Taken from Drumble's Backloggery:

Remake Progress: 98% Note

Left To Do:
Extra Complex Pages: 1
Final Bug Testing
Known Bugs to Squash: 3

A Backloggery "Remake" is in the works. It won't be a different Backloggery so much as a cleaner, sexier looking Backloggery. Same layout, same info, nicer looks, cleaner code. It will also be designed around the new HTML5 and CSS3 standards which are already being supported by most modern browsers such as FireFox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. If you use one of these browsers, please ensure you have upgraded to the most recent version to best enjoy the remake.

If you are among the small percentage of Backloggery users who use IE, you will need to use one of the aforementioned browsers if you wish continue using the site. IE9 may work when it is released if Microsoft finally decides to follow web standards.

This front-end overhaul of the site will help pave the way for future back-end/feature updates which are long overdue.

Anyone else excited about this? It seems he's nearly done even though it's later than he expected. I love the backloggery, so I'm really excited to see it's new look! Slash & Storm, you both have been there a long time, has the site ever changed like this before?

I need to fix up my entire backlog (names of games, ratings, add games I've missed, etc.) I'd like it to be as precise as possible. It really is the perfect site to keep up with your gaming and meet some really cool fellow gamers who share your passion.

I'm excited to see our pages get more info and such, but I'm still ok with the old look. Just let me list my games and I'm happy XD

@Raven: Yes, that's the plan. He's planning to keep registration blocked for about a week to test the servers, and then if it goes well he'll reopen it. If not, he'll get a better server, and then reopen it.

@Andy: He's had it listed at 98% for about 2 months, unfortunately. Apparently he was really sick during January and I guess he's been still been sick this month :(

I'm also looking forward to it a lot, mainly because I'm hoping the new server is better than the old one, which goes down quite frequently.

I did not know this. I didn't have internet for like four months during that time so when I checked it again it looked like he made a lot of progress. The last I checked (sometime in November?) he was only at like 40% and said it was gonna be delayed.

I agree it does need a better server. New users need to be able to register so it grows even bigger and becomes more successful.

Honestly, I see where he's going with not upgrading right away. If the current code is as bad as he says it is, it can create the problems we're seeing. The server doesn't necessarily need an upgrade since he's fixing the code.

What he said.

Still, I do admire the site.
