Alright, we all know what I've been posting about the new changes to v5 and it looks awesome. Hopefully, this post will give a little more about this without me getting all *SPOILER* on you guys.
With v4, we implemented several features on the site to help you all find out more about us, when we stream, and various other stuff like Archives, Cast Blogs, and Forums. With v5, we're going to take all of that to the next level. v5's primary focus (site-side) will be on our Forums and Cast Blogs. Why is this? Because we want to have that community feel no matter who you are. Whether your a veteran TGS/TGSR follower and followed us all the way from v1 or if you're just now looking into TGS/TGSR and want to know more, we want your thoughts. Between the Blogs and the Forums, this is going to be our vent out to each of our community members to learn what you all want to see out of us.
With that being said, the biggest remaining change is our Link Bar. For those that noticed a minor change in the bar around a month ago, that was due to the v5 changes and you'll see that this weekend. However, I cannot go into exactly how it will look or stuff like that (falls under *SPOILER* territory), but that doesn't mean that I can't say this. It will make it 100x easier to navigate to the various parts of the site.
Some other changes will be as follows:
- Complete revamp of the forum tags
This is already implemented, but due to it being part of v5 the specialized tags are not available to members not in the Beta Tester group or any admin group. - Chat Boxes 2.0
More functionality with the new chat boxes to allow stuff like popping out the chat for any chat you see on the site. - New Media Player
Optional Pandora Internet Radio popout so you can listen to your tunes while checking the site out.
So, there will be some goodies in this version you can look forward to. Be sure to check the Home Page and the Forums this weekend for more information about all of the changes. This won't be a version of the site you'll want to miss.
