I'm never going to like red. It's not easy on the eyes, the focus should be int the middle where the text is, and the red is distracting.

It's not easy on the eyes, the focus should be int the middle where the text is, and the red is distracting. I like the design, but yeah, the red is a little too prominent. Maybe a more saturated red might work better? Also, I still think the horizon above Mars should be a darker color, to provide more visual contrast before the big red column begins to stretch down the page.

I generally have a very bad sense of design. So with that said here is my opinion:
To much red.
I like the menu styling very much. I however prefer when the menus are on the top so it does not compete with the content.
The dmd version in the menu seems unnecessary.
Would be nice if the announcement and discussion boxes scaled a bit more. They are way to small right now.
I like the style of the site. The yellowish gives the site a old school feel.
What are peoples feeling about the "fork me on github ribbon"?

On a semi unrelated note. We should really improve the content on the landing page. Right now it's way to much text.

Best regards,
NVolcz

Here's a variant with a grey background and the old logo, suggested by veelo on GitHub: http://ag0aep6g-dlang.rhcloud.com/variants/grey-oldlogo/

It addresses the complaints and I think it is still an improvement over the live website, although less fresh than your initial proposal. The narrow version still uses your modern logo though.

The grey on the left panel is a bit too dark, though. Maybe a touch brighter? OTOH, if the point is to match it with the grey on the right stream boxes, then I guess it's OK.
