My site is a gaming site. Can you please go to this link which is a page for a future release of the site and give me your comments. Don't worry about offending me saying this is bad or something similar. I can take it ... trust me. I need as many opinions as possible so that I can improve upon it. Thanks.

HOLY SH*T THAT IS THE UGLIEST PIECE OF SH*T I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! EVEN UGLIER THAN YOUR MOM!!!

Okay...seriously, ;), it's not bad. It looks good, just a few things that I think would make it perfect:

First, the font for the sub-headings (Games, Site Allies) doesn't quite fit the site. Also, "SITE" and "ALLIES" appear to be in all CAPS, but "gamES" does not. Probably just the font, but another reason to change it.
Also, the links at the top (Home, Chat, Forums) could be spaced out a bit more. They seem a little too close together, which makes it harder to read.
Nother thing about the sub-headings, they should be formatted the same on each side, looks better. So should the items underneath.
The content at the bottom, with the ad banner, Copyright notice is a littlestrangley laid out. Maybe have the "Terms of Use", "Privacy", "Disclaimer" buttons centered, then Copyright notice underneath, centered, and the ad banner, if you must have two on a page, centered underneath that, and the final "No copyright infringement intended" message underneath that. That will probably look a little spaced out, but I think it *might* look better.


Okay, maybe some of that is meant to be that way, but that's just what I think...but hey, your site, do what you want.

Nice things that you pointed out. Changing the sub heading fonts seems hard as I dunno which font looks suitable. Hmm, looks like I still have a lot of work ahead of me.

I like it. There's just 2 suggestions I have. Tone down the font size and style for the links on the top bar there, and if you can, kill off the ad.

that banner at the bottom just sucks u should get rid of it plus for the links on the right side get rid of the arrows infront of them and the pics at the top are a little to big plus the pics above your links are way to big make em smaller everything else seems fine i guess

I have been long looking for something to replace the arrows on the right side with. Any body got some suggestions?

The site looks very good. One thing though... here at 600X800, there is just the tiniest bit of horizontal scroll.

For replacing thise arrows, just try stuff, see what you think looks good.

Hmmmm, the horizontal scroll problem, I though I'd fixed that with <body rightmargin=0> . Can you tell me what browser you are using? Oh, if anyone knows of a way to fix the problem tell me because the problem does not surface when I'm doing the website.

Internet Explorer 5.5 something. I got that scroll problem too. Nice layout, I'm a big fan of final fantasy, and after you're done with the new site, I'll come back if I remember. ;) But stuff does look kinda squished. I don't know if this was intentional or if it's just me...but the titles for the subheadings are a little bit off in color. I don't like sounding negative or critical since I can't do any better in my websites, so erm uh it'll work out. :)
