Everyone has great suggestions. We're going to strive to strike a balance between what everyone wants. That being said, I think there is one thing everyone can agree on, and that's the fact the layout needs a makeover.
We'll soon have a more bloggy style layout, but I really hate to call it that. It's more of a feed. And through the feed we'll be posting news, reviews, editorials, etc. Rather than having our content segregated into specific boxes all over the place, it will all be in one place, with a way to get to more of that specific type of content. So if it's reviews you crave, you can filter out the news. If you like to read breaking news, you can filter out everything else. We're trying to give you a lot more choice. You'll even have your choice between a white or black site.
Oh and I'll reiterate something I said previously. Manifesto is just our content stream for now. Soon the daily manifesto, will be going back to being DAILY. It will be much more meaningful, and will a lot of times have a more community focus to it.
We aren't trying to be anyone else, we're trying to carve out our own niche in this online world of gaming sites. We want to be unique, but still be competitive, so we'll have a little bit of everything. What will separate us from the rest, is that our little bit of everything we put out
will be good.

The original plan was to roll everything out at the end of this month, but a more realistic expectation is to see most of the new layout changes to arrive around the first of the new year. We're going into 2011 full steam.
