EDIT: As an example, when I was writing this post it was a small paragraph; it's just two lines as the forum displays it.

Well, that's sort of opinion there. You have to have both to please people. I personally prefer a max-width since I had everything stretched on my 1920x1080 monitor. Like you said, you can write a long paragraph and it end up being two lines. It makes it very weird to read stuff. I've gotten a bit used to it, but I still prefer a max-width.
I'd have to agree LTM. My resolution is 1680x1050, so I have also gotten used to the 2 line paragraphs. It's my preference.

A similar layout made from scratch but reminiscent of the original layout would be far more preferable and definitely more worthwhile.

I suppose I could whip up a regular version of it; wouldn't take all that long. Gimme a sec.
*standard cartoon hammers/chainsaws/power tools/other insane sound effects*
Ta-daah.
("The Ultimate Zelda Classic Resource" is one of the main page's titles, so I went with that.)
I also have an animated .gif version with the Tirforce blinking blue like it does in Zelda 1, but found out ImageShack doesn't like animated .gifs; they don't animate after being uploaded. Ah well, gonna go find another site that does retain the animations in them.
Ooh! Y'know, what'd really be cool, though, I just thought of, is if ZC's NES font was used on the site (and the programming set up for it), in place of the small text being hard-drawn into the logo here; so that the main page's title would appear in the logo, and it'd be different every time the page was refreshed, just like the main page title does now.

The problem with the current layout is that it uses HTML tables, which are a sin in the web design community of today, and so using the same layout but with added bells and whistles would needlessly overcomplicate things (see the links I provided to understand why tables are bad).

Oh.
Well, then...yeah. I totally meant a similar one that doesn't you tablets.
Tictacs.
Tables.

Photobucket is, and will always be better than ImageShack XP. Upload the GIF there.
