Thank you for the kind words.
Interesting thought on that. At the moment, there is no functionality to redirect the applications elsewhere, nor to disable the "Apply Now" link.
There is, however, a little hack you could use to redirect your Applications.
Head to
Admin > Application Settings, and in the text box labeled "The Little Blurb at the top" enter the following:
<script language=javascript>location.href='http://address/to/your/apps'</script>
Just make sure you set that address to the address you want.
It'll be a little weird, but it'll work.
