Hey everyone, and all to the new people that I haven't met yet! I have been gone for a little bit and has finally made it back. It's been a few years since everyone has seen our site and a lot of changes has been made. I am going to put this out to everyone and ask that you give me your honest opinion on is it user friendly and the looks of things.

Can't wait to get back in the seat of things here and get into some great discussions!!

Hello and Welcome Back.

* Running Firefox on a 21" screen with resolution set to 1024x768, your above the fold layout on your home page looks okay, but below the fold when I scroll all the way down, I'm not sure of. To me it look cluttered with ad like content boxes.
* Your copyright should be changed from 2002 to 2008. Also the bottom of this box looks cut off as the admin login is cut in half.
*The plain text links at the bottom of the page to me do not fit in and look like they do not belong there. "Maybe slide them up into the box under the admin login?"
* Your left nav bar looks unfinished with the 2 blank rows.
* Your pages do not seem to flow from one page to the other as they all have a slightly different layout.
* Is there anyway to break up the link to Astral arcade and make all the text on that nav bar uniform?
* This is a pet peeve of mine...remove the css from your page and put it in an external css file.

All in all to be honest you page looks dated. The use of the old style blue underlined text links does not help. "The underline turns a light purple where the text itself stays blue. This does not look right".

My recommendation would be to try and make all your pages to one uniform design / layout. Replace the old style text links with either non-decoration text links and bold the links or make them some sort of hover. All the content appears to be individually wrapped in its own box. Get rid of all the boxes and make the content flow.

An animated GIF for a favicon! That is so wrong.

The site has a very dated look about it.
