Just a bit of feedback, not sure you will like it though, but just my views. I think the layout of this site is far, far, far too "busy". I never thought I would say it but AF, with it's simple style, is much more user friendly.

Whats with all the US/ Canada/ Oz forums? They are hardly (if ever) used

I remember the MSG of 2003 and it was always a joy to visit, full of great posts and easy to navigate. The site nowadays takes so long to trawl through, with hundreds of pointless forums and distracting advertising, it is actually a chore to sieve through it all and locate a decent thread.

I realise things may have moved on (commercialism rules OK) and someone has to pay for it all, but the community feel MSG once had is long dead and gone IMHO, which is a shame. Even the moderators don't seem to post much these days. Maybe I am being nostalgic, but were there not far more hits back then than nowadays?
