Looks great, good job! One little thing is bugging me though. Underground was my one-stop shop for the latest news on Underground game releases and interesting moments within the the underground community. These bulletins seem to have been lost in the new design, replaced by "New review" news items, which are fine, but they're not the real news I'm interested in. Apparently Underground news is merged with the rest of the news for commercial games etc which is a little dissapointing. I don't want to go through all that to find the Underground news items, which are the only real items I like to read up on regularly. At some point I hope you can bring back the little news bulletins to the Underground section. It was the underground news that really made AG Underground stand out from other related websites for me.

I've never seen that popup. Can you describe it more (maybe after the next time you see it)? What site is it from or what company? Maybe one of our ad networks is secretly putting in popups and hoping we won't notice.

I don't know; you pop out to the shops to buy a bottle of milk and when you come back someone has redecorated the entire place, changed the locks and even opened a little shop in the back garden.
Whats really frustrating is that it's all really GOOD and so I have nothing to whine about. Well done guys, sites looking great!

Personally (speaking as a reader for a moment) I would much more enjoy an Underground news "round up" article every 2 months or-so that just summarized what's been happening with different engines, projects, game authors, etc. along with some screenshots. As someone who might play underground games but isn't really into the UG community, individual news items just don't have enough weight on their own.

 I dunno, I feel like it should be smaller. It makes the focus so much less on the forums. Or maybe if it was at the bottom...

It was at the bottom where no one ever saw it. It's a BIG issue for us that people on the forums often don't seem to be reading the news or articles at all. A lot of forumites actually admit to rarely ever visiting the main page because they always head straight to the forum index. This 'banner' is meant to expose the new content to those people in a more convenient way.

Personally I think the new place for the banner is a great idea
 Often - as you say - I go directly to the forum and sort of forget to check the news. Not that I don't read the news, but it's mostly only cuz I go to the shop often and see it there on the right, lol Ohh and I just love this little note "payin' the bills"

The new banner is nice, great job. I used to read nearly all articles until the feed was put at the bottom, and I never bothered checking, so this is good.
Thumbs down to the "paying the bills" sign under the advert, though - it seems like someone's telling you why they have to do this and that they're sorry, just before they shoot you in the head.
