AHHHHHHH! No.....NOOOOOOOO! Myspace is GAY!!!!!!!

It would be funnier if all level icons were replaced with the plunger.

That's it?

Come on, I'd expect more from you.

Tom, the new banner for the new layout is about 1 pixel to big, see?

FAKE!

AAAAHHH! It's so convincing!

Maybe, I am not very good at CSS. At least I don't have to see the AH banner, I have already bought it.

April FUULS!!!!

bah. A black navbar and BETA 2.0 written on the logo is not what a site redesign makes.us

you can't fool us, Tom.

The layout looks great!

But we still have to wait :'(.
Nice job though and i cant wait....( LITTERALLY) for the new features!

Boo. Hiss. Get off the stage.

it doesnt seem like a joke it could be but like years back when he did the Mcdonalds thing that was obviously a joke this is just black so it could be serious although it wouldnt take as long as it did just to do this.

This is the April Fools joke this year? Wow. You put more effort into Numagrounds. :\

Huh?

Stamper mocked up over 100 different headers and navbars before we finally settled on the new look for NG. We think it's much more fresh and current than what everyone is accustomed to, but don't worry, in time you'll adjust to the new style!

Wtf do you mean?

Ross and James have re-coded the entire NG back-end from scratch, so you'll notice the site is running A LOT faster now. That's been the biggest and most challenging phase of the redesign, rewriting and optimizing old code that went all the way back to 1999. We've now laid the groundwork for all the new features that we've been planning ever since the redesign began!

Hmm, it has been going quicker(maybe from Fasterfox/Firefox add-on).

Code junkies will also notice that we are using CSS for our background stylings and fonts, although we weren't able to move towards a completely CSS layout; in order to do so, we would have had to simplify the layout way too much and we would have looked like every other bland CSS site. We think we have a perfect amount of CSS that ensures pages will load faster while still looking good, so coupled with the new back-end, the site should roar.

TL:DR

Tim has spent months preparing new hardware, so we have additional web and database servers carrying the load as NG continues to grow! We're expecting traffic to surge when news gets out about the recent changes!

No comment.

Unfortunately, due to how long the redesign dragged out, we haven't launched with ALL the new features (hence the BETA). After staring at the new level icons for the past months, Jeff is no longer happy with how they turned out and wants to redraw them. We always liked his new level icons, but we trust Jeff's judgment and we know the new icons will be better than ever. Expect to see them this summer at the latest!

Work on it.

Also, we are still dealing with some bugs pertaining to the new features in the Audio Portal, so until we get those straightened out, those features are on indefinite hold. Finally, the user pages aren't quite ready yet, either. We are still finishing the features that will afford you maximum customization of your page, so you can decorate it however you like, run fun external code and insert your favorite YouTube videos and widgets from across the web. It will be just like Myspace, only you'll be able to customize your page EVEN MORE!

People don't like Myspace that much Tom.

Be sure to Digg this news, so that it can spread to the rest of the internet! Tell them Newgrounds 2.0 has arrived!!!!!!!!!

Right Tom. I believe you.

NOT! I know the new design isn't out Tom, because it is April Fools day. Unless I see the new design, I won't believe it. Nice try TomFulp, you are not fooling me. I knew this will happen, because we got hyped over the new layout of NG, and you decide on making an April Fool's topic on the redesign of NG. I think most people are not fooled with the joke.

But then again, he's also worried about more things this year, like Castle Crashers and the actual redesign, so we have to be fair.

I didn't like this years joke that much, but w/e :)
