Ten days later: a re-evaluation:
The polls section is now readable
The News section is still too crowded, and the "Private Messages" section, being the same size as the individual news sections, gets lost in the crowd.
The "Online Users" is as unreadable a mass of text as ever.
I support Mark von Wagner's proposal for how to fix the forums page.Thus spake the DragonComment

Nine days ago, you mentioned that you would be changing the forums page. Any idea on when this will be done, or should I leave Apolyton and go over to the CivGaming.net forums?main(i,_){for(!_||(--i,main(i+2,i["FHhhTBFHdhTBFBQT\2TBF&]zRF$hh*:FHhh+&FBIsbDF"]));

I'm usually not one to critizise, but I find myself visiting Apolyton less lately, mostly due to the main page problem... Its too crowded... When I visit Apolyton, I usually stay away from the main forum page.
No offense reismark, but the CGN forums aren't fun to visit anymore, too much spam...*grumbles about work*Comment

Holy cow.
If you're so annoyed by the new design that you want the discussion to go on for weeks here, why not just establish a couple of links on your desktop or in your favourites folder to the forum pages you visit the most? That way you can bypass the front forum page completely, and the World will be a better place for all of us.
Yes, I'm indifferent towards the new design. I don't think it makes much difference from the way it was before.Comment

Murg, why am I listed twice on the "against" list?
Ah, but the all-intelligent admins do not give us a date, which means that it can be delayed indefinately... My hypothesis is that they are still too busy playing CTP2.... Alas, when CTP2 craze starts dying down, I think the problem may be fixed... Until then, we will just have to keep our fingers crossed and keep BUMPing this thread.

I know. Buyt there's always the chance that they're going to expand into websites some day, and if they are, your forums list page deserves a place.main(i,_){for(!_||(--i,main(i+2,i["FHhhTBFHdhTBFBQT\2TBF&]zRF$hh*:FHhh+&FBIsbDF"]));
