Made website, need opinion... :)

[Toadmund]

I joined.
Maybe the favour can be returned?
I need the support!
Not easy to get going!
I need a better hook, better topics, must pinpoint needs, need more members, all of that and etc.

Thank you for joining. I am working on tweaking the intro page a little. Maybe a better background and some non-obnoxious music... Thanks for joining the forum whoever has...

[Ender Black]

Music?!? OMG what is this 1995? Please, don't. It is the webmaster kiss of death!

[makinasvp]

you're right, which is why I uploaded voices instead. No music.

[makinasvp]

I think Im gonna add a different background... I'm not sure though. White isn't too compelling.

Tux is still 1100x1300 instead of proper scaling to 471x503. If you are not going to scale the image down to the page requested size than you should just leave the image at 1100x1300. The scale rendering by browsers is horrid. So throw open the gimp and drop a resize crop on his arese.

Also something you should take note of:

<bgsound src="redpill.mp3" loop=infinite>

Stuff like that, unless you are trying to sell audio... get rid of it... fast. It's an annoyance... I don't want to hear it over the music I'm listening to... it makes me want to immediately close the browser and switch to lynx (text only). Trust me, I've been doing this professionally for many years, in 99' and 2K I created the site used by Gateway.com.

i don't like the text on the introductory page.

I agree 100% with you, as I just did that (closed a tab, didn't run to lynx... Although I use w3m occasionally since Ubuntu comes with it)

I'd say please make the audio a link or something.

EDIT: Ok, I surfed it a little bit. I like it, although I'd say don't link to MS. Link to something like this

I like the forum too, anything that isn't using fixed width makes me happy (I like sites that make use of screen real estate.)
As for Tux, anyone think it would like nice with a transparent bg? I use custom colors for firefox to make it easier to read (right now it's chalk board style, darkgreen bg and wheat colored font, based it on an emacs theme...)

Keep up the good work.

no spash screen and blue pill/red pill choice, it's old stuff. besides that, the forum seems ok, I like the artwork
hope you'll have more members soon
