If you want to know where your site ranks...

[conkermaniac]

I will review your site for you. Note that this is NOT one of those regular "post your URL and I will give you comments" type of review. Instead, I will give you a very simple rating using this criteria:



Information: 30 points
Colors: 20 points
Images: 20 points
Other Formatting: 10 points
Speed/Ads (if applicable): 10 points
Interactivity: 10 points

Overall: 100 points total


No comments or anything...Just these 6 scores and the final rating. This is to help you compare yourself to other websites and see how good your are against many other websites in various categories.

Great! Someone's willing to give it a try! :D

But could I first ask you why none of the links on your site works?

[Cyber]

oh, those pages arent up yet, soon tho

[conkermaniac]

Kinda hard to rate information or anything really, with only one page...Are you sure you want me to go on with it? :confused:

You can do mine soon. I got the main template going its just I need to add all the content.

conkermaniac,

I thought you were supposed to review our sites? Come on? I wanna know what you think! I am sure other people do also!

[conkermaniac]

I don't live in the same time zone as you guys, sorry. Therefore, I was asleep while you guys made all those posts. :)

I'll get started with Deeplist in my next post.

I'm one of the webmasters of emunetwork too, and we're one network, thats why I have links to emunetwork. And about the ROMs, we just opened for 1 day or so, so please don't look at that yet.

You are on the right track. In information, you lost lots of points because of your unfinished site. I think you can understand that. However, I think you could have been a little more creative with the menus. Just using text doesn't really cut it. Try using images or at least a different font. It looks bland right now. Also, your forums need major customization. Otherwise, good luck!

Just wanted to give some feedback in case you wanted it.

[GameSource]

Yeah, I just started workin on the forums last night after I posted, and I use text because if the servers slow, then it would affect the 56kers if I used nothing but images.

I just use domain forwarding with ZoneEdit. It's really easy. Though, I can't have an automated script... but it means I can give people subdomains at no hassle to myself! :cool:

Havn't seen Zoneedit mentioned around for a while... so In case you don't know what that is... it's the same as MyDomain.com.

If I get around to it I will change the titles to images! I don't know how I should make them though... what colours, effects, etc? Got any suggestions? :cool:

[conkermaniac]

With a "word art" type of style...But don't make it easily recognizable as one of those ugly Microsoft ones. :)

[Mekhu]

Conker....

why not make a site award type thing? You could have people submit site, rate it, and then send out your analyzed stats and an award....

Here's one I worked on when I was working for a design company for a couple of months...

We actually hit a point when we were getting like 40 submissions a day...

What you could do is have them submit Name, URL, email...

then like once a month send out some sort of email where you could do a SUPER review for a small fee...

Just a thought :)

That's a great idea! I already do "super reviews" over at WebsiteForums. I give you about 7 or 8 comments to work with (some compliments, others constructive criticism), as well as a final rating. I don't believe in charging money for such things; I don't think anyone would ask for a rating anymore (and the sites that do want to be rated will be all A+ websites). :)

I'll do a tally of the best websites of January after this month. Remember, you can correct your problems and come back for a review! :)

OK, for anyone else who STILL hasn't figured out his identity, the above quoted post should just about give it away.

Well,
I did get a B lol, thank you and the reasons for not so many images is loading time. I have everything down to the minimal amount so I can keep the loading time down to a key. and everything being on the right side is there because of a design :) and if you look closely to the background you will see that it isn't just a color but a design :) and thanks for the comment.

[conkermaniac]

Sorry, but I don't see the design. I checked your source code...nothing there either. Am I missing something? :confused:

Perfect chance for me to post the limitations:

no offence man, but this aint a very accurate test, this is just your oppinion.

(dont mean to start a brawl in here but some people do have other opinions)

Well, obviously, that's what this forum is for. If you want multiple opinions, then make a new thread. If you ALSO want my opinion and to compare your site with others, then post here. It's quite simple...

:p

Yeah, my thought exactly... who makes you the expert? I think most of your reviews are way to high. above 80% means it's a pretty nice site. You rated every site 80% or above, while there are a few sites that really suck.

For example
http://www.btinternet.com/~duranrules/index.htm
80%? no way.

http://www.drcorp.net/
94%???????

I think you're just trying to get more members to your forum (which looks extremely UGLY) in this kind of smart way :mad:
I thought this forum was meant for site reviews, not only this topic. If you want to do reviews, just reply to posts!

[conkermaniac]

If you know where my forum is, then you must be psychic. The one in my signature is not mine.

75 - 80: Bad webpage (I have handed out a few of these)
81 - 85: Fair webpage
86 - 90: Average webpage
91 - 95: Good webpage
96 - 100: Excellent webpage

You guys may have INCREDIBLY low standards in schoolwork, but anything below a 90 for me is disasterous. Luckily, I don't get many of those grades. :)

Anyway, Neverm1nd, any site would be better than your site, which is not even accessible. :rolleyes:

OK, this will be the last review I do. Sorry guys, but I'm concentrating on the detailed reviews now after the criticism. As you can see, in my latest reviews, the grades are INCREDIBLY low. Few scores out of the 70s, not to mention the 80s and 90s! But anyway:

Nah...I'm more interested in the Civil War weapons. Today, battles are more of a "technology" fight rather than a strategic one. Do you happen to know what kinds of weapons they used back then? I know that the most common was undoubtedly the musket rifle. It was accurate and had long range, especially with the Minie ball. Does anybody know any weapon back then that was even better than the musket rifle?

Perhaps you could include some info on this on your site, but you probably only really care about modern-day weapons. :)

No I am really, really bad about weapons used before WWI. WWI I am a bit sketchy about. But I can name many weapons used in WWII... I can name most weapons used in the Vietnam war, and the Gulf War.
