what?? that can't be right that sites so plain, i've seen some of the other entries and there are some really good ones in there. i don't think our chances of winning best design are that good but we do have a chance coz we can really do this site up even more. and we have a real chance of winning Most Socially Significant website and maybe even most visited.
but check the sites in this category http://win.ucoz.com/dir/internet/2 unless they're templates there are some real good designs there.
but theres a lot we can do to make this site doper. here's some things i need help with *cough*adam*cough*
1. a dope background for the forum
2. designs for a horizontal menu, i was experimenting on this on the bodescu site, check the horizontal menu on this http://bodescu.ucoz.com/forum
3. any designs for the buttons on the forum and the menus eg.
but if you can design some dope buttons for a horizontal menu we could use thouse
and anything else you can design that you think could be dope on this site, a new header, new icon instead of the mic etc
