Ignore TPN, he's an old trouble maker with a new name.
Your site is very plain and precise, possibly a bit too precise to the point of looking dull, I'm afraid. Like Konador said, the colours are a bit dull and the site appears empty - it needs pictures. A lot of people are afraid of pictures, despite the fact that we're not all using 28.8 modems anymore and you can get programs which will compress images effectivly.Although the images have to be related to the content, or they're just pointless decoration, and that's a big no no in the web world.
Good, clean and functional if dull (and sooo slow! :) ).
slow !!!
its not slow.
i dont move to begin wiv !!! *hmpf*
anywayz, the pic thing is an idea peeps keep saying, but i need to find some nice one to keep the 'precise' image going. the colour fingy is also being adressed as we speak. im looking into a new scheme for it.
as for my host, they is crap.
im looking about for a new one.
i spect WildWayz will chip in again, tee hee hee :) wiv some suggestions !!
or maybe being a super reseller boy, he will offer me the most attractive hosting package ever marketed !!
thanks for the comments chaps :E
keep em coming.
ALSO, the news system i designed is available free to anyone who wants it. if you want some more info, email/icq me and ill be glad to help. i will be porting it to PHP soon for all you tech fweaks out there :)
bye for now....

I really like the site mate. The one thing I hate in sites is messiness, and your site is the least messy i think ive ever seen.
Nothing that wrong with the colours in my opinion, I think the grey looks good. Altho - if i were designing the site, I would make the top frame a much darker grey and have the banner thing with white text. It would give an extra dimension of colour and tone to the overall feel. And the light blue isn't that menacing, bit too...gentle for the site it's on.
From a design point of view, I love your site and i can empathise with the amount of work it must have taken, specially with all the hand-made scripts and that.
Looks very professional.
oh and one more thing - on the Join form, i think u should have the asterisks next to the required fields instead of the unrequired ones, tis the way with most sites, and could get confusing.
and if u get the time, either u or deano should work on a very simple logo. Maybe just the letter A in a circle or something like that, and put it in the top right and bottom left. Or something like that. A recurring logo is very memorable and would help people get to know your clan.
Good work :D
If u need any help ask me on ICQ. I'm not good with programming or anything, but design and flash issues i can deal with. (www.thewhammybar.fsnet.co.uk my site)
Hammy
yay - some ideas :imu:
thanks to all who have replied so far. i have taken MOST of your ideas on board, and have already made some changes.
At last, someone else who likes the grey color scheme :E yipeeeeeeee !! Thanks Hammy
Hams, i might also take you up on that offer to help wiv da Flash mon. fancy designing a logo for me mate ?? :)
maybe we could do a banner swap, or if you need any help wiv some ASP, drop me an ICQ or saaaaing.
Keep them ideas flowing chaps, the more the better.

Lol i wish i hadn't opened my big mouth :D
I'll muck about with flash and paintshop pro see what i can do.
help with asp would be wubbwy, i dont know the first thing about it.
banner swap, maybe not, links swap, yes.
glad to help,
Hammy
k m8y, np's
just ask me what you want to do wiv da ASP and ill help.
FYI: i changed the layout of the site a bit last night. taking up your vdark top bar theme. take a look and see what i mean.
as for the flash logo thingy, i guess the best place for that is the top left, adjacent to the flash title. the top frame is 76 high.
thanks,

I can't see the difference on the top frame...u sure u've uploaded it yet?
if uve got any ideas for the flash logo thingy, catch me on ICQ. if not....then...I'll...make it up...myself...
and the..er...asp...i dont even know what u can do with it...what're the differences from HTML?
wtf did you do??
hehe
I prefer the light grey side though, the blue is just urgh!
and you should center the banner
erm, ok multiple answere here......
Harriersfan - Do you mean you preferred it when the frame layout was not as it is now, or are you talking about the colors ??
Hammy - The top frame now runs all the way along, instead of butting into the menubar. As for the Flash, I will let your creative tendancies guide you :)
And the ASP m8y, the msg board and news board on my site are all done wiv ASP, so that might give you an idea of what you can do. Also, if you want to get started wiv ASP, the News section on my site is available as a seperate zip which is free to have. Although it might be a bit to complicated to start wiv, but it will expose you to alot of ASP techniques.
The New system is also available to anyone else who would like it. If you are interested drop me an email or saaaaing :)
OK
I have made some changes overnight, mostly to colurs. Can you take a look and see what you think of the new bits.
Comments please :)
tHATS A LOT BETTER NOW, BUT i STILL THINK THE GREY IN THE mAIN SECTION SHOULKD BE DIFFERENT. sEEING THE REST OF THE SITE IS BLUE, WHY NOT CHANGE IT. iT WOULD LOOK BETTER.
Ooops, sorry about the caps. :emb:
Alot better...
although i liked the old one
blue is nice and i quite like the grey with it too, although maybe you need a different gray or something
i prefered the old mouseovers
thanks guys.
Jamp30
were the mouseovers on the menu fast on your pc, cause i found them really slow ?? if they were ok ill put em back. i changed it cause this way was quicker.
n e 1
as for the main page colour, i am going to change it to a light blue, but i fink that willb e ott, as the rest is blue too. i favour another grey. what do you fellas suggest ??
Thanks :)
