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!
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 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.

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'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. =/

The selling of points would be a pretty decent source of cash flow. I'd definitely be willing to drop a couple bucks now and then to up my pointage and stay ahead of the youngins. Oh and of course, help the cause and all. You paypal that shit and I'll be all over it.

Time out. Would you agree that the average demographic is probably around 20-25 on this site, which = in college/just paying off college? Us poor college students don't have money to buy points. Can we get points for good grades like back in elementary school?
