I thought it was the 'style' you were aiming for Nathan.

In all honestly, the background really needs to be changed, I feel like I am looking at a yahoo page from the mid 90's and more than anything the layout of the forum is completely off putting, how about grouping the forums into sub sections.

Everything is just a mess.

I think that's the point, this is tied to the new Talking Classics site and that also looks like some Geocities page from the 90's. The fun is in how broken and outdated it all feels :D

...at least, that's what I got out of it.

This is what I thought at first, but then I read this.
I don't know. I don't remember seeing that name here. I met him on the talking classics guestbook. He said he could make some forums and is from RB.
Besides there is a big difference between retro/nostalgia and just poor design.

Agreed, it just looks messy.

Ahhh, well honestly I only glanced at the forum so I wouldn't have known if it was just plain old poorly designed.

Poor design is authentic nostalgia. Have you seen the Talking Classics site? If people aren't complaining about the design then its not good enough for me.

I cant understand that, and it goes hand in hand with the persona, but as for the forums, it is actually hard to use, forums were organized back in the day, and if they weren't I didn't use them.

The site might not be loading all the way for you. Is it all white? It doesnt finish loading for me on Safari so I have to use Firefox.
