Yup, I like it much better, seems better laid out...
But whats with the 'keywords' to the right?
I like the chatbox idea, it was great for live chatting with the fights going on...
Have it initially minimized, then you click to open it up, just under the menu line...
Is there a requirement to have the 'social bookmarking' and 'Rss feeds' on the page?
maybe put the 'Stats' box under the 'top posters' box?
seems good!
