All else I will say is that guy must have some hardcore faith in Sonic.

I also take the time to suggest something. When the site is running fine and you've not so much work to do... Why don't you make, European and American teams, a little special review about the past websites? I bet that many SEGA fans would love that.

It has a very clean look and the idea of saving a place for themed backgrounds is also good and pretty (as more and more websites do the same, specially for advertisement). I also thank you that you've passed from Flash to HTML. As web programmer/designer, I believe that, except for pure graphic sites (such as those dedicated to movies only), Flash files should be limited to embeded elements into HTML. Not only because of indexing purposes, but also to fulfill the W3C standars and decrease the download speed. Apart of that, working with much data in HTML is easier, because the content push the rest of content downwards and it's not necessary to worry about coordinates and dimensions. I also believe that the designers of the past version of the SEGA of Europe website deserve all our applauses. They not only made a good and pretty design but were able to keep a dynamic and massive website in pure Flash. All that connected to a DB! That's a very very hard work really. I was into that, and can swear that's a pain in the @#$. So congratulations to all them too. I also would like to show my surprise and admiration for the new and bigger role which the SEGA Europe departments have got nowdays, specially yours, the online team. In the whole history of SEGA, and in spite of the good work done in Europe, the local team never got any recognition. Even in the Dreamarena age, with Luc Houselander, Bennie Booysen, Egodreams, ICL and others doing such a huge and great job (one of the best for an online community, in my opinion), SEGA gave them the deserved merits. Congratulations for that too. Finally, I hope that the new concept of SEGA West get success and we see many good things come from that. Specially to empower the community of SEGA loyal fans.
