The sidebar - Darth-Apple - November 2nd, 2013
Personally, I've had some mixed feelings about it. I like sidebars when they are done right, but I'm not quite sure it really "fits" here quite yet. It also looks terrible on smaller monitors, so there is that to consider as well.
Anyway, I've decided to put it to a vote. What is your opinion on it? Be sure to vote in the poll!

So where are my cookies?
Alright, serious time. I don't find the sidebar detrimental to the site's look myself. I also find it quite useful. So that's why I personally voted to keep it.

I think it doesn't look quite right. And what is there isn't super useful, to me, all the time.
Maybe with some improvements down the line, it could work.

If the sidebar is removed, the prostats thing will be added to the footer again, so I think it will balance out to some degree. I personally think the sidebar works better for its purpose than prostats does, but prostats also looks nicer (in my opinion).

As you may have noticed, the sidebar has been removed. This was actually accidental and was due to a plugin related glitch, but the poll results seem to lean towards removing it anyway.
I'm working on a minor theme update, and have decided to leave it disabled in preparation to the update. This won't be anything major, but will be a slightly cleaner version of the current theme. Hopefully it will help everything to look cleaner in the end.
