No need to make a second thread about it, but okay.
The sound: Pointless? It's not everybody's thing, I know you can pause it, but still. Get something neutral.
The design: Looks better, I don't really like the stars on the background.
The content: Kind of much better.

I prefered it how it was before, the background stars and the music are tacky imo. The homepage took forever to load too.

Get rid of the stars.
Get rid of the music.

Why is it so friggin slow?

it's not slow for me?.. the stars help to promote the theme and i've gotten positive feedback from my members so I'm not sure I want to change those.. I may get rid of the song though just because music isn't really necessary

I really want to slap you right now.

haha why? I'm open to suggestions but what do you suggest.. "get rid of the stars" doesn't really give me any direction.. What do you think would work better.. a light bg, a dark bg?

/facepalm you just took bad web design to a whole new level.

1. Get rid of the starry bg, its overkill and ugly imo.
2. For a graphics site, your text headers are disgusting.
3. Your default font blows, change it to something more attractive such as tahoma or trebuchet ms or calibri.

4. Hire a designer, holy crap. Sorry but this is just... bad.

dang is everyone here in love with the smell of their own farts?

this is ridiculous.. I feel I could make facebook and you bunch would rip on it.. please close my threads mods I'm done hearing your folks point of view

That's really good, I love it. Great background effect and rotation of the images. To improve I think you could center the top links and have images next to the them, similar to http://thediscussionzone.com

Overall great site and the forum looks good as well, flows with the overall theme.

I can see your project going far, well done my friend
