Removing the 10000k*10000k background pic might be a start for the restyle :\.

Nice, Carlo!

Just a few notes.
On Firefox, the site is dog slow. The cursor of my mouse is going in "shocks".

Since you're planning on restyling, if you want i'll make you a design.

I'll throw some examples online if i get home from work.

-Steve

You know the sight is great but please do something to the background, it does bog down the sight and make it less enjoyable.  Cheers.

It's sad that this is most likely not ment as a joke. Not to be bashing but for improvements I would go to DELETE ALL as a first step in the right direction.

Just to be fair, that background could easily be broken down into more manageable pieces and scaled down on the quality to make it work a lot faster.  The image is 1.2MB, that's huge and takes a lot of processor and memory to decode.

On the same token, I certainly appreciate the effort you're putting in, so keep it going!

Also, cut those images down man. Are you doing your stuff on a wide screen? All your relevant bits fit on my 1200x1600 monitor (yes, i'm rotated). The backgrounds scroll off onto the right real bad. No sense displaying graphics outside a normal viewing area. You should target for 1280x1024, keeping in mind many may be coming in at 1024x768.
