Forum:Main page design: call for improvements

I didn't like the Main_page's design the first time I came here, and this dislike has not improved since. In fact, it turned me back once. I think it overloads the unsuspecting visitor and does not come to the point what NetHack actually is in case people do not yet know.

However, I do very much like its content - featured articles, pointers to roles/items/in-depth, news. Perhaps links to stuff "for newbies" should be added a bit more prominently.

Sadly, I lack the visual communications experience and artistic abilities to make it clearer and better. Would someone else please try?
