MIA and the downfall of Mania.com

(Sat 05/03/2008 11:45am)
For over a year I endured the developing world in Eastern Europe to come back to modern America. This modern America has been difficult to readjust too. What with all the obsession over actors, not real actors but wealthy people, and the overly rich athletes. Plus I went from getting a lukewarm shower every four days to any time I want (plus the whole drinkable tap water is fantastic!!!).

The one solace I've had in my readjustment to this "culture" is what my passion was before sci fi.

A bit before I left there was something called cinescape.com. A site that I used several times a day to get my kick of comics, movie news, trailer updates, and the random collection that is sci fi. Then mania.com took it's place and I adjusted. Heck I started blogging at the site and quickly came to enjoy the interaction between users.

Now this.

I hate this site. It's layout is clunky, less interactive, gives an ugly as sin avatar to begin with, makes the main page narrow while color fills the sides, and the front page...seriously...I preferred the pictures instead of little lines.

I'm missing in action for a year mania and you've screwed up your site! Want to make it attractive and change your logo? Sure thats fine. I like the new logo but expand the center and change the frontpage. It's like this site is trying to be the next myspace.

If this keeps up I'll have to rely on everything from IGN...
