So, not only did I do a complete redesign of the site, but I also did some behind the scenes optimizations. Mainly there's a new site-wide caching system in place that dramatically decreases loading time, especially when not logged in as pages are served completely static (as in no database or php interaction at all) Next, I replaced the old SEO component that made pretty URLs instead of cryptic ones with a much more advanced and optimized version (URL rewriting is a VERY cpu intense). So what do you guys think? Are things loading faster???

Site looks great. Nice job on the design and the speed is still good even with more graphics and textures.
