Jeesh, didn't expect everyone to go off in a tiraid. I think that it just needs a makeover. Nothing drastic. I like the logo, think it should stay, but it needs something.

Some CSS work would be nice as well, I have seen some good forums that use MOUSEOVER background colors to higlight, and other things to make it feel more interactive.

Just some thoughts. Sirkent your our resident artist. What can we come up with?
