We've been hinting at this for a few weeks now, and we'll soon be ready to unveil! Red and I wanted to make sure that all of the faithful here had plenty of notice ahead of time.

This is exciting!

Next Weekend, the Scared Monkeys sites (scaredmonkeys.com, scaredmonkeys.net, Scared Monkeys Radio, missingexploited.com  and yes, even the "shoe site") are going to relaunch with new features and a brand new look.

The web sites will all be going down for maintenance the evening of Friday, July 28, 2007. They will individually return, one at a time, throughout the weekend.

A few features to look forward to include:
    - A new Scared Monkeys Logo
    - New Monkey Merchandise
    - New, easier to read and better organized blog pages
    - New forum software (simple machines)
    - New people! (we're reopening the forum doors to the public)
    - Scared Monkeys Chat (our very own chat system, not something run by a freebie third-party service)
    - RSS feeds for the Scared Monkeys Daily Commentary and Weekly Radio shows
    - Restoration of lost blog comments (an ongoing task, but the process will begin upon relaunch)
As an important side note, the current products in the Scared Monkeys Store are going going bye-bye to make room for new products sporting the new Scared Monkeys logos. So, if you've been intending on purchasing something but haven't yet made your way over there to do so, you now only have a few days remaining. When the sites close for the migration, items with the current "Papyrus Font" logo will be considered VINTAGE!  Laughing

Red and I are super excited. We hope you guys are too! We also welcome your suggestions (in this thread only, please). We can't promise we'll incorporate them, but Red and I would like to hear your requests for new features or changes.

Dugga, I would like to commend you on all the long hours you have put in to make this site something truly unique and special.

I'm looking forward to the new features and looks. Thanks again.

All I can say to this is " I wish we had a hidie-hole" room to talk about this in ~~ along with other things..
But on my wish list is an active grammer checker/dictionary for composing posts ..Yes above & beyond spell check  ...
Hey I'm a Dumb OldFart but do not want the whole/ hole world to/too know/no  Wink

and the ability to quote a LOCKED  item to copy it as it appeared
and if post hits a locked door to be able to back-arrow to copy it.

Gee this is Kinda like writting a letter to Santa  Laughing

Yes I have been OffTopic at times but more or less good  (Not counting what may be  Lala's note books)

I'd like a place to talk that isn't open to public view.

  Sounds like some  cool stuff coming our way,  Please  add my Thanks to Red, Dugga, Klaas and all involved .  Best of luck on the change .

Question - New people! (we're reopening the forum doors to the public)

  Shocked This means that any ole' Joe Blow will be able to post w/o having to be approved? If so, I fear what this wonderful place will turn into.   I sure pity Klaas and San...they will be working 10X as hard in keeping this place civil. The Ru'er and Fob'ers will filter in here like stink on shit...we will become their new battlefield.

Will we have a backup site, in case of "construction" delays or other unforeseen problems??

It sounds fantabulous!

I'm a little nervous about the forum changes, but I'll adjust ~ it's good and will keep me on my toes.  Very Happy

I'm somewhat concerned about the *reopening the forum doors to the public* . . .  Shocked  Shocked
Somehow, I picture a free-for-all with SandraK and others coming out of the woodwork ~  yikes~

I trust you all, though.  Wink  Wink

If it were only the restoration of some the early archives -- it would have been enough  Laughing

And now my original SM tank top is becoming 'vintage' Exclamation   Laughing

Sincerely -- thanks for all of you that keeps this place humming.

And keeping Natalee's true story out there. You are all very fine folk.

Deactivate is a good thing IF it deactivates the IP address...not just their forum name. Coming back w/ new name is a favorite of many.
