Redesign of BYOAC
Sasquatch!:
My $0.02:
As long as javascript isn't used for anything criticial to navigation, it would probably be all right...although you'll likely find the use for it unnecessary. And yeah, kill the frames.
I'm about to upload the revamped arcadeparadise.org done entirely in XHTML and CSS, and it's very groovy. The bandwidth savings alone will make doing this worth it for you. This goes hand-in-hand with your wanting to stick with web standards too. And this ALSO goes along with the page being accessable to portable devices.
Peale's right: design it for ANY resolution, and with XHTML/CSS, this'll be a snap. At the very least, I would consider designing for 1024 x 768 to be way over the top. Think of how many of us won't be able to bring up BYOAC on our cabinets, because they're running at 800x600! or 600x480! :)
Color schemes: Once again, if you do the page in XHTML/CSS, you can change all of this "on the fly". I'd personally steer away from "flashy", but that's just me.
voodoochile:
I think it would be great if everytime you load the main page a new cab would refresh...I went thru the examples page and there where sooo many cool cabs I forgot about. It would be kind of cool just as a reminder of what some folks are missin, a featured cab if you will.
Other than that the site has always functioned well. Just my buck oh five!
...Oh and a WAP enabled page would be the bees Knees, I surf alot from my Pocket PC when Im out of town and such....Really the news (main page) and related article just needs to be wap enabled.

We have to get rid of the "blog style" sections. Look at the Monitors section for example. Its just like this one huge webpage that's not easy to sort through or find exactly what you are looking for. Its a very old webpage design type. Every little tip or tutorial should in its own little page (or series of pages).
Saint, perhaps you will give a big handful of people here access to adjust and change content of the server. Like a handful of us who have been here for several years. This could take load off your back and it could make the site more useful since it will be easier for information to end up actually IN the faq, instead of just the message board.
RetroJames:
Frames and "log" formatted pages gotta go.
I agree it should be simple. Everytime I go to mameworld.com I have a seizure.
What about a simple, clean, tight, intuitive, toolbar, and a cycling image, ala KLOV's machine of the moment, that contains choice shots of the cooler projects from within the board.
Hey now, it might be pretty cool to have a section with a KLOV type entry for selected machines.
Mooters:
I agree with the others mainly with this although i wouldnt be included

Just my opinion.
