I know this should probably go in the 'suggestions' category, but how do you guys feel about an aesthetic redesign? We're pretty constrained by what we have now and I've been toying with new layouts and such, but I wanted to check with y'all first.

yay!

I like it how it is. I'm sure if you redo it, it'll look good, and I know I get frustrated when a design of my site is up too long (I get bored of them easily) but I don't know if it needs to be top of your to-do list :)

Haha, I know what you mean, Alice. I'm a horrible designer once I start to get bored with designs.

I like the design for the time being. I'd say build a new design with MTC.2 to include all the new features (and maybe some web 2.0-type designing with shiny logos and icon-sets--those are always good).

Yeah, I have no problem with the current design.
Plus eric if you change it, that means you have to redesign both your myspace AND endysis to match.

Also--it doesn't seem like you'd like to stray away from green, but I think that having a more general color-scheme (like white with green instead of all green) would be more attractive to new-comers.

It's not like I'm an expert with that stuff, though, just my guess.

I love the way the site looks right now. That's one of the reasons I initially fell in love with the whole place. The colour was also one of the reasons I wanted a shirt.

i think the site looks rad right now! however, since you made the site look so rad as it is, i fully expect that you could create an even RADDER looking version of MTC. i fully support and endorse this! just dont let it be a downgrade.

Hm, would it be possible to incorporate selectable skins on this site? That way, people who like the current look would be happy, and people who want something new would too. You know, everyone wins...except Corey and Eric, who are sol because they have to do all the work.

In the works. At least color-scheme wise.

there will be some design change no matter what because the current design won't be able to handle some of the shit we have brewing...fuck 2.0, this is going to be web 3.0. Hell, it might as well be a video game (even if it only turns out half as cool as we're hoping).

I think you should just not redesign MTC and do some dev work for VLV instead :)

But seriously, if 2.0 is going to be as awesome as you're hinting at, I'm stoked!

It may take awhile to get there, but we've learned from all our silly mistakes with v1.

I'm breaking out the database efficiency whip too.

Anyone that defies my rules (even if it's me) will get punished!

Use two queries when 1 would do? *crack*

Didn't set up a caching structure for that nasty nested query on 20,000 records? *crack* *crack*

Did you just select * instead of the two fields you need?!?!?! *crack* *smack* *die!*

Unfortunately, even with all of this, I think we're still going to get some slowdown...after I set up the database analyzing code, I've been noticing that a lot of our slowdown is seemingly random and appears to be linked to our server/host. =/

Is MTC going to run ads any time soon? I don't feel one way or the other about it, just wondering.
