stop focusing the login text box on pages with content.
it's fine if you're on a dedicated login or search page, but for other pages it's very annoying.

#12I find it pretty hard to read - the text is too light on my screen (MBP).
I appreciate the feedback. The body of each item is black, so I figure you're referring to the header text for each item ("by:", "submitted:", etc.) and the links. I've darkened them up a bit.

Ah, hadn't thought of that. I'll fix it tonight.

That's a lot better - but I still find it a bit of a strain to be honest.
Think it's a few factors - it's still too light (imho) - also it's above the text, so the eye is automatically drawn to it. I keep trying to read it, whereas (I guess) you're actually trying to de-emphasise it. Perhaps try at the bottom of each entry?

#16You need to let the site fail gracefully if JavaScript isn't enabled. You can't even view the about-page without JS. From your description it isn't clear what will happen if you run out of votes. Do they regenerate over time? What's keeping the top-voted from keeping all his votes to him self and ruining the "economy" that way?
You only get votes when another user votes on something you post. The original source of all votes is an administrator/editor with unlimited votes. If there were rampant hoarding, maybe some sort of stimulus package would be in order, like giving all users free votes, but I have no plans for that.
