Millions of Web sites have left-logo placement, Nation 1ne. That's the first place people's eyes look when they visit a Web page, at least Western readers who are accustomed to reading left to right. It also allows for a large banner ad to the right, and this is an advertising-supported site. An extended centered logo would require different vector art and not allow for the same level of advertising support up there. (I know lots of people don't care for ads, but they're a reality if you want this site to stay free to members.)

If it's any consolation, our owner is working on a site redesign right now that's going to be rolled out fairly soon. His plans may include a new logo placement, but I won't be holding my breath on that. I think the logo looks good where it is now!
