Those 30 seconds in the beginning of the track should be the theme music. The 20 seconds of track after that... Loading screen music.

Impressive. Very professional.

Excellent job so far

Yeah, the new layout for the site is great. The only problem I think there is with it is in the different forum sections, you added new icons for the threads which have (supposedly) new posts. Many of the threads which display this icon for me do not in fact have new posts.

As for the music, I'm listening to it now, and I must say this is exactly what I was hoping for. I really like the very first excerpt, and the last two aswell.

- The first one does seem like a nice theme tune. I like the use of the drums, and it's a very inspirational piece, which is what I'd like to hear on the menu screen while looking at a background picture of something like Turner standing over a vast landscape with his head held high. I think that would be a nice idea for a main menu background picture, anyway.

- I'd say the last one is probably battle/danger music. It has that sound of urgency and panic to it which would be great for if you'd just been ambushed by a pack of lowly rabbit thugs.

- The second-last sample reminds me a load of the theme tune of the original Lugaru. It has those same kind of stalling pieces where it hangs on a note for a while and it seems to have the same kind of sad atmosphere to it.

That is some excellent music. I am truly impressed.

I also think it is funny that the main forum page says "Discuss all things Wolfire (or not)". Whoever came up with that joke, I approve.

Heh heh, yeah...

But dude, it's been there a really long time.

Now you might have figured this out already, but there is still a distinction between new post and popular ones.

See, the fat one on the left holds a message, while the other one is merely a hot topic. You can also just look at the little tabs

Oh damn check it out, I even got a picture of a new mini post image! And I had no image to copy from.

...Though I did have a very organized URL to guess.

Oh, I get it now. I was a bit confused because those envelope things looked like they were saying that there's a new post.

I think the hot topic ones are quite useless and we should get rid of them.
