Default GamerzNeeds.Net Site Review

Hey all

http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/

This month I have just had a new style made for the site, then had a graphic artist design some new images around the site and a new official logo for the site. Only a few things left to go.

What do you think of the style?
What do you think of the logo?

I had the server upgraded a couple of weeks ago, and in August the site really picked up, so hopefully you wont get any server is busy messages. I am in the process of upgrading the site further to handle even more people.

I also had a coder build a custom product for me which i'll show off in a week and see what everyone things of that as well.

Feel free to comment on anything about my site.

Thanks

I don't blame you for being busy lol, now a mod on vb ^^ and all the other stuff you probably do as well.

Oh yeah, because you have been with my site for ages, what do you think of the changes personally?

It looks good, the style is a good change, I've personally gotten tired of the old Gunbound one. And the site loads about 10x faster.

Glad you noticed a difference in the speed of the server, I still want to improve it more, have it handle really high server loads better.

Anyone else?

First impression I had was 'PSP Website' now theres nothing wrong with that, but it doesnt interest me . I like the way though it integrates with the stats now that's cool!. Fluid styles aint really my thing so I can't really comment on the layout.

The logo (the white old Nintendo controller) is cool but I think you could maybe do a little better (Oh god I am making out your site is bad!) it's not, its awesome .

But overall nice site , never heard of it before looks like it's a success .

Thanks, it was a tough decision to go with fluid or fixed, I originally had it as a fixed style, and then changed my mind and switched to a fluid after doing some research and I think after all that, feel it is better (or I hope lol)

the PSP will be going, and something 100% custom and unique will be going there, I am not exactly sure what, but something to still include the stats in the middle. Any ideas on what you think would go well there are welcome.

Choosing a logo for the site is really tough, I had this logo custom made so it is unique to my site, I wanted it fairly simple, but something people could recognize as my site on there return.

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming

I know what you mean by choosing a logo, and with a multi platform site you can't just choose one console to put on the logo, good luck!
