Been a while since i've been on my favorite 'Skins site (all the news this offseason has been pretty disheartening), but this site is my favorite for a reason.
__

1.
Homepage bookmarked. Thankfully, it's so clear and uncluttered, everything is right within reach.

2.
I still heavily favor the original look, not for nostalgia necessarily, but because the color scheme is easy on the eyes while still be Redskin (visitors of other skin sites must know what i mean). Most of all, i like the size of the main logo, prominent but thin, so i see more of the homepage at a glance and don't have to scroll. my biggest problem with the other schemes.

3. obviously the strength of the forums is based on its posters, who are knowledgeable, succint, and manage to be passionate while staying polite. i tend to think Warpath has gotten this crowd by focusing on discussion, with no place for custom icons, signatures, or flashy design or ads. i recognize the need for ads on good sites, but only if they're visually compatible with the site ie. clean, no flashing or moving except the smilies!

4.& 5. i can't even bear to look at other redskin sites now. i'll check weekly on the offseason, several times a day during.

6. wish i remembered how i got to this site, it was ages ago before vbulletin, but i've been hooked ever since.

7. again, the ads now are completely unintrusive, and don't take time to load, as long as this remains the case, i'm ecstatic.

8. way less, its clearly quality over quantity here as the fans here like it.

9. all i can wish for is maybe a mobile friendly version (though the simplicity of this site works surprisingly well!) and possibly RSS for newswire updates.

10. thank you Matty, is all i can say. only complaint i could ever muster was regarding removal of post icons with redskins who were no longer redskins. otherwise, don't change (too much)
