Do you Like The New Geeks.Pirillo.com design?

To be honest and with all due respect to the designer, no, I don't.

• Don't like the colors (or lack of?) overall
• The menubar is rather boring/oversimplistic (plus all caps plays against it)
• The links in bold and blue look awful in my opinion
• It's messy, like really messy
• Plain black bg looks rather meh EDIT: ok I think that was a bug that got fixed today it looks a little better now with a clearer background
• Sometimes I can't tell the ads from the real content listings
• And I could go on...

This looks weird and misaligned:

Chris' cartoon face looks like bad photoshop cutout, notice white pixels around Chris' face:

The "Welcome" blue box looks like a BSOD and the blue hover on those links makes them look like they disappear:

This is what I mean with messy, I don't know where to focus my attention, everything's just printed out and that's it, I feel like everything should have its place and here it feels everything is all over the place:

Good points:

• It has potential to be much prettier because the site has so many functions
• It's already a popular site
• Everything works, it just doesn't look pretty

I'm sorry if I'm offending somebody's work here, this is my opinion and you don't have to like it just have some respect for it :) In my defense (to anyone who thinks pointing these things out was not OK), when you ask for opinions you have to be ready for constructive criticism.

Being a web designer and developer myself, if required I could gladly help to make the design better, you (whoever is in charge) would just need to ask.
