Nice, more space, shorter loading time. Efficiency has been increased.

If I removed the fun little animated "stardust" NG logo from the BBS (here's a secret - try clicking and dragging your mouse around the logo!), and made the "POST NEW TOPIC" button higher, more horizontal and less vertical... We could gain a good 75 pixels of space before users have to start scrolling down. The page might also load two seconds faster and be less likely to cause seizures. Your thoughts?
Well, I personally like the little bugger, but someone mentioned that two seconds can mean a lot on a slow computer. My computer isn't slow, but I can't think of just myself. How about the hundreds upon hundreds of other NG users?
An seizures? I've never personally had epileptic seizures and besides, there are TONS of other things on NG that could cause that. And have you ever had an angry mother or lawyer come to you saying "poor little Timmy's dumbass had an epileptic seizure while he was licking the stardust logo." I say keep it. Why lose a good thing?
Sorry to change the subject but I just found a cat dynamics ripoff page http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/robocat/

d'I mean logo
Personally, I think you should revamp the BBS, and Make it longer to load. Besides, all those new flash movies and games coming out require a comp wit a decent processor to be able to run them efficiently. Besides, if you ,make it take longer, that will force little Timmy to beg his mom to buy him a faster comp and dsl connection so his undressing games load faster. In turn, that will boost the economy and lower taxes. Good huh? SO you see Tom, one simple change in the BBS will ultimately create a cataclismic fluctuation in our economy. Now imagine if you completely revamped the PORTAL page. Now that would create a huge catalyst which would hark in a major change in the way our whole society thinks and behaves. So you see Tom, you and Newgrounds have to power to change the entire world for the betterment of all mankind.

What in hell that mean?
Bin the little logo, it's not needed. 75px is a lot.
One thing......on the portal movie that you have just clicked, couldnt you show...say....the last 5 reviews rather then seeing the one. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Dude, if you can't beat that guy then i hate to say, but youre one sorry ass dude. Just shoot what he throws at you. Soon hell get exhausted, and when he does just shoot at him repeatedly until he starts throwing shit at you again. Rinse and repeat.
yes, Tom, Please!
Loading faster is a very good idea! cutting down on the size of some of those new ads would aslo help, Geez they're tossing in some HUGE ads at the TOP of the pages.,...

Well hot damn... I especially like the VERY SMALL disclaimer at the bottom:
"Site idea borrowed from the "Cat Dynamics" section of Newgrounds.com. Roboticat is not in any way affiliated with Cat Dynamics or Newgrounds.com"
Heh...

do it, as long as takes less than 6 hours to do
ANYTHING that improves site access and performance is welcome ... the sluggish response time of NG is the only bad thing about the site (but it's a REALLY bad thing!).
REmove it and get rid of a little chunk of ng history, or, leave it and sacrifice 2 seconds of load time and efficency. I say keep it and shift it elsewhere, hence load time seems faster, top loading pages that is, and well you can give yourself a seizure if you don't want to work anymore. Hey best of both worlds. Keep it, just shift it.
