What new site design? There hasn't been one.

...have you looked at the main page lately?

I don't really like it either I think it's too bland.

i concur.

the old site design was far more interesting and unique. i really don't like this at all.

I agree, it is somewhat bland. At least capitalize the "n" in nifflas's Games!

Whoops, thought he was talking about the forum. Nevermind.

Umm... well, it DOES say that he might work more on the design...
***begins petition to make the new layout look better***

I think that the interface is better, but I rather liked the.. condensed look of the old site.

Needs work.

I liked the minimalism of the previous site, but it was impossible to expand with the content I would like to, I already had to do dodgy weird stuff like popup windows for the Knytt Stories expansions. It's a bit ironic though that each of my website designs have always been told to be a lot worse than my previous one (so I saw this comming, it happens every time), yet nobody can deny that my first website looked absolutely horrible.

I mean, check out one of these early ones:

I liked the old one... dont have a particular problem with the new one, except my crappy browser (IE5 [im on a mac 9.1, shuddup])  cant load any of the pictures

Everybody always likes the old one , and during a transistion over like 8 websites going from "absolutely horrible" to "it's quite ok", where each step in between having been a downgrade from the previous one... If it's not a paradox then I don't know what is. I mean, during the first few re-designs I took the comments seriously, but I guess I should take them as a good sign as I'm getting a massive Braid Level 1 vibe here.

Now of course, the serif font needs cleartype to look good, but everybody uses cleartype today, right?

I was really tricky and Internet Archive'd and found several archived guestbooks with stuff like "great new site you got here", "Nicklas: great site.", "Love this new site. ", "I'm not gonna say "I liked the old design better", because I like this one in a different way. ", "This site design is IMO a littel bit better than the previous.", "I like this design as I liked the old one. Nah, no way... I like the new one better =)", "Think I like the new site better. ", "Hey mate!! great design, I like it! Good job", and "hey m8, I like this design best ".

I think you underestimate your web-design skillz. (But yeah that one image is pretty awful.)

Perhaps I was lucky with people's opinions that time I'm not underestimating my web design skills by the way, what I'm really saying is that I'm just not bothered that much with opinions. I'd care about what a designer would tell me, but most people think Windows Areo^* looks good which is a clear signal that I shouldn't listen to the masses.
