Heh.  I like that color a lot.  :)  Anyway, what I really want to know is is 
it good enough now to replace the old site, which is still what's up there.  
And a news item to go with it.  :)  (If you wanted to knock it out yourself 
it's just a matter of renaming/deleting index.html, renaming index2.php to 
index.php, and opening includes/leftnav.php and changing index2.php to 
index.php in the 'News' link)

And what exactly is wrong with the color.  Should it be darker, lighter, less 
green, more blue, whatever.  Or you can crack open the css if you'd like and 
screw with it.  Or you can just give me a hex triplet with the color you 
want.  ;)  The background tiling looks good in the game, I figured out, 
because it's never tiled for large spaces, just smaller dialogs and stuff.  
But yeah, a better background is always, well, better.  :)  I'll dig in all 
my 3d tiles and see if there're any good ones.  I can't make a tile worth a, 
um, worth anything, but I have lots of tiles collected for sticking on 3d 
objects and stuff.  :)

Are you kidding?  I wouldn't touch Bugzilla with a ten foot pole.  That whole 
'zilla thing is just like Godzilla.  Big, bloated, and completely 
unnecessary.  :)  They chose the name well.

The feature request script is for end-users, while bugzilla is for developers, 
though, and that's the difference.  If you tried to use the feature request 
script to track bugs, you'd find that it really really sucks.  But if you 
used it so people who don't know jack about anything but like to play the 
game can tell you what they want to see in it and vote on it, then you'd find 
it a helpful tool to figure out what people want.  :)
