There's far more chance of M@x & Phil adopting a purple variant on the MMA / JMA style than there is of them using a random design posted on the forum.
What?

But there's far more chance of me enthusiastically endorsing a random design posted on the forum. Does my opinion suddenly count for nothing?

Question - the artist page looks awesome, but how would the main page look? What would the site look like to someone who's coming here for the first time?

Did it ever count for anything?

Thank to all for feedback. 
Yes, I understand that my chances are small, maybe it is just because I am new forum member. But suggesting a new design of website that I use more than 6 years - it is a very exciting and interesting project for me. So I would like to present you all the pages. 
As was correctly noted, progressive rock is live music, music of human spirit, the essence of creativity and striving forward to new horizons. That's why I chose this way - discussion about the preview (and my point of view) on the forum. Ideas about new design and new features of progarchives must be born in active discussions and disputes. 
And finally, the proposed design can looks strict and minimalist because it is an encyclopedia site, utilitarian guide used by thousands of people around the world.

Your best chances are to connect with him via email or even twitter or facebook, as he rarely visits his own forum anymore, I'm afraid. Godspeed, though, it's an awesome idea.

I was just being realistic - Max and Phil do the layouts and JMA and MMA are their recent designs, it seems logical to me that if they redesigned the PA it would be of that general style and in the past any redesign has been presented to us as a fait accomplis. People on the forum can have as many opinions as they like, but at they end of the say they count for what they count for (and my opinion carries just as much weight as anyone elses on this matter).

I really love the two layouts on the first page of this thread. Seriously great work.

Too bad it'll never happen :'(

The forum software hasn't even been updated yet, not that it affects the front page design at all. It's just depressing.

No, it hasn't counted for some time now.

I like the banner.

But the one in Scott's sig is better.

LOL

You mean the little ol sig below? Well I like it anyway.

As for a new look. If it aint broke why fix it? Seems like a lot of unnecessary hard work to me. Though a new look would be a change of course. i am not into changing everything though. They did it with Youtube and everybody missed the little stars, they did it on facebook and everyone got lost and hated it. PA's look is better than JMA and MMA, too dark and depressing for me, so keep it purple and "keep it safe"... fly, you fools!

^ That would look like trying to sell the website. I'd stick with Scott's idea.

Well, I'm glad that we have some colour on PA, as opposed to MMA and JMA.
I do like the proposed new lay out, though. I'm happy with the old one, but the new one looks more updated.
I'm not sure if the collage fits in the new lay out. I do like the collage, and it's proggy, because visuals always have been an important part of prog.

Unfortunately it's so.

I'm happy with current design, I like the collage and, in my opinion, it's better to fix current bugs (some of them are quite annoying) than invent new design. 

It's like cigarettes - once in 2-3 years companies change the pack's design and with each change tobacco itself becomes worse and worse.

From the other hand, some changes are inevitable. More and more people use different kinds of gadgets and many things on PA (like small letters A, B, C... ) are not adjusted for these users' convenience.
