It looked nice having the news on the first page. I do think we need four thumbnails for each section, unless you're trying to show a sections importance by having more thumbnails for it. I don't think that's necessary because of the Featured Fandom. I think the home page has lost its home-like feel because of its bright whiteness too :/ Though it does look cleaner and super organized.

I liked both the old and the new main pages. What I have heard people talk about are:
Online Status: They think it should be set up different. It is a pain to have to leave your back room just to see if a friend is on. Their should be an area in the back where their user name is highlighted to let you know if their on or not. Not the other notices either as of ‘on in the last 5 minutes’ and ‘who is in chat’. Go to the chat room to find that out.
Guest Posting: It needs to say who the guest poster is in the updates somehow. Not them putting it in the title or finding out once you get in the world.
Viewing and downloading of Wallpapers: They should be separated it is nice to know how many times your Wallpaper was downloaded. Views are cool too, but not everyone that views, downloads.
Subscribing to your own challenges: It is easier to track them.

I sorta like it, I dont like everything being letters.. Pictures are verr pretty, you know. :3 But they could be smaller, maybe? Or something that just lets it look.. less... grid-y and more.. smooth? sleek? I dunno.. >>;
Why dont you try the blogger style, with one thumbnail "Feature Fandom" for each category bordering the body of the page. Im pretty sure we all have a really good idea how to navigate the site to try and find the things we're interested in. It might look more streamlined that way. Keep the header designs and everything the same at the top, I like that.

I miss the old blog style. It had a home-feel to it.

And, then... I met you.

I think you should bring fanwords back to the front page.
