Things look pretty good. One thing I notice is that there is only sporadic reference to fantasy. A few places you mention SF&F, but elsewhere the site only makes references to SF. For instance:

“Q: What kinds of creations are eligible for display at a SciBrick event?

A: SciBrick is specifically a science fiction LEGO¨ model oriented organization. That includes spacecraft, aliens, mecha, Moonbase Modules, and other creations that are recognizable as science fiction models. All scales and styles are welcome, but other genres and non-LEGO¨ models are best suited for other venues.”

Also your main sections on the front page are Space, Mecha, and Moonbase. Where’s a poor Tolkien MOC’er to go to find the Fantasy section? Or is “Fantasy” being defined in such a way as to exclude the more Sword and Sorcery regions of Fantasy?
