One important thing that Mick didn't mention:
We haven't received a huge amount of feedback from outsiders. The last few days Mick and I have been involved in private chats with a few people discussing the new site, mostly from outside the MK8 community however.
We're looking from feedback from everyone, since the site update will affect all people. We don't want to change the system in a way that people aren't going to be happy with. Unfortunately, without feedback it's hard to make design decisions during development.
Mainly what we want are suggestions for features, and things that should be changed compared to the original site. Also, anti-features, or things to avoid. Feel free to discuss this on this thread or in private communication with any of the team members.
Even if your suggestion has already been thought of, don't hold back because you assume it is. Telling us the suggestion will assure us that the feature is desired.
Happy Karting!
