Things are afoot! If you ever use MalexMedia.Net™ or its associated services, this news post applies to you!
I've mentioned before that I'm currently working on a number of major new changes to MalexMedia.Net.™ These changes will ultimately alter the overall look, feel, organization, and capabilities of the web site.
Even with all the major overhauling I'm doing, I really only have two overarching goals: 1) Make MalexMedia.Net™ and all associated services easier to use. 2) Increase the capabilities of the Malex Media Network's™ media distribution services for our Client Services as well as our own internal projects. (This goal has two main subgoals: Add Features and Improve Scalability.)
At this point, I need everyone who uses this site to come up with a wishlist of things they want to see. The more people mention something, the more likely I am to actually work on it.
Here's the current list of things I'm planning to do in no particular order:
* I've already coded major improvements to the chat room. Complete rewrite and hundreds of new features. (Post ideas about the chat room and I'll confirm if they're already done or likely to happen, etc.)
* The new MalexMedia.Net™ will have a full-featured private message system. Let me know if you have any questions about this specifically.
* Channels at the new MalexMedia.Net™ will be much easier to navigate. When viewing a Splicky Mission, Malex Minute episode, etc., you'll be able to simply click "Previous" or "Next" to see other media from that series! (This is personally one of my highest priorities. It should make the user experience much smoother.)
* Media Nodes on the new MalexMedia.Net™ should be MUCH cleaner in their appearance and organization. Details aren't yet hammered down, but I'm planning on reducing the amount of overall clutter on the page in order to make better use of the screen real estate we have. (For example, information about the media will appear in a block to the right, with downloads appearing in a block immediately below that, etc.) In addition, I'm hoping to have some fields (such as the Transcript in Malex Minute episodes) collapse on page load, so they are only visible if the user explicitly wants to see them.
* I'm planning to CLOSE the MalexMedia.Net™ Store. It will no longer be a confusing, cancerous tumor on the main MalexMedia.Net™ site. It will eventually be replaced with a completely separate shopping cart which should be much simpler and easier to use. However, there's no telling how long that transition will take, so you should get your orders in while you can! (This cancerous tumor might be confusing, but at least it works!)
* To reflect the new organization of the site, I will be launching a private advertising network which we will use to internally promote products, services, projects, and anything else we feel like promoting. In addition, screened, third-party advertising will show up on this ad network from sponsors and partners who have paid a small fee for the privilege. This internal ad network will completely replace the Google Ad banner on MalexMinute.com.
* SermonMP3s.com sermons will no longer appear here at MalexMedia.Net,™ despite being published by the Malex Media Network™ for SermonMP3s.com customers. This means that you won't find sermons clogging up the recent posts page or the various audio pages.
* Speaking of SermonMP3s.com services, customers of SermonMP3s.com will have the option of Searching & Sorting in their sermon tables. This will allow their visitors to find exactly what they're looking for without paging through hundreds of sermons. (If you're interested in SermonMP3s.com or have suggestions for features which would benefit SermonMP3s.com customers, please contact me directly.)
Many of the things on this list are either far along in the planning stages or actually finished in my laboratory environment. However, none of the new changes will show up here until they are all ready to go.
Don't forget to post a wishlist of ideas for me to work on! Even if you see your favorite idea on this list, mention it anyway!

Especially all the fresh graphics I get to make! Some of the graphics on here now are really stale, because I was new at SVG graphics back when I made them. But now I feel confident that I can make graphics with a new, long-lasting professionalism, while silumtaneously making them attractive. 
Don't you remember how we all thought it was so awesome when you first made it?

) but if it's fixable ... please do 
) that shouldn't be any problem at all.
) I love Kenshin for all the reasons you mentioned (morals, message, humor 
). I think Kenshin is infinately better than DBZ (the show might be ok, but the manga is actually pretty inapropriate 
)
