I mean, you seriously thought we would re-design a website using Devanagari font?

Not seriously but something like Kid Cudi

This look sucks. Big time. It's not even funny.

Figured it was a prank, it's hideous, but SM could use a face lift to make it better and more usable.

I seriously thought you had switched designs.
I hate the use of that font. For anyone who can read hindi, that font plays with their head, coz you're seeing something that looks like "e" in hindi, but "S" in english.

Also, that monkey was too pixelated for my liking and I couldnt figure out what it was doing with its right hand/fingers. induced puking?

phew, so glad its just a joke.

now that the joke's over and all that drama, please change it back, please please! =/
my eyes kinda hurt.

Back? Time moves in only one direction hon :)

you seriously thought we would re-design a website ....

Hey! The monkey was the only thing I liked about that redesign!

x-(

very funny! but the 'real' new design is great!

Oh thank goodness.

Thank heavens! After yesterday, I was all like,"What IS wrong with these people?"

you know the one thing you can maybe change is BOLD commenter's name above their comment.
i dont like changes but oh well..gotta get used to it or get the eff out..

SO glad the devanagiri font was a joke. You guys have taste after all!

thank god. i knew it was a joke, but i didnt want to blow up your spot.

Awww - I liked the devnagiri font!

The "Comments" and "News" bars on the right do not show up for me? help please? I am running IE V6.0 sp2 on XP

Sometimes design can be so bad that it is actually cool, or at least passed off as such. So I thought you guys were being your usual cool selves.

This is much better. A couple of suggestions for improvement:
1. The color on both my monitors are too maroonish to be called brown. We want real brown, don't we?
2. Any way to eliminate scrolling sideways?
3. The commenter's name should really stand out from the body of the text. It also helps keep track of people and their responses as one is scrolling down the thread.

Liked the pen for i. Am I reading too much into it or is it subliminally referring to the Enfield rifle that supposedly was the final straw that triggered the Sepoy Mutiny? Of course, in a blog, the rifle would be a pen.

Good job, Avani and Chaitan.

the color for the links blends with the reg text.

I was seriously concerned. Happy April Fools?

Wheatish!

thank goodness!

oh thank you thank you... I hated that design. :)

point noted =)
forward and onward then, mutineering rockstars!

Oh, is this the spot we are supposed to comment on the new look? I mean the final one, not the Apri fool's one?

Bring back the old Sepia with it's soft, warm, brown hues. This look, with all due respect to the work that the designer put into it, is much colder, less mutiny-ish. We want that down-home feel.
