    Yeah, I agree, simplicity is key. Most people won't try to navigate a site that's too crowded or confusing. If your news is the most important part of your site, it should be plainly visible and obvious that it's the news, if game sections are the most important part of the list, they should be linked to planing and obvious that they are links to games, etc...

    Oh, in that case, I totally agree.

    Here's an example of a clean FF site without a lot of eye-candy: http://www.ffinsider.net/

    Haha, I was just looking at that place just a couple minutes ago. Being a light-colored site (I'm not big fan of light-colored sites), I like it.

    Black backgrounds scream two bit fansite.

    I'm thinking black background with maybe lime green text. We should have EoFF scrolling across the top in red Times New Roman and have the FF7 theme playing as a midi on loop.

    Frames are a neccessity along with as many animated cutsey .gifs of all the characters as possible.

    Oh yes indeed.

    My HTML knowledge is about as limited as that though, so although I have ideas I wouldn't be able to submit anything.

    Actually, I like black backgrounds. You might call it two-bit, but I think white backgrounds suck. It also comes down to who you want to appeal to. FF fans aren't exactly white-background-loving people, and black backgrounds are generally accepted by them. That's why Baloki and I aren't going too far from Cid's design - I'd hate for EoFF to lose itself like that, and I really do think that "going corporate" would lose us more fans than it'd gain us. I really hope we don't end up with a white background.

    I don't know how much I can say while Cid is my boss, but I really do hope that we don't change too much because what we have works well for us and has done for four years now. Still, I trust his judgement. I think.

    All good things about change being said - I don't think EoFF should stray too far from how it is now. After all, there's a lot to be said for "if it's not broke, don't fix it". A little change would be nice, but the way I see it, EoFF has become widely known and respected in the tried and true layout it has now.

    I would have to agree with Yams, BoB and Garland. In my opinion, anything too white/light would be too drastic of a change for EoFF, and the simplicity that we have here is also something that I would like to see stay. A site that is to busy looking just doesn't hold my interest when I first click onto it because it's just too much information assaulting me at once. However, this is not my site so I will accept whatever changes that Cid/Sean decides to make to it.
