I like it. Its more organized than this year's site and is more symmetrical. I like the frames because I use them myself. Can I suggest making the pages shorter. You have to scroll down a little and maybe you could have just the frame scroll similar to
THIS page but that is just me. Also the skin on the forums doesn't really match your banner. Maybe plain black with yellow text or anything that is yellow/black/yellow and black will be a big improvement as it will then fit with your theme...black and yellow. Besides that I can thank you in advance for giving me ideas for some work in the summer.
Keep up the good work and good luck!
Pavan.
