Your my boy, although I do tend to yell at you whenever you make the GSP is better than Silva argument. And really and truly man I liked the old layout better, and I understand that it’s not coming back so its time to move on (Up next a trip down memory lane ending with a point to be made):

I discovered your site, not off of some search engine or even through word of mouth, but instead from your CBS Sports articles. I said wow a writer who knows his shit and someone who I can disagree with. Then, while other sites were just pushing out news updates which I’m bound to of found out through the usual press releases, you were dishing out opinions that made me a loyal reader. (Side note: isn’t the point of UFC, Affliction, etc. to promote fights, so in the end why would they withhold general information) The point is, keep it up. For all the insider information to be coming to your site, never replace your voice.

My only question is why not keep sharing info from other sites until you get more time from you and your staff dedicated to the site? I come here specifically because I don’t have to go to other sites as well because I know that even if you don’t scoop the news, you’ll pass it along.

“We believe this format change will help us eventually monetize the site better so that one day 5 Oz. is my only responsibility. And when that happens, the amount of exclusive content you see from us will skyrocket.”

That’s great, but how about when I want to know what the latest news is tomorrow and you’re still working four jobs and training? Why do exclusive-only content and a new web design have to be mutually exclusive concepts?

Please consider passing along until you have more time. I understand that in the battle of media companies breaking news is key. It just seems like you’re saying you won’t win that war until you are full time and in the meantime you won’t pass along either. I don’t get it.

If clicking four or five banners a day means Sam and his crew can make a little scratch and devote more time to 5 Oz., then I’ll do it.

Speaking from an objective design perspective, the new site looks great. A few tweaks here and there, sure, but overall, it’s a home run.

This sites cool. my only suggestion would be to have a public forum or maybe a link on the site to the chat room.

“he best part about the old style was that I could check it a couple times a day and read down until I hit an article I had already seen. It was a no-brainer to get all the new info and get off.”

My feelings exactly. Archive page would be a great solution!

Sorry for the rant, just displeased. There is a reason readership has continually increased: CONTENT, not 2.0 or 3.0…. You guys do awesome interviews and keep up to date quite well. Keep it up. You should so a fantasy league on this site. I am in another and the site sucks.

Just a thought. I really like this site and visit it on a daily basis. I don’t mind e-zines, but only time will tell how accessible the information is. The best part about the old style was that I could check it a couple times a day and read down until I hit an article I had already seen. It was a no-brainer to get all the new info and get off.

As casual readers, we like to read things in a a chronological order.
Please do date all posts and create an ‘archive section’ where you store all the major news&stories by dates. So we can click on a link with any given date and see every post you made on that day.
