Gentlemen...just trying to enhance site.
The calendar and seach boxes were my primary concerns as several people had asked for both. The calendar is very useful especially for those who want to put in an event. And about 4 billion individuals have asked about a more apparent search option.
The users and stats are just there to fill in dead space below the requested items (make it look a bit more symetric).
None of the little lefty islands takes up any significant bandwidth and honestly it doesn't look half bad!
Please give it a chance.
