Here's what I was thinking...

Is each bullet/plus symbol its own subcategory, or thread? I think we'd have a lot of categories... Lots of these could just be individual threads.

A few modifications...

I believe it should point to either (code block is because of some awkward forum URL formatting)
[code:1ynykmfh]http://www.myapertureinnovations.com/forums/index.php or
http://www.myapertureinnovations.com/index.html[/code:1ynykmfh]

For some reason the frame background image doesn't load, which I'm trying to sort out.

The main site is awe inducing! But I believe we should have a description for the site like mAL did.

The idea for the main page is to have the intro video where the testing initiative video is, and then the site description below.

I like where this is going.

+rep

It would be impressive to have a Aperture Science Reputation or something like that.

But yeah being on the left just seems like it'd be better. Considering 90% of other forums have them on the left. Also the post icons are pretty useless. Maybe give those the boot?

Yes on the icons, no on the left-sideness. I like being different.

I have seen some other forums where it is in the middle. In my opinion, those are really weird.
