Not sure, but my productivity at work went up by a whopping 10e5%.

Here is the thread that was buried in the Adventure Chat Forum....

I guess it is up to CJ to make the final call, but seems dead in the water at the moment.

edit: off topic, but what's up with the forums and main site going on and off?  :'(

My productivity at home went up, too....  Maybe this could be incorporated as a "feature" in the new website?  You'd check a box saying "currently working on a game" and then your IP would be added to a list which would make the forums randomly inaccessible to you.   
       At any event, I predict either a glut of newly completed games or babies will be brought into the world nine months from now.

I've got the current version of the new site implemented as my default link for AGS, myself. Anyone who doesn't want to search around for it, the link is right here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/newsite/Home.aspx).

There are still some unimplemented features (marked with a TODO), but it does the trick, the site feels good to browse and I think the design is pretty solid. If CJ decides to change it to the site default, I would be fully behind that. The old/current site surely does what it needs to, but I thought that with all of the community input that went into the new version regardless of their likes/dislikes, it's good and someone ought to be browsing through it.

And I just absolutely love the blue and orange rating cups and disclaimer icons in the games page that I made. It's been so long since I've visited  that new layout, I forgot about them.

That is great, SpacePirateCain, I've now changed that to my AGS link in my Opera speed dial ;D

If I may make a suggestion, instead of this message under the Windows 98, 95, ME portion of downloads:
Sorry, but AGS no longer runs on these versions of Windows. Upgrade to XP!

Why not list the last version of AGS that does? I'm sure there are people out there that still use Win98 and can't (for whatever reasons) simply upgrade to XP... or just plain don't want to.

It might well be an issue of (commercial) support. What version(s) is Pumaman supporting these days?
