Community shirts sound cool. I'm a sucker for shirts myself. Just look at my Mighty No. 9 backer pledge [lol & facepalm]. What are you thinking about in terms of distribution and/or promotion?
As for the site, yeah, it probably is overdue for a bit of a makeover if not a full facelift.
The following things are probably overdue for a bit or reformatting and workshopping if not a complete change:
*Main ~mission statement~ header
(Club 1kjho's goal is to be the community driven Monster hunter content.)
*Running ~update~ banner
(
Welcome to the new Club 1kjho! A site built on monster hunter, a community built on gaming.
The Site is Currently in the middle of a few changes, a full explanation Will come once everything is finished!
)
*Background image. Always liked the current bit of art, but maybe something a little more current/exclusive to MHGen or more fitting ~around~ the message board's layout?
*Overall style. Personally I tend to prefer dark backgrounds and white or otherwise high-contrast text in general as well. However, looking back, I think the old look of Club1kjho was perhaps more accessible and serviceable for a message board. Might be time to go back to a more straightforward dark text on light background look. On a somewhat ironic note related to this and the present background, our ~mission statement~ and ~home~ site link are more or less lost in the background with the current style and placement.
