Insert Coin Redux Update
Maybe we need an art director. Yoda can you transfer all the news we posted there? We have build up a nice database!
Launch on Nov 1st? Cool! Can't wait to see it. 
Magazine > Newspaper. 
But yeah I'd say GGWeekly should be shown a little more the center focus of it all. I have to admit the idea of any user being able to post news and then have them and others discuss about it sounds like a fresh new and addicting way of site posting.

One of the site's forefathers.
Play fighting games!
Cannae wait.
Thinking about it, make that November 2. The front page will be updated each Sunday.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile
Sounds like a lot of work Yo. I have been doing my javascript training and it's brutal. I hate it.
Make sure to use Firefox if you're working with JavaScript; its error reporting is a lifesaver.

Great job Yo. Can't wait to check it all out and having a forum will be really sweet.
Really? So if I open up the text file using firefox it will tell me about all the problems? How exactly?
If you're using IE, what will happen is a box will come up and say something along the lines of
"Syntax Error
Line: 24 character 3"
And nothing more, and that's only if you've got debugging enabled, and if you're lucky enough for it to not just say "Line 1 Character 1". Gotta love the message "Undefined Runtime Error." It will also only maintain one error in the history.
Firefox's error messages are far clearer, show the file it originated, shows the text for the line of the error, and a link to open up the file itself and jump right to the line.
You'd find it under Tools->Error Console, but I'd suggest getting Firebug not only because it's an invaluable tool in its own right, but displays the number of errors clearly on the status bar, and you can just click that to bring up the error list and info.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileI used it the other day. It picks some stuff up and tells you the line. Great stuff. It missed a couple of minor errors, but I think the browser didn't notice. I used Javascript and flash to do an animated banner, buttons that change when you mouse over them and a digital clock and animated GIF of windows.

Development on the new Insert Coin has been ongoing for a while now, and by the end of this weekend I'll have finished the editorial functionality on top of the already finished Forum, design and navigation.
With that I can confidently set the target launch date of the new site as November 1. This leaves basically only touch-ups before room for the next couple weeks for implementing fun new additions.
On the weekend of the 25th, I will post another update blog with the new site name and address so that everyone's ready for the transition on the 1st.
I remain open to design style suggestions, though, as I'm just not 100% happy with the current design that emulates a newspaper, but am unable to improve on it in that style.
