I would like to be the first to congratulate Mike on all his hard work in putting the new site together. It must have taken you ages but it looks fantastic. The archives are well set out and much easier to search…
Just a question though, why did you choose that colour red for the background, makes it look a bit grungy IMHO…
Anyway, well done…!!!
I second Hicksy about the color choice: everybody knows that BLUE websites are faster. Except for that, I must say that the new version is on top of anything we could imagine when you told us about your plans. I especially like the “Swaysmate of the month” part (as I have been expecting it for long…) Also the in-depth Skip Frye’s interview and that Cooperfish board very generously offered to the first winner of the “swaylockian of the year” poll are more than we could ask for. Thanks again, Mike. Keep up the good work!
What I don’t like is the default “white” font…My laptop can’t get the red background color, so all I see is white…kind of like a foamball…But that’s cool…I think I just need to adjust the laptop’s settings…
On my office computer everything is fine…
Otherwise this new '08 version is the best yet…!!!..
Wach U talk’n bout Willis?
Well thats too bad for you cuz Im about to launch a competing surfboard forum and take away all of Mike’s vast profits.
Its called SwayUnlocks.com…no rules…all beeoch. Like Jerry Springer.
Working on online controlled springloaded boxing glove technology so things get even’d out all by themselves.
No moderators required…after all their salaries are sucking most of Mike’s profit.
Im also launching a new brand of superhigh tech performance shorties called …Found.
Im in contract negos with Tom C.
Just wait.
Too bad for ala’yooz.
Well,He’s where you guys leave me in the dust !
I’'lllll…figure it out soon…I guess ?

I like the new format. Looks really good, thanks Mike. I was kinda bummed that I had to reregister my name, but was happily surprised when I found out that the first 20 people to re-register received free Swaylocks Tshirts and stickers. Thanks!
looks the same to me…
i also noticed that on one of the threads on the general discussion main page, it says “0 replies”.
but there is a reply in there…
am i missing something?
do i need to download something?
restart?
thanks in advance.
PS. my computer un-savvy aside, i will join with others on this thread in praise of Mike for all
his hard work to keep this bitchinest website going. great job Mike.
I don’t like it. Except for the hidden forum with pictures of chicks in bikinis.
Yeah, the new “draw” option is awesome. It allows you to draw a picture in the body of your post. I don’t like the new logo though, it reminds me too much of a dragon. The download section is probably the best IMO, there’s so many outlines and fin templates you can just download full size…woohoo, i got a free t-shirt…too bad it has the new dragon logo on it, oh well, it’s still pretty awesome.
That dragon logo is awesome! I didn’t see it the first time around. I like how Swaylocks is moving toward the younger, hipper, “rip and tear” crowd…Good move Mike.

Don’t forget the automatic entry into the online “Swaylockaholics Group Meetings.”
I really like the logo…but Swaylock putting a picture of himself on the home page is a bit over the top…
At least it should be a picture of a board or someone surfing…
Like Herb said, still the bitchinest site around!

Looking more closely, it IS a dragon… (I was sure it was some kind of mermaid… Sorry, Mike…)
I can’t believe you let Roy back in…
I’m quitting as a moderator, too. In fact I think I’ve had enough of Swaylocks for now, going to try to spend more time with my family. I hope everyone enjoyed those get-togethers. I’m sure someone will volunteer a space for the next one. Maybe you LeeV?
I knew the end was near when I converted Keith to Eps/Epoxy
The new site.
Its all good except
Roy gbiv has 13 posts in the last 4 hours
and has picked 2 arguments with people.
Are you guys going to do something
or are we going to have to vote with our feet.
Who are the moderators for the new site?

He’s got gallons of epoxy in his garage! Nothing is sacred anymore.

I saw him bathing in it, and using a small portion to make some kind of salad dressing I think?
