First of all I want to thank you for all the work that has gone into this amazing project!

I think it's great that you let the community have a say in how to proceed with OGA.

I think a redesign of OGA would be nice. I personally would prefer a "radical" redesign with a much clearer and modern look. For example I really like samuncles draft.

But before discussing about HOW it should look, you should make an agreement which elements and features will be included on the start page:

I've tried to read all the previous comments and it seems there is an important question not answered yet:

What is / should OGA be? A platform to share and grab free game assets? Or a community to discuss about game assets and get in touch with artists?

To answer this question it seems to be very important to also think about: "What does an average user expect when visiting this website?"

Are there any analytics/logs to analyze what are the most used functions/sites on OGA?

After having answered this question you can think about: "What features should show up on start page to satisfy our main user group?"

And then you can think about: "How should that features look like?"

What do you think about that?

Furthermore I have some skills in web developement (js,html,css,php,nodejs) and would be glad to help you with developement, if possible.

I will also try to participate in the art challenge with a fork of samuncles draft.
