Defining your publishing as something you do feels bland, and the buy it! line seems way too direct, even desperate.I don't think your blog is supposed to be amusing, and Take it! again goes way above my comfort level. I really hope the images under "Our games" are temporary. They make it look like all your games were sold either in dvd cases or in boxes, but at least Dominions 3 isn't. Ordering your games alphabetically by category doesn't work. The current way starts from BOARD games, and ENDS in STRATEGY and WAR. This doesn't work for "publisher of permier war and strategy games". Color scheme of the new forum is bland. The old brown gave the forum most of its feeling, IMO. Graphic ads on the side of the forum are really distracting. As said before, the poster's name on top of each post takes huge amount of space. As some other people, I was shocked when I first saw the new forum. Color scheme and look were a big part in that. I even felt like this wasn't the same forum at all, and that I might leave it just for that, and the small things yet to be ironed out.

Tell us what you 'really' think, Edoperez.

Thanks Mindi, for all of your hard work! You are greatly appreciated, here at Shrapnel, if nowhere else.
