EDIT: In case you don't know, budgie=parakeet .

The fact that you have the registration notice directly stopped me from registering. Offer content, not badgering and nagging to guests (no offense).

You're talking about that popup hack right? I felt like adding that would turn down registration, but I thought I'd give it a try. Now I know not to have it so I removed it. Any other comments?

Nice start. My only comments are the page background, which doesn't seem to match with the greys very well. Possibly try a lighter sky blue color, not as intense as the one you have now.

I changed the background and the header image. I just can't seem to get this right . How does it look now? Oh yeah, thanks for all the comments and suggestions so far! I hope they all help me attract more members...

Would you mind if I tinker with your logo a bit? I think it needs one bird in it. That background you had was overkill, but I think the site does need a bird graphic or two.

Sure you can edit it. If you need the .PSD I'll PM it to you or something.

I did this one without a PSD - something quick and dirty to just slip a bird in. But, with a bit more time, I can get you something much nicer to give you some choices. I'm in a photoshop mood lately

[DarkWarriorXII]

Thank you for that image. It's pretty nice. I'll attach the .PSD in case you want to use that instead.

The zip has a shortcut to the psd, not the psd itself.

Hmm weird. Lemme try again. See if it works now.
