That's right.  If you are seeing a weird presentation of ratemyserver.net at the moment, make sure you press F5 to refresh your browser.  This is my first greetings to all of you in 2010.  After looking at the same layout for years (3 years at least?) aren't you glad there is finally something new?  I know it's not a complete makeover -.-, that is because there are too many elements on the site that need to be changed to match a complete makeover.  So there are only slight changes for the better while keeping the overall theme unchanged.
         
Other than the layout, improvement to site navigation is another focus.  Notice there is now a menu bar at the top of the page.  It's to increase accessibility to the third column menu links when viewing two columns pages.  There are not a lot of links on there yet, I am leaving some room for growth.  The only new pages up there are the Random Review and Random Server pages.  Try them and see for yourself.
         
The year's plan for RMS so far is to improve the review system both in layout and functionality.  There were many great suggestions made to the review system that need to be implemented.  I am fully aware that another update is due to catch up with the current RO server presentations and players searching requirements.  Depending the amount of changes need, I can't say when it will be completed.  Especially routine database updates will likely to go in between.
         
That concludes my quarterly report for RMS lol.  If you still see things misplaced or errors on pages, you should report them to me.  Or feel free to make any suggestion for the better.  More change is yet to come, stay tooned!

Hope you like the new look.  Thanks for reading.

Looks awesome yC! Good job. I really like the design; the old one was starting to bore me. <<

And so you killed yourself,
but you killed everyone else around you too.

I still hate the fact you left the can of coke on my head.

Awesome layout, it's nice to see something new for once.

Btw, I wonder if this was intentional:

The new design looks much more appealing ;) Good job ^^.

I was wondering, was it on purpose that... the higher review scores have a red font colour at the side of each website page? -sees 95's and 100's in red while scores below 50 yellow- Were the colours switched?
Edit: Nevermind, it's now fixed =D
If the forum matches the RMS website layout or has a newer look, that'll be even cooler, but that's a lot of work xD.

I like the banner way better like this <3.

Today I went on RMS and noticed that everything looked completely different, and I'll be honest I do not like it.
The old RMS was pretty unique, and very simple. The new one looks very flashy and generic, like what you would find on any private RO server homepage or maybe some anime site. Everything looks too childish and unprofessional now :\
I understand why people might like it at first glance, after all it's newer and brighter, but I definitely liked the old RMS a lot more
people just like new things. you could have made everything black and white and they still would like it cos it's "new"

As did I recently noticed the change of the page upon visiting it. I find that the original sprites and ice effects more appealing and original then the new page.  I actually thought I stumbled upon the wrong page and was gonna report it to you guys as a phishing / scam site or something, that was until I read the announcement. All in all the theme seems rather childish and demeaning as I too thought it was a third-rate private server rather than the database I come and use daily. The header text seems un-pixelated and unprofessional, for a community as big as RMS. I don't intend to offend but it sorta looks like somebody just slapped text ontop of an image.
