I know that you are proud of this site but you really need to scrap the whole design and start over. There is something to be said for doing something new and innovative, but the site is just plain ol' confusing.

I tried to browse the site and I left right away, too. After reading some of the posts in the thread, I tried it again and the experience was still unenjoyable. You need to make it as simple as possible for surfers to navigate or they will just give up... just like everyone else in this thread did.
