I am going to love to move out of GameSpy. Sundays suck here, the forum becomes slow and there are system maintenances all the time.

I'm sure it's addressed somewhere that I can't find, but approximately when is the move supposed to occur, or is it too early to tell?

I know what needs fixin'... the metroid fusion art section, there is still a huge chunk missing in that part.

Thirding the Metroid Fusion art section.

In the Metroid Prime 2 Music section, the Voice Acting Collection Zip File is somehow messed up. None of my programs (which include Windows Movie Player, Media Player Classic, Audacity, and the Windows Browser) can open up the resulting music files after extraction, always citing some sort of "problem". I want to replace that annoying "virus database updated" message for Avast with a WAV version of "Data received", dammit! XD

Try VLC media player. it wins everything.

But they're MP3s. xD;; And Audacity is a sound-editing program - shouldn't it be able to handle ANY music file I throw at it? And add iTunes to the list of players that can't play it - well, actually, it can, just nothing happens when I press "play". Furthermore, the file is only 1 second long according to the Windows Browser and iTunes - and this is the file where the comp says "Data received", which I'm sure takes more than one second.

MP3 is just encapsulation. it's the codec it's encoded with that determines it's playability.

I am having an issue with the board. Yes I know you are working on it, But I just like to point out that I was edtiting a post and when I added to it to write a long post the scroll bar keep scrolling up automatically to its center. I move the cursor down and it does the same thing, I even tried hitting the down arrows. As soon as you place your mouse within the txt box it will move up automatically. It makes it very hard to write a post.
Maybe it was fluke I dunno, just wanted to tell you.

The manga pages have been fixed (you couldn't read anything earlier, but let me know if there's anything still broken).

With the RSS and Samus link taken care of, this should be all the major fixes from the move. There are still a few broken images and URLs buried across the site, but we'll get on those over the next few weeks...

But if there's anything that makes it difficult or impossible for you to enjoy the site or its contents, please continue reporting!

If there's anything screwed up with the RSS still, Jesse will fix it when he gets back :)

More minor thing, but I notice that in the music section for SM, the theme for Ancient Tourian (aka Lower Norfair) is incomplete.

Which version? There's like three copies on there. The Sound in Action versions of the tracks are nearly all incomplete. The album was rather poorly designed.

Sound in Action is what I have. Apart from the arranged tracks, I'm going to delete the whole bunch - thanks for pointing htem out!
