- Not only is the world going 7/7/07 crazy today, but we are too, celebrating exactly TEN YEARS of News Askew on the web — Wow, that’s a LONG TIME. Ten years. In porting over the redesign and news database for the new site you’re now viewing, we had the chance to look back on our travels and experiences since we started posting on the web back in 1997. What a long, fun ride it’s been. We’re very happy to continue to provide your almost daily dose of View Askew news, and thankful for those of you that have been with us, whether it’s for 10 years, 1 year, or 1 week. It’s readers and scoopers like yourselves that keep this site alive, and have made it the success that it is. Today’s new site represents a fresh beginning for the next ten years, and presents the most advanced base for News Askew that we’ve ever had.
Let’s learn more about the new site, including what’s done, what’s NOT done, what’s on the horizon, and more. We’ve also got your weekend edition of News Askew, so let’s not forget about that (the show must go on, after all, despite our lack of sleep squashing site bugs). And of course, let’s again say THANK YOU to each and every one of you for keeping the site alive, and of course to Mr. Kevin Smith, who pays the bills and keeps this site coming your way.

The first to register and first to comment on the new site. Congrats.
We have so much more to do as far as the design and features go here. We’ll have more about that in the next update, of course. We were racing against the clock with this one, and unfortunately the clock won, but hopefully the new features and streamlined approach can make up for the bugs and basic design, until we can catch up.
Thanks!

Ah, what the fuck. I had like 60 comments logged on the old site… I was winning. The new site doesn’t even keep track.
It looks sweet though. My favorite is the upcoming events calender, the old one s-u-c-k-e-d. I look forward to toying with it more. SWELL FELLAS!

Thanks all. We’re listening to everything that’s been said, and will only make this baseline even cooler. More news later today on some future plans, and what we’re already working to improve. Glad you like it, though.

Way to go guys! I dig the simplicity of the blog style, as the previous design seemed a bit cluttered. The site looks fucking GREAT!
Thanks for keeping us all up to date on what’s going on in the askewniverse. I sincerely appreciate all of the effort you’ve continuously put into this site. Keep it up!
10 Years! Can you believe it? Congratulations!
Here’s to another ten! Cheers Brad and Chris!
