To crowded for me... to many things happening on the frontpage.
Kinda overwhelmes.
Takes gettign used to.. it might keep people from registering.

besides that, loadsa info and alot to do.
Black is always a good color for a skin imho.

Yea I get this same feeling.. I wish I could remove the spacings.

i had the same with my previous default skin.
black with loadsa images and busy logo.
it looked cool, but was kinda overwhelming.

Now i have it as a selectable skin and a basic yellow/brown skin as default.

anyone have a good skin suggestion?
