I always tend to read these forums rather then post on them.
Returning to the topic, I think that the frontpage does look good, but would be rather nice to have a 'new' site as it were, rather then changing the table widths of a site from 2 years ago.
At least you have a frontpage now though.
Hey,
Is the current site not just the same one that was about last time...?

And the one that has just been replaced was the site from before that...
I would suggest making the news much wider, feels so claustrophobic on the frontpage.
I would also say a better looking site as well, but you've mentioned a new one in the works, so I'll look forward to that appearing.
And I like the trimmed down news posts, no one wants an epic novel about...
The idea is not to go crazy with coding and texturing and modelling, so that we can actually release it this century. Mainly focusing on some fun gameplay and decent maps. Will be using some custom speech though, to help move the story along.
