So we've pretty much finished our move to the new system. It's still new so people will need to get settled.
I'll start with the big changes first.
Take note of the Read More link at the bottom of "teasers". - often when browsing content in a general section like the home page, or categories you will get a list of "teasers". They only show partial content of the actual article, so you must click Read More at the bottom. (Try that out now, since this post will be longer then what you currently see).
While your down looking at that link, Take note of the #.Comments link. A cool part of this new content system is that it intergrates with our forum. Part of that is that almost every peice of content will have a thread in a hidden part of the forum. The thread will contain a very short "teaser" and link to the full article, and every reply to that thread is a comment. (Try it out on THIS post too. Take note that the first 15 comments are also displayed when viewing the FULL peice of content).

So I heard about this site that helps you find music you like. You simply put in an artist or song (or several) and it creates streaming music for you on the spot, for free.
It sounded pretty cool, so I checked it out, and I give it an excellent review. Good sound quality, very easy to use and works very well.
Try it out for yourself @ Pandora

Stealing content has never really worked well for websites, but now Ebaums world has become huge and sparked massive disgust in the internet. The makers of the funny content that gets stolen, and many other people are pretty upset. Learn the truth about the site:
Ebaums World Sucks is a site which outlines some truths about Ebaums world, and I think any visitor of that site should be aware. Eric Bauman, the site's creator is now a multi-millionaire from his undeserved success. With his money he has bought a $850,000 office building, $150,000 house and sponsored a professional boxer [Ebaums Wiki]

Skateboard-City turns 6 years old today!
I've been working hard on getting the site setup on the new system. I've managed to do quite a bit recently including convert all of the content except for the trick tips. That's next in line.
While doing that I'll try to get the new skate stories section working and figure things out content-submission wise. We've decided were not going to convert the almost 2000 stories on the old script, but keep the database and link to the old stories page on the old system...
Lot's of stuff's happening on the forum, looks like possibly 5 new moderators are coming in probably the next few days. We want to switch around a few forums and reorganize to make the boards a bit cleaner...

Hey!
I figured that the best way to go about the new system is to just get it up now. The poll works, the stories section works (its completely new) and everything else links back to old pages. So you might have a few slight problems/mix ups on the site with things not working properly but I have help, and were trying to transfer all content as soon as possible.
Enjoy!

Hey!
First post in ages! First off, the whole new content management system might be released sooner. I'm thinking of not converting all the content before release, and just linking to old pages, then working converting stuff till its done. This way we will have fully functional stories, poll.. thats more then we have now.
Slapdown has now come back to the forum staff as an Administrator, hes going to be making changes, adding moderators and changing around the forum arrangements (deleting, combining) forums...
One last thing, I've always wanted to talk to some sports trainer and find out what muscles should be trained if you skateboard. You know, whats going to give you more pop (higher ollies?), all that kinda stuff.
