Extremely alpha and extremely rough around the edges, but we've launched a very, very preliminary version of the new site. Many features are missing and there's a lot of things in flux right now, especially related to the design; please be patient - we will be fixing things over the next few days and hopefully will have most old functionality back by the weekend.
The site was created by myself, our developer kenaniah, and CSS/design guru kace. We all spent a brutal amount of time over the last month slaving away at this daily. For more information about why we had to put up a rushed/incomplete release, see here.
Important notes about this release:
THERE ARE NO NEW FEATURES. THERE ARE NO NEW FEATURES. THERE ARE NO NEW FEATURES.

3. Review search isn't working right
4. There are weird issues with the username in the logged in panel, often disappears (same with certain blocks of text)
5. Colors are totally in flux - hold the vomiting till we have finalized them!
6. Lots of spacing/CSS strangeness - please don't file bugs on this stuff
7. Various empty areas where we haven't done the content yet

3. Where did [x] feature go? (read the freaking text above!)
4. Here's my hardcore critique of the design (we haven't finalized a lot yet)
5. I liked the old version better! (this was a rushed release and trust me, we'd prefer to have a few more months to pretty everything up)
