User blog:D. Cello/It's Wednesday, Wednesday, gettin down on wednesday...
And here we are! After months of torture and intense effort, we finally arrive at the last "getting down post"! Challenge COMPLETED!
And now, to the news!
Over the last couple of months, during the development of the new main page portal, we have been secretly creating a new system -- completely revamping the current structure, the new portal system looks awesomer than your wildest dreams, and is also pretty, and sexy, and overall badass - in fact it achieves a level of awesomeness usually reserved for Chuck Norris or Teddy Roosevelt.
Made by our very own User:Animusradiation, who's been working with me behind the scenes for the past month to achieve legendary status, I present you...

Redefining the concept of main page links and giving a new meaning to the word "beatiful internet portal accessy thing for wikis", this new portal, artwork by AR and future coding by the awesome creator of the main page portal system Tierrie (who by the way have the awesomest and cutest user avatar I've ever seen -- a doglobster *-*), this new portal shall come online in the upcoming months. Though we have no set date for release yet, but all effort (almost all effort) is being poured in and we are working around the clock (no we aren't, we have lives too XD) to make it the perfect fit for the new main page as quickly as possible.
Below me (heh) there are screenshots of the prototypes, each picture corresponds to a panel of the new portal who will slide and click just like our current one. Check it out!

The grey sections will eventually be filled with listing, info, pictures or more. As said, it's a work in progress.
In another little bit piece of news, we are now officially working on a partnership with another gaming wikis -- more info on that in the future.
One more thing: today, 08/17, it's our Camerlengo's User:Vatsa1708 birthday! Kick him to the curb and proclame his love for him in the comments with birthday hugs, kicks, eggs and... CAKE!
And that is all for today. Post your comments below -- me and the staff want to hear your oppinions on the new portal system! Safety and peace, and a good week to all.
Cello out.
