Gilgrim — All I’m saying is, something about it (the character) didn’t sit well with me…unlike the first iteration of kilian that I loved from moment one. Since the wife made the comment she did I can’t get the marine connotation out of my mind.

Kerri — Yeah, I get what you’re saying about a “main” conversation, though hopefully, the “mainness” will be driven through the This Week in Normality posts as we present a new theme every week.

I agree it’s a bit too much white space, but I do think its better than the too much dark space of the last, and thankfully gone, revision. And we haven’t added forums because you can still comment on every post and…we don’t have enough readers…yet…to warrant one. When our weekly readership moves up some that is something I definitely want to add.

I thought the new Kilian looked sort of like a mafia thug. Maybe it’s the wide jaw. And looking like a jock or a marine? I know guys who would DIE to look like a marine.
Thoughts on the new site: At first I was a little overwhelmed. There’s a lot to look at, and I miss that there’s not really a ‘main’ conversation thread anymore since things aren’t linear (meaning blog-like, progressing one post at a time). I was a little disappointed too that with all that’s going on on the site no one added a forum. The voting link is gone too, as is Gilgrim’s Twitter. From a design standpoint I think the background could be darker, right now it’s just this big white thing with a bunch of boxes of text. Seeing who’s writing each review on the frontpage would be nice too. I miss the old NR. I like that you’re all branching out into reviews and stuff, but I think site could be laid out a little more effectively. But hey, I’m just glad you’re all back. I missed the new comics and the weirdness.

@Kilian
Man, you’re not going to let the redesign die are you? First it’s your too fat, now it’s that you’re a jock or a marine? Am I going to have to redo this, or maybe make another ‘kilian’ so we can turn this one into a background char? Just wondering >__>

But, on another note, I have a question for you Kerri. As you are the most loyal of Normalinauts (Tengu now being a part of the production side) what are your thoughts on the new look/direction?

You know what, my wife pointed out last night that the new “kilian” looks like a jock and/or marine…both of which, i am not…

In all fairness Kilian, I think the Millenium Falcon adds at least 10 lbs.
