Well...it's a little dark for my tastes...
Most of your links don't work, your forums produce mysql errors, it's invalid html, and you could use some spellchecking. Beyond all that, not too bad 🙂

You broke one of the "Lame" rules by doing this :

" This site is best viewed with Microsoft IE 4+ "

You should never put this on a website.

BuzzLY

Or, at the very least, check to see if the user is using the browser you want them to use, and only display such messages if they are using a different browser.

Really, though, it doesn't take much effort to develop a site that works on most browsers, if you follow web standards.

LordShryku

Actually, I think it's backwards. If you use web standards, it should work without trouble on most browsers, with a glaring exception to IE. It tends to ignore a lot of CSS.

Half the links are broken.

Refreshing the home page increases the hit counter. Technically thats not a real hit.

Your sign-up page doesn't do anything. I put in details.. got nothing back.

Your forum page is returning an error that gives away your database user and database name.

Theres no clue about what registering will get me.. I realise I'll be able to access the games.. but what are they? Is it worth registering for.

Theres no explanation about why on earth someone would want to be an affliate with you.

That animation at the top is damn annoying after 2 minutes.

Your HTML code mixes UPPER CASE and lower case tags. Pick one and stick with it.

Its not a terribly new or interesting design.

redrabbit

Also on the games page you have some spelling mistakes, specifically in this:

The games here are nicked from other sites. I hop you enjoy all the games!.

color blind people like myself depend on contract within sites to make them readable (they also depend on color theory books to design web sites since we can't see what the hell we're doing). I can't see a damn thing on this site, none of the text is readable and your mouseovers are barely pressent.

redrabbit

drawmack. Can you check out my site.

www.garyhooks.co.uk

Is it visible and clear to you ?

drawmack

redrabiit, yeah that one works just fine

BuzzLY

You know... I never really thought about colorblind people trying to view my sites. I found a site that can check your site for colorblind compatibility: www.visicheck.com. I ran it on your site, redrabbit, and it looks ok. I don't know how valid the test is, though. I mean, how do you KNOW that's how the site looks to colorblind people?

I love hit counters, reminds me of geocities and tripod, ahh those where the good old days.
Anyway I'm sure you posted for some nice comments so i'll give you one...
I like that: "The games here are nicked from other sites."

Worthless Advice:
get rid of the hit counter, I would expect to see them on geocities. Shouting about your websites stats is just dumb.
Customize your forum.
Fix your links
your annoying logo: look into swish, it would maybe be less annoying if it did more than one thing or if it only did that once.

And why is your email address so small?, email harvesters are programs that read the source code, they'll still pick that up.

There are actually many types of colorblindness.

There is something called color juxtaposition, where people see all the colors but see them wrong. For example blue looks green and green looks blue.

There is something called monochromatic, where everything is shades of the same color but it could be any color.

There is something called muted where the person sees all the colors but shades of colors are lost.

There are also a couple more. I have a combination of color juxtaposition and mutes.

The purpose of this is to point out that Buzzly is right, no program could really test for all types of colorblindness. Most web-savy color blind people create their own style sheet and over ride your settings anyway.
