The thing you have to realize is that people are largely ungrateful tasbards, or it will sometimes seem that way. Kyle found this out when he held a discussion on things to improve with The Dink Network, and there were hardly any responses. He was a bit disappointed, but I remember (perhaps incorrectly) telling him that it is the staff's 'job' to think about what to improve and do with The Dink Network, not the user. The user comes here to have fun (or start flame wars), not to do our job for us.
Especially with a small community, getting the general public to put forth any effort towards your project is a folly, whether you want suggestions or someone to design a critical part of what you want to release.
By the way, why don't you create a clone of the old interface, at least to begin with? Icky it may be, but it is what people are used to, and trying to change it completely may make people less likely to accept it when it is released. And then when people can actually see how to create an interface, hold a contest for an alternative interface (and maybe even default) to be included in future releases.
