Excellent.

We're building a marketplace, so if that isn't clear I definitely dropped the ball in communications on the first few pages. (It's more clear when there are active listings, but we don't have any of those yet...)

Which text specifically? The main body text or some of the lighter grey text? I understand there are some issues with some of the lighter grey text and I'm working out a way to keep the contrast while keeping within our design constraints (When integrated with a vBulletin forum the site takes on a user-specified stylesheet).

Some of the lighter grey must be changed. You don't want your users to have a hard time reading and searching for links. Yes try changing the content of the homepage. Styckyd was built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, this does not explain what the website is. You can put it somewhere else. Try using 5-10 words intro to capture your users attentions. Like " A marketplace for ... built by ...". Make sure your audiences know you're communicating directly to them. Good luck
Thanks again. We'll have the content and service more concisely defined in the next few days.
