View Full Version : Matt and Kwanza's House of Nerdosity
Kwanza and I have been working on a few projects for a while now, some of which were just launched tonight. The most obvious is the new layout with universal profiles. Pretty sexeh, eh? This is going to be part of a bigger set of projects we have brewing behind the scenes. We're also happy to announce the return of the Ban Kamp.
With anything technical like this, there's bound to be bugs popping up here and there. So if you see anything, we have a bug report thread (http://forums.explosm.net/showthread.php?t=19605) open for any such errors.
We've got a lot more site things coming, some of which might actually be at least remotely exciting to anyone but Kwanza and myself. Stay tuned!

The Western Sahara advertisements in my way don't give out a cosy feeling.

Haha, I love the random welcome feature! But having the menu bar placed at top kind of look best.
Love the new user features, though. <3

Oh cool. I didn't notice the new thing until I read there was a new thing.
Y'know like the writing on the navigation bar turns orange when you roll over it? I think the space behind the writing should turn orange, or gray. Jus sayin. There's your feedback.

Can't tell you how much I like this new change, the forums needed some "sprucing up." With the Bankamp back I finally feel like it's Explosm again.
I think this really adds to the quality of the C & H comics.

wouldn't it be better to finish older projects first?
like the TRANSLATION PROJECT .....
The translation project is dependent on a bunch of other things. Plus, Rob is mostly in charge of it all.

The directory being on the side rather than the top will take some getting used to, but I don't mind.
I like how with each page I am wished hello in a new way.
EDIT: Ban Kamp means no more infract right? :boogie:

Reason: 'lol', 'tho' are not words. Clean up your grammar and don't post like a retard.

But other than that, eet ish verreh sexified! :hmm:

Universal profiles are a good idea, not too fun to make, though. I assume, I've only considered it and then been lazy and not even started on the same.
The menu doesn't stand out enough. Maybe space it so it's not at the top corner, which is easy to look past. A little expansion might help as well. Cyanide and Happiness may also be non-intuitive for people who aren't used to it, so maybe include the word 'comic' somehow. And the 'stuff' section of the menu doesn't seem to have any sub-links right now. So a little on the front end should be worked on. As for the nerd crap, though, I like it.

Stuff/site sub-links only show on the main site, as the forum sub-links only show on the forums.

I beg of you, remove the interactive flash at the top. I remember other websites that went totally down the tubes, because of flash ads. When I browse around Explosm, I usually open 10 different tabs, but with interactive flash ads, it gets nasty :O
Other than that, I like the new design. Seems kinda out of place, but it's just a question of getting used to it.

Question: With the ban kamp, what happens to the yellow/red card system?
