haaaah talk about aging yourself HDzy2kBabe.... My name was a
nickname in middle school... I'm now a junior in college :)
Maybe it's because I have been on this site since 99' (which you
can tell by my cheesy screen name -- and holy crap, I feel old)
but I don't know how I feel about the whole social networking
facelift. I might be in the minority here, but I kind of like it
the way it is. I network with my friends, etc on Facebook and
Myspace.
Oh, and furthermore, there are alot of younger girls on this site
(12-15yrs of age), and some of them (maybe most of them) may not
foresee the consequences of posting personal information-
especially pictures of themselves on a site that literally
millions of people have access to. Youtube and myspace already
have the ruining futures and lives thing down, kiwibox should
remain a safe haven and be as anonymous as possible.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how do you get to the public
postboards? Or is this just going to be another knockoff of
myspace, kind of like what hapened to bolt.com?
i agree with mickeymouse91!!!! love it!
i can has kiwibox 2.0?
i'm lame, i know. i dont care. :)

i love it!! theres nothing else toiti love it!!!
Hmm, where are the old-style postboards on the new version? I see
the my.postboards, but not the regular site ones.
I love it! Where was this when I was an SE? Haha.
Please give us an option instead. It looks a bit like MySpace and
I already go there. I love the original layout with the kiwi
background and everything. Right now, I have Kiwibox as my
homepage on my browser. But if you're going to change the layout,
then I'll change my homepage address.
Bonito. Cores leves e agradáveis.
it looks fresher! really excited!!!!!
I love it.

It's about time.
anyone know when its supposed to be officially up and running??
i'm so excited!!
This is going to be good, I think. It looks like they worked hard
on it for us. I think it'll be fun!
I'm really EXCITED about this! it looks so good!
and im with lotrlady! it's updated and all modern-y! i <3 it!
i played around with the new site! it's REALLY COOL, guys! go
check it out.
old kiwibox isnt going anywhere. all t he great things that make
kiwibox kiwibox are just going to upgraded! no tears!
As a dude from 1999... I am going to miss this old layout! The
thing I love about KB is that it has changed so little. :P

<3
NiiicEEEE
looks so cool i can't wait to see it going
This is f*ing awesome!! I'm so excited!! Kudos to Kiwibox on
launching Kiwibox 2.0 Beta! It sounds and looks great! Good job
guys, keep it up!
awww this looks amazing. I can't believe it's been 10 years
already! And I'm so happy to see all the changes finally made, I
know it's been in the talks for awhile now!
I can't wait to see what this new makeover for Kiwibox is gonna
look like. Let's just hope that we can also have some
Christian-related stuff added in as well.
OMGOMGOGOMG! AWESOME!!!!!
i played around on the new site and it's really cool. i really
love that i can use my own pictures for my icon. and the way it's
settup is really cool. easy to navigate. i am really excited for
this new site to come out. hurry up already!
once all the bugs are taken out, this is going to be awesome.
it's going to have all the same cool kiwi stuff that makes it
kiwi,b ut with all this cool new stuff. it's like kiwibox
enhanced. 2.0 is a good name. "One half online magazine, one
half social network, and one hundred percent awesome" still
keeping it a 100% original and different site!
i really like it!
i'm with crazy4cowz247. i really like the new site, too. it's a
welcome change. i'm looking forward to all the nwe features!
I really like the new site. It's going to be nice for a change
since I've been on the site for 7 years. I just hope they can get
the bugs worked out and make the changes soon!
oh yeah! kiwinotes, qbooks, journals, polls, postboards. they will
all still be kickin, and with even more options and stuff in the
2.0

so STOKED!
Mike
Too web 2.0?? Would you rather have the outdated 90s look? Any
change is welcome in my eyes.
it's too web 2.0

i'm too old school for this
I have to agree with a lot of the people saying that they DON'T
want it to be like another myspace/facebook. As long as they keep
the same things like qbooks, news, etc, I'll probably be happy.
I'm excited for it to finally be live.
I like the new look. Yes, it's different, but it's a much needed
change. I've been here since 2002 and have anxiously been waiting
on a new design/layout. I'm finally getting it now, so yay! :)

I wouldn't worry so much about the haters...loyal Kiwibox users
will stay around. :)
The only thing is that it looks a little like
myspace.............. but other than that it looks really nice. So
............. yeah I would like the new page
I have to say, I'm not excited for the New Kiwibox.
I've been on here for many years now.
And I've loved the fact that Kiwibox has been different.
But now, with the new makeover, it's going to be no different than
Myspace or Facebook.
And that irritates me a little bit.

I like the idea of making Kiwibox more modern, but why make it
look like every other website?

Kiwibox has always been it's own little thing.
Why not keep it that way by yes, updating the look.... but not
making it another myspace or facebook.
I think since so many people are some-what upset at the change,
maybe there should be an option to have your main page be viewable
in "Classic" or "New" mode. MySpace has that option and I
personally keep mine on the "Classic" view, not because I like it,
but because it's more simplistic and seems 'lighter' too [no
flashing/spinning do-dads all over the place].

Just an idea to think about....
OMG!That looks so cool
which is hip and modern
I absolutely love it
:)
I'm glad to see after 9 years of being on Kiwibox, that it's
changing it's format and becoming more modern and cool. Though I
will miss the old format, I'm welcoming change.
The new KETA is going to look so COOL!!! Let me say that i love
the layouts, the color, n i love how everything is organized n
nothing is crowed. Keep up the GREat Work!!!
I'm pretty excited. Kiwibox is definitely the originator of
"social networking" sites. It needed a drastic change. It's about
time! I'll miss the old one a bit, but change is good! YAY! :)
I like it. I'm glad KB is finally getting modern. Yea its a bit
like myspace and facebook - filling out my profile I just
copy/pasted my facebook info but *meh* big deal they're basic
questions. Now, if its possible to keep spam off it won't be like
myspace or facebook.
