It's YOU!

I'm gonna make a thread on my site about this. You have possibly the sickest forum I've seen in awhile...well except for a few things. It's as if reviews are only to tell you what you are doing wrong, I know.

But I've used your site as a reference before due to the level of sickness that it displays.

I really enjoyed the opening you added to it. I love your banner. I like your offline/online images, and the new posts icon is wicked.

Very gothic oriented which works well with what you wanted.

However I think there are some drawbacks to consider.

First of all, I'm guessing the Hand icon appears during the opening if I want to skip it. The negative is having to hit that every time. Unless I could go directly to the forum and skip the pizazz.

With limited registering, you're really restricting your member base and unfortunately cannot attract new members that are curious about the game before playing.

Design doesn't always mean members, we all know that.

I'm not liking how you went all transparent on me. I just don't enjoy the way it looks now indifferent to before. The borders are near useless even as white, I can't distinguish columns now which makes it hard visually.

If the blood is red on the top and the bottom, then it should have been red on the background, that makes no sense man.

Overall I love this forum, would I join? no, i don't play the game, lol. Have heard of it though but I try to stay away from MMORPG. I like some things you are trying to do here but I would have almost made the opening video an option, like watch our site intro video and put it in the navbar, that way if people want to see it they can. I'm sure you wanted to make a good impression, but if I have to deal with it every time, it gets annoying.

Love the sound, and I found the sound button pretty easily.

No one can deny the level of professionalism shown here, but I think there are some things that could be tweaked. Heck I'd even recommend a semi transparent set of tables, so you can kind of show the bg through the tables, like we did on my own site.

I want to know your coder, unless it's you, then I know who you are.

I don't have the same reaction as Boofo, load times were very fast for me. No problem at all actually.

I think most of all I'm impressed with not just the effort but really trying to do something new. Flash is mostly seen as a good additive and shouldn't be over done. But why couldn't the whole forum be flash is what i'm wondering. N' with computers getting better all the time, won't we be able to handle all the flash that is going on?

Regardless, I don't think you've went too far yet. BG is the worst or transparency being 100%, I don't like that.

Great work overall.
