                        I like simple too, but I think you could make the site a little more pleasing on the eyes.  Maybe a subtle color scheme?

                        Yeah, it's too simple. I understand your point on the front page, however, your lack of style looks too much like a piece of paper and THAT is annoying.
At the very least choose a different color scheme (light on dark), since it is being viewed on a monitor and not a piece of paper.
As for your content I haven't looked around much.

                        I agree about the light on dark, even a warm grey would work. 
Also, center your page, I like to look at the middle and not far left
of my screen.
I like the simple easy to navigate style

                        I agree with a warm grey and the middle layout.  I think it would look heaps better.

                        Not to be the stick in the mud but, the maps page took almost 8 minutes to load all those thumbs. I'd recommend breaking the page in two for any 56k people. I couldn't get a size to display on them but they seemed to be a bit high res for simple thumbs. Prolly seemed that way because it was trying to load more than one at a time.

                        After getting used to the Snarkpit's black theme, its hard to deal with bright white pages.
