The new GBAtemp is awesome! I am a Gamespot regular, and the new banner makes me feel like I am home, that's a nice touch. The forums are much noob-free than ever now, with the stricter rules and constant topic closure, Pete seriously did a brilliant job to make GBAtemp a better place to stay!
I am glad that the "Testing Area" forum is closed too, I don't post there because I find it an awful place to hang out. The forums no longer have ads now, seeing how distracting they were, I hated them and I am very happy with the change. The CNET-ad at the front page however, has amazed me because it somehow cosmetically enhanced GBAtemp's design! It just blends in so well, in a way that I can finally tolerate ads on a website's main page, as an encouragement, I will now unblock ads on my Firefox add-ons and start clicking them. All and all, there's just so much improvement on the new GBAtemp and I love it, keep up the great work, CNET!
