Consider the audience a little better maybe because I don't think your home page is really working as well as it could.

I'd like to second this. looking at the site update thread, there are (within 2 days of the update) two posts from new users who are confused about the changes. more specifically, they seem to be at a loss due to an assumption that simfiles will be available at the main site.

until access to a simfile database is integrated into SM5, I think there needs to be a clear explanation as to what a download of StepMania actually entails. maybe a link to the simfile packs hosted by stepmaniaonline.net on a page accessible from the homepage would help as well.
