Yeah, the forum won't get used much. But hopefully it will during the build season as a discussionary tool and a way of catching up team members on what's going on.

The chat room is really for specific times when we need to hold a meeting or discussion on a set date if we can't use the school or something like that.

Addendum:

I'll think about this. The reason for all of the links to be right there is so that most of the content is available right off of the main page.

Descriptions to these links are available on the Links page. More links that are not going to be in the links box will be available on the Links page.

I find that variable-width layouts can get annoying as a designer. Pixilation and weirdness come up more than I'd like, so I decided to go with a one-size-fits-all approach. I haven't tested it with screen resolutions greater than 1024x768 because my flat screen doesn't support them, but I think the size fits well with 800x600 and 1024x768.
