Sonic Community News
If you visit the Mobius Forum of Sonic HQ or Sonic HQ on a regular basis, by now you've probably heard the news. For those who don't visit Sonic HQ, WB has stepped down as co-web at Sonic HQ and I will be taking his place. Nothing is happening to this site at all, and I will continue to be webmistress here and co-web at Sonic HQ. WB's farewell is currently up at Sonic HQ's main page if you haven't seen it or want to see it. And no, I won't be "Knuxifing" Sonic HQ. ;)

Site News
The move is complete. Everything is back up. I just have to go back into fan fiction and fix a few broken pic links. If you find any links broken, email me at webmaster@KnucklesHaven.zzn.com or post at the KH Customer Service Board to let me know. Thanks. As a result, the Chaotix theme which has gone on MUCH longer than anticipated will actually continue and come to an eventual close.

SA2 Info
Sonic Team has updated their site (Japanese version only) to include a Sonic Adventure 2 page. While the translation isn't perfect, if you want to check it out click here.

Even MORE SA2 Screens AND Info
Nine more screens with Knuckles and actual game info. You can check out the game info here (since there might be a few who want to be surprised). And check out these beautiful screens (love the line in the first one): Screen #1, Screen #2, Screen #3, Screen #4, Screen #5, Screen #6, Screen #7, Screen #8, and Screen #9. There are also videos featuring each of the characters in the Daily Radar article. You can check out the Knux video here and the Knux vs. Rouge video here.

Site News Clarification
The reason art won't be available soon (until I finish moving it) is that Monday I have to delete the entire section (same deal with Fleetway which I haven't finished moving) or else EVERYTHING I have on Spree will be deleted since I have to get under 10MB (art section is over 80MB alone). By next weekend I should be able to get both sections back up though so it shouldn't be too long.

April 13

More SA2 Screens
Five more screens shots with Knuckles: Screen #1, Screen #2, Screen #3, Screen #4, and Screen #5. In a screen shot of Rouge she says "All the world's gems are mine to keep!" Considering the Master Emerald is a gem I can see where she and Knux might have some issues to settle. ;) Remember, it's only 2 more months. ^^

Sonic Adventure 2
A bonanza of information has been revealed about SA2. You can see the cover here and two new screenshots with Knuckles here and here. Tails is in SA2, so that will he/won't he can stop. ;D Knuckles' rival in the game is going to be Rouge (a fact I find interesting since Sonic Jam listed Knux' weakness as girls). There's going to be a 2-player mode and you'll be able to play on the side of good (Knux, Sonic, Tails) or the side of evil (Rouge, Shadow, Robotnik). The release date is set for June 19th for US, Europe, & Japan.

Site News
Things are mostly under control now dealing with the move so updating will return for fiction and anything in the Chaotix Corner. I have not figured out what to do with fan art yet and then it'll take a while to upload once I do. So that won't be available soon. I haven't finished moving Fleetway either. All other sections are good to go and you'll notice that the links are very different (if you haven't already). If you find a broken link email me at webmaster@KnucklesHaven.zzn.com or post a message at Angel Island's KH Customer Service MB. Thanks for being patient. ^^
