I'm sorry I'm being critical here, but when it comes to websites I have functionality more in mind than aesthetics, and I feel the front page could be doing more for showing off what's on display then just showing the most recenlty submitted pieces.
This theme is the first step toward OGA2, and it's a jump that I had to make in order to be able to continue building features. What that means is that unfortunately we're dealing with a temporary step backward in terms of functionality. I don't mean to take that stuff away -- I know people liked it. What I'm planning to do is add custom art collections, and also allow people to customize the blocks that they put on their own start page, so you can start with the same information that was on the original OGA. Once I get art collections finished, I'll be able to re-create the Featured Art section, but as a collection (which will be a feature available to everyone) instead of just something that I put together. Featured Art is going to be replaced by a collection of the OGA staff's making called Staff Picks. You'll be able to build collections of your own also.
Your criticisms are valid, but you should be aware that we're already planning on addressing them. :)
I'm actually going to be making a bunch of changes in response to feedback from users. There's another thread in this forum where I'm asking for specific likes and dislikes. If you want to chime in there, feel free. :)
Those of you who are seeing a horizontal scrollbar... I've git my window at 962 pixels wide at the moment, and I'm not seeing one. If your window is wider than that, what browser and OS are you using? It could be that there's a problem in my fluid width javascript.
Based on this feedback, I've made some plans about what I'm going to do with the theme (for now). I'll post those in a separate forum post.
Those of you who have commented, thank you for the help -- I really appreciate it! My ultimate plan is to make OGA as pleasant and usable as possible, so any feedback we get will help move in the right direction.
Sweet!

Very nice. :)
Very nice set of resources. This includes the spell effects and both game fonts, along with the enemy sprites and map tiles.
Also, the game is fun to play. :)
I can't help you if you don't tell me your account name. :)
@mdwh:
I'm not experiencing any of these issues with the text box. What OS are you using, and how wide is the content are of your web browser, in pixels?
