*runs to check out new home page*

first and quick impression....much much MUCH much better.  thanks ioi.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better!!

Yes, I'm going with the general opinion. A balanced mix between old and new, very good.

This works so much better than the before. Also any chance we could have the little tabs so we can see quickly see topics in specific forums right in the hot topics?

The new home page is a thing of beauty.  It should go a long way towards drawing equal attention to each part of the site.  I love it.  I know you guys have been catching hell over our opinions about the changes brought about by 3.0 but it's because we love this site so much.  The changes to the home page go a long way towards satisfying me and presumeably most of the users.

Thanks for going above and beyond for the fans.  Just another step in the evolution of VGChartz, I assume.  Don't stop now, though! 

A lot better! Thanks, ioi! 

That looks incredible! Good job!

Getting there.........liking it so far

Looks almost like the old design, might as well change it back. ;)
