy. I hope it goes painlessly.

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']so CAG is officially changing it's name to myspace?[/QUOTE]

Yes, I'm kinda worried the site will focus less about game shopping and more on communities.
 
I hope cag 2.0 is still friendly with it's redirects. My work's filter block cheapassgamer.com but will allow the redirects from cheapgamer cheapyd and cagcast.

The home page is very customizable...if you don't give a shit about blogs, or friends, or any other new features...you will never see them.

If you want to simply continue using the forums as you do now, none of the new stuff will affect if you don't want them to. The only difference to you will be a new sleeker, more attractive, and simpler forum style.

I'm looking forward to a redesign, the forums are fun but the homepage leaves much to be desired. I'm glad that a lot of the new features will be optional, that is a good move on your part. No bitchin' from the peanut gallery that way.

I just wish you would have started the game collection thing a month ago, I just started to put one together on GameTZ since IGN is just awful.
 
I think it's safe to say that our game collection system will blow away both GameTZ's and IGN's systems
