I think Aral's approach is right on track. Sure, we might not agree on the header, but the site will morph and adapt. the important part of it for me was the color changes and getting the message across of where we were mentally - open, fun, uninhibited. I think I already said that somewhere...;)
Whites/blues/grays - great for what OS is and usually are colors that please. I actually enjoy looking at the site again . I really didn't like the other version.
