Hey Brett. Good job so far.
My only criticisms would be:
1. Change the order of comments in news/articles back to oldest->newest as was the case in VGC1.*
2. Screen size should be handled by browser not hard coded in a professional site. You should be able to set various divs and areas that make everything more modular so each piece has its place and the sizes/widths are relative. I know this as I make websites everyday. Granted mine are all behind firewalls, but it can be done.
3. I would like to show a mockup of what I think a better home page layout would be.
Notice I have reduced width by a good portion and returned the recent thread portion. I deleted the 'most popular stories' part because that is really already covered by the new flash screen. That is far more usefull.
Granted there still is cleanup needed as this was just a quick mockup w/ paint and the portions below that are not in my image would remain.
So, what do you guys think? BTW, I like the colors overall.
