    Stoked for the new site. I'm loving the look of everything so much. Absolute Punk had an insane influence on my life. The discussions that were had there made me a better person. Can't wait to see what this site brings!

    Really excited for this change. I didn't use the forms much on AP.net so this will be an interesting change. Loving the look of the site.

    So the article discussion page kind of works like a condensed absolutepunk news page, reading headlines and then checking the comments section.

    As a 29 year old man, This is less embarrassing than telling people that my favorite website is absolutepunk.net.

  7. Exactly. I do plan to bring more of the full post into those posts soon too, but didn't wanna do that right away because I want people to get in the habit of checking the homepage as well.

    Haha, I've got 5 years on you and felt the same way. I was just mentioning to a friend (and former AP'er) earlier today that referencing Chorus.fm is a lot better than AbsolutePunk

    Do people still use the term "webmaster"? :-p

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who would like an app.
     
  13. What aspects are you most looking for in one? News? Notifications?

    I guess kind of both. Best way to describe it is like using Twitter from the web browser instead of a Twitter app. Definitely not a must have, but I think it would be nice.

    EDIT: Especially when on a phone or tablet.

    Would it be possible to put a link to the corresponding discussion pages on the news articles?
     
  16. Possibly. It's something I'm going to start without doing, on purpose, but may.

    Hooray! This is so cool, Jason. I feel so excited to explore everything that's here and I can't wait to see where this site goes in the future. Thanks for all that you do and for working so hard to retain and improve the community aspect of the site.

    Looking forward to breaking in the new community forums. Congrats on the move, Jason. Hoping this new community thrives in an even greater way than AP.net did.

    I currently use my iphone and have the AP site saved on my home screen and use it as a mobile app, the only downfall is I end up having tons of safari tabs open.
     
  20. That's how I use it most of the time as well.

    Hey now! Supporter

    Well said, @Jason Tate. Congrats.

    I went and looked at my AP profile one last time. I joined on 01/04/05 (yanks2np). It's amazing that I've been visiting a place on the internet every day for the last 11 years. I was 16 when I joined.

    Looking forward to Chorus. Everything looks awesome and the community already seems to be buzzing!
