Is somebody messing with the logo?

Union rep or not it looks really f’in retarded with the giant grey bald spot.
 
Well at least I’ll get to enjoy Phil Lamarr once the kid discovers it….

Not quite. You guys used to have the GOC banner on the header div a span style graphic that was better optimized for desktop traffic.

Now you switched to an icon style graphic, I think maybe to try to create a better mobile experience, but it creates a HUGE dead space in your header, especially in desktop view.

That's pretty poor UX and graphic's design, since white space like that on your above-the-fold site real estate is a huge waste.

You could stuff that space full of ads or CTA's to promotions, which would help boost revenue and attract traffic.

Here's some screenshots to illustrate what I mean:

Space filled with the graphic at least directs user attention to the "GOC" / "Gun Owners of Canada" text which programs them to better remember / access the page through search.

The dead space makes "GOC" "Gun Owners of Canada" text harder to recognize on first glance, which for first time users doesn't create a powerful enough of an impression that would help them access the sight later through search.
 
You can't take an outdated template like the one in use here now and made it responsive. You can try to make it mobile friendly but that really won't work too well and isn't worth the effort attempting to tweak things.

GOC should put the old desktop logo back and install a second user selectable template that is mobile friendly. This is the common solution for vBulletin sites of this "vintage".
