Wanted: Web sites whose design you like
Sir Auros:
I think www.xbox-scene.com would be an excellent choice for this site to emulate not only in layout, but in ideas.
They have a ton of user-submitted tutorials for working with Xboxes...what if BYOAC started accepting similar tutorials for MAME cabinets and such?
No offense, but the current layout is really hard to navigate if you're new to the site.

I have a couple of sisues with mambo server bu that's because it isn't doing what I want it to do :)

I dislike PHP-Nuke more and more as I use it. Too much work to make it look even half decent. Maybe Mambo would be an alternative. Even the site http://www.mamboserver.com/ looks pretty good.
Personally I like clean layouts with not too many graphics. For instance http://www.rohdesign.com/weblog/ and http://www.siebel.com/

I have to second the Microsoft vote. They have a very well laid out site.

Are you kidding? It's freakin impossible to find anything you want on their site...
What I really really like about www.mameworld.net is it's incredibly fast loading times. I can't remember which one of the MW guys made the site, but you should talk to them about it. One of the main reasons that the site renders so fast, is because they use CSS for laying out the page, as opposed to super slow html tables.
I don't know much about mambo, but it looks very good and clean and FAST. Check out http://www.mamboserver.com/ It renders so fast!
In general saint, keep the design to a minimum number of images. A great layout can be easily achieved using only text and html and css (www.mameworld.net is a perfect example of this).
And PLEASE don't design the site to work great with Internet Explorer but doesn't work as well with other browsers. IE sucks. It's horrible. If you cater BYOAC to IE users... shame on you...
SirPoonga:
Just because you can;t find stuff on their site doesn;t mean the layout is not a good design :)
I can find stuff on M$. You don't think M$ obviously.
