I like the new site design and certainly am not bothered by the change in name from Next Gen to Edge Online. Unfortunately, however, the change from a ".biz" to a ".com" URL means I will soon have to abandon the site. I don't have a lot of time to read gaming web sites and I used to read Next Gen during my lunch hour at work. My company uses a 3rd part app to block gaming-related web sites. But because Next Gen was a ".biz" site, it flew under the app's radar and Next Gen was the only gaming site I could access from work. Now that the URL has a ".com" qualfier, it won't be long before an update to the app will include this site as one to block, along with Gamespot, IGN, and all the rest. This is very disappointing to me. Does anyone know how to get around this type of web site blocker? I believe the one my company uses is called Intellisense.
