I think you mean "Will my decision to advocate something be based on the appearance (but not content) of a fansite"? That answer is no.

JavaFan,

I'm failing to understand why it has to be an either or scenario. Will improving the design take away from the content? Do you think that people will stop contributing to the site? If I and/or a few others volunteer our time to work on this would it ruin your perception of the site? Would you stop using it?

I'm just trying to understand if you simply feel design has no relevance in the decisions people make or if it ultimately hurts a site (namely this one).
