A link to the main site, since I've not yet put one somewhere on the forums

The site has been overhauled, including not just a new look but more content as well. ... ...

I'd so buy a Legend of Zelda Panda.

The "Orginization 13" thing at the top looks a little... I dunno, odd. Hmmm....

The logo, you mean?

I remade it, and as far as I can see, it looks better now anyways. >.>

No, not that... its the font, I think. Maybe I'm just used to the font at the top of the page, but a rather (in my eyes) fancy cursive doesn't seem really appropriate for us.

It seems rather... empty to me. The other page had more on in, and seemed more full. Especially when you compare the layout of the forum to the layout of the front page.

Granted, I don't know how many people look at the front, as most people link right to the main forums... At least I do...

But other then that, it looks rather smooth, actually.

I got tired of the old, blocky font in the previous version of the logo. I picked a font that, as far as I'm concerned, isn't very fancy, but I definitely wanted something better than a simple serif font.

The previous front page was full of too much, again as far as I'm concerned. The updates didn't need to be crazy lengthy posts that looked like they belonged forum, and the introduction text didn't need to explain the community's life story.

If it isn't clear by now, I was aiming for a more minimalistic look.

Also, I'm only have done the bios, that's why the last character isn't completed.

I'll get on that in a moment.

Again, I think it looks great, and I prefer minimalist themes in general.

And don't I feel special. ;D

i agree with chris with the title font. I get you're going for a minimalist style and such, but on glance at the page, it just seems off. I think because its been italic-ized. that slight slant i think sets it off.

Plus the font style is very organic with the rounded ends and tails, and nothing else carries that theme. >.>;;

you feel me?

<.< i like the checkmarks on the visited links~ <3

Okay, that argument makes sense. I'll consider changing the font. >.>
