Egad. Look at Aku's review. I'm sure it contains some great information, but why is it formatted with margins making up about 70% of the screen? No can do.
It doesnt help that there is little or no paragraph indentations, but if Aku did that, the margins may approach 75%!

The paragraph indentation problem is because we had a word/character count issue, which has now been fixed.
From what Chris has told us in the Site issues thread, the width isn't going to be changed.

You should tell Yahoo the same thing ;) they tend to like their homepage designed for 800 pixels fixed width as well. Here's a few other sites that use the same design principles as we do when it comes to fixed width (800 pixels wide):
