Aquatechnology released a surprise makeover of it's site. It's of decent size as well, not to mention a great job (I approve anyway).. Go over and Check it out..

Well, Tomorrow brings to us the first day of March. Cold in some places, Unseasonably warm in others (like say, here?), but there's one thing that March means...
Spring!...  Yeah.. After a long hard fall and winter, We are finally on the last stretch - headed straight for the Good Weather. And you all know what Spring means!
Easter Candy!... err...
Spring Break? well, close...
Soaking Weather?
BINGO..
Once the temperatures reach the seasonal average of Room Temperature (21 degrees Celsius), It's the start of the season - where ever you are...

Just by coincidence (well, perhaps not coincidence) Stores have started to move their stock of Super Soakers out onto the floor.. So far, the Stores in my Area (Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada) have even gotten as far as to get some of the Brand Spankin' New 2000 Series Super Soakers in stock... (XP 310, CPS 1200, CPS 1700 and SC Big Trouble So Far at Wal-Mart - In yesterdays news, Aqua-Nexus reported obtaining a CPS 1700 for review).
So if you need a new Soaker for the 2000 Season, one should be fairly easy to find... However, if you wish to buy the Biggest mother of a gun you can find, I suggest waiting for April or May for the Mammoth Monster XL to Arrive.

And that's the News..

The Next Generation of Soaking has landed on the Aqua-Nexus.

A Vague Report and Benchmark has been placed on the CPS 1700 page until a more in depth review can be made..

Well, Looks like the Online community has been busy this week.
Liquid Warfare has done some excellent work updating its page. The Newest site from the Creator of Super Soaker Elite has spent the last Few Months since its creation with pages that were either blank or didn't go together with the site look. Now I'm pleased to say that the site has been refined, and all blank pages were either removed or finished. The Site still has has a way to go, but I think it'll make it. Go and see for yourself...

Mikah's SS Page has also updated this past week, notifying the public that he has a 2000 Super Soaker - the SC Triple Charger. Perhaps Soon he'll have a review...

Aquatechnology announced on Yahoo Clubs Aquatica that his new Site Update will launch on February 29th..

As for here on the Nexus, The Links page has been modified to include "MaXStaR's Webcenter" in the Other Links Section. (This is a Site that I announced plans for on the 11/24/1999 Newswire report) I've also reduced the number of Pictures on the Links page for faster loading..

WELCOME TO THE CONNECTION....
The Aqua-Nexus has re-opened it's doors for the Spring Season. With the main season about to start at the end of next month, the Aqua-Nexus has been redesigned to better serve those who look to the Internet for their Super Soaker News and Information...
The Main menu has been simplified and made smaller to both make it easier to navigate, and fully viewable at 640x480 resolution. And so has every other menu... Text is also bigger on the once hard to navigate Review menu...
You may have already noticed the new logo... The old logo was just a revised edition of the logo designed in May 1999, the new one is a fresh new look for a fresh new Season!

Quite a few things around here have been changed, so go ahead and look around for them.

And Now for today's Newswire Report...
On the 1/20/2000 installment of the Nexus Newswire, I said that Aqua-Nexus would be going down for system upgrading, and would be down for a few days at least...
After being out for almost two weeks, the Newswire is ready to resume reporting the News From Around the Soaker World..
And over the Last Few Weeks, a Couple of things have Changed. (What would you expect?)
Sites like Aquatechnology, Mikah's SS Page, MiB and WaterWar have seen Changes over the last little while.

Aquatechnology is Cleaning up its Site a little offline (whatever that means), while Mikah's SS Page has added a Review to the XP 250, and has updated the Links Section...
MiB Has Officially been inducted into the Aquatica Webring. (This Happened a While ago - Feb 10th)

Also, Water War has skimmed down it's already small site out look..  The Site originally famous for it's RPG and Weekly POW, and the same site which blasted the Aqua-Nexus in an Email Reply Bashing this site (See the Email Here) in August of 1999, has Removed both its Online RPG Game and It's Outdated Links Section. Now all that's left is the POW... (Something that Never agreed with me anyway, due to it's rather far fetched story lines..) And not to mention the Annoying Midi that's remained unchanged for as long as I've been visiting it, I see no reason to continue visiting.. (however as the Newswire Reporter, I have no choice).
Bad Move for Water War...

However, My Slogan Remains Unchanged...

Peace, Love and Water War!



2/09/2000
Aquatechnology has added a 5th section to it's website.. The New Section is titled "Soaker World", and is the first new Major Section to hit Aquatechnology since the sites creation. "Soaker World" Allows users to easily access the more interactive sections of the site such as the "War Journal" (the War Stories page) , "Gallery" (Photos of Super Soakers Around the Globe), Tech Research and more. It has to be seen...

Also recently discovered (and featured in the "Worldwide Links" section of Soaker World on Aquatechnology), is the main SuperSoaker page for Northern Europe. WWW.SUPERSOAKER.DK, though in different (Non-English) Languages, if you hunt around enough, you will find, in the Splash Zone, a Java-based 3D Super Soaker Shooter game...  Battle the Sergeant off the commercials in a 3D Maze... Fun!   X to start and side step, Z to fire, Spacebar to enter the next level when you find the picture of the CPS Super Soaker at the end of each level. There are reportedly 4 levels to the game... (Requires a Fast Computer)

Other News...
Yes, The Aqua-Nexus will be making another major update.
Although nothing could ever compare to how major the last update (11/11/1999) was, This up-and-coming update, due for release on February 22nd (or 2/22/2000), is not to be considered as major as the last update. However quite a few things will change graphically.
As the Next Aqua-Nexus Upgrade is to be focused on making the site easier to use, All Suggestions are welcome, and invited. I need your feedback to make this site the best it can be.
What do I need to know? Simple! Are you having any trouble viewing or navigating the Nexus? Does something Displease you? Something driving you nuts? Let me know... I'll see what I can do to fix it.
Send your Suggestions to me at winkyweirdow@netscape.net or to me over ICQ, my Number is 7360762. Thanks for your Support.
