Here we are. :)

What you are looking at right now is OpenGameArt.org version 1.5 (or most of it, anyway -- there are a couple things I'll be adding over the weekend). The site should (hopefully) be relatively usable and intuitive at this point, and you should be able to do everything you could do back in version 1.0. If you run into any problems with anything (posting on the forums, commenting, submitting art, etc), leave a comment here, or drop in on our IRC channel:
#opengameart on irc.freenode.net (or chat with us from your browser)
Comments
Does this work now?
Links in the forum to art assets don't seem to work for me (get a page which says that it isn't found).
Wow, I hope you reconsider the text bloom. It's not only friggin annoying, it is also more strenuous on the eyes effectively blurring the text.
Needs a function to see if there are comments and if they are new under each news entry.
I think i see where you are going -- a cleaner, more consistent look.
One aspect troubles me: blue is the background for everything-- including art. It's a bad idea to put a random art on a colored back, some will clash with the background color, and other selections will look dull. You'll notice that any high-level image browser application or site will use grey or black.
HMM... the only way to see the comments is to hit the "add new comment" button?
You definitely need to add that "irc channel" and "chat from your browser" somewhere in the page head! That's the way I found my way to the irc :)
