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. Sam,

Dub Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:12:27 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=6888#comment-50591 New thought on day three of the new site....Sam I appreciate your candor with the readers of your site and the fact that you want to be make money doing what you love - after all that is the American dream. You are not a sell-out. 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.

That's what keeps me coming back, and will keep me coming back in the future. The site may have changed it’s design, but what hasn’t changed is the quality of the writers and the writing.

Seems pretty stright forward to me, Newest items on top, 3 areas, and the Read more of the areas goes to a nice archive in chronological order...............LOL I guess I'm strange for not complaining about having to actually read and click a link for my free content.

Not bad. I have been fiddling around on here in the wee hours and I like the site. It is always hard to deal with change in any aspect. So I hope that those that don't like it very much will come around after a few days of using the new site. I hate change, but when forced to accept it, you most often find a pleasant surprise! Sam!

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.
