Frontpage Side-Images

We (the staff) have been looking in to updating it.

I (a staff) had an update nearly ready for it, but I can't find it on my computer anymore, the hunt continues.

Also Freyja (a staff) did say something about mocking up a new front page at some point too.

While we're talking, can we get a different page for the server than the tf2maps frontpage?

It would be nice if the server addresses could be copied to clipboard so we could add them to our favourites (without the other gubbins surrounding it).

a top donators thingy by the please donate might be nice too

as long as we (the staff) can deal with that, sure.

If these images are updated, I wouldn't like to see that dramatic of a change in the level of simplicity. High contrast should help draw a page viewer's attention from the middle to the side of the page, especially if the images in question use easily-recognizable symbols, such as the Steam logo.

For some reason, this situation brings to mind the design philosophy that Google seems to implement- small UI changes frequently that, while only being minor, seem to 'freshen up' the experience. All my fellow Chrome users will notice that a New Tab page will now have Visited Website elements that fade in, as well as updated loading wheels. These kind of changes on TF2Maps could spruce things up. However, changes require people and hours of work, and I can't really see something similar reasonably happening.

Did I just make a Google analogy and recommend site UI changes follow that format? Gosh, I am demanding.

I've been thinking maybe something that feels more like a typical MOTD, gives a basic description of what we are, and maybe includes instructions on how to use the feedback plugin would be nice.
