The has been updated! I thought I'd explain my reasons for doing so.
As the site grows in traffic I was beginning to feel that the pinterest-style layout was at times a bit messy looking. It was also not very efficient (from a browser memory usage pov) and thus incredibly laggy if you loaded more than a few extra pages (that big green button at the bottom).
I hope you enjoy this cleaner, more efficient design. I know that some folks don't like change, but I hope you find this design to be easier to use. It should be a good bit faster to load as well.
It's been truly entertaining seeing the community grow and fun to see what you're all playing / watching / reading.
Among other things, next up on the list I plan to implement nested replies and a DM (messaging) system. Coupled with the new 'communities' section I hope you all enjoy the site and connect with others with similar interests.
Let me know if you have any thoughts. I'm always open to feedback and suggestions.
Have a good one!

What is the difference besides content now seeming to have a max-width & my navigation side-bar being stuck to it?
I mean, I can sort of see something has changed, but I struggle to pin-point exactly what without a side-by-side comparison HAHA.
@benevolentia stories now have a max height, which means that we can remove the pinterest-style plugin, which was causing issues with page loads speeds when you tried to loads lots of pages.
