...not facebook, not twitter, not any of the other social networking sites. There is a strong community here that at least from my perspective is a great example of diversity and cohesion. But there doesn't need to be a mess of links to every social networking site people could possibly use. Believe me I understand that it brings more traffic to the site to have the functionality of people tweeting links to siftworthy videos and reminding people to use this feature helps further that cause. However I feel the more you coat your space in links to facebook/twitter and the like is the more you lose your own identity. You're putting stickers for other products all over your own artwork. It takes away from the aesthetics of your site and from the ability of your community to maintain their own cultural independence.

Basically enough is enough

Oh and as for the green there. I get it, you run a T-shirt site to help fund your costs. Perhaps target the shirts using tags rather than cluttering the page with 3 generic adverts. It just ads(yup) to the mess.
