Yeah I know, I had to think a bit before I made that decision.
I had a feeling that wouldn't help much. I just get to over-excited and wanted everyone to know about the website.

Mistake it was for the moment.
But It will get right eventually. Just going to take me some time.

you're right: you don't improve over night but you become a tiny bit better every day as long as you work on it. Some things that might help you....

make sure your html works and rather stay with basic functions than trying something fancy thats bugged. Make sure it works on both popular browsers (latest ff and ie7/8). BTW you should have both installed. FF is quite handy for webdesign.
And, if you ask me, hands of flash. There's nothing more annoying than flash sites Razz

About graphics:
- Use a decent tool. Paint.net and gimp are excellent freeware.
- Don't use gif unless really needed. use png if you need transparency or jpg for decent quality with low image size
- browse this site for website colour palettes: http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes or use adobe kuler to create a nice palette http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/rating?time=30

The website has taken a different look. Same theme, just some changes.

And a new section is added to the website. Will be updated quite a bit.

I looked up this "Violation code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act", found out that it was some made up bullshit some guy made. Do you seriously believe that saying "You cannot persecute me" will give you legal immunity?

I take it all back. I see you've added a ROM section. If you make this part good and useable and robust, I (and a few other people, I'm sure) would be willing to submit to the terrible looking banners and color schemes do get a few juicy ROMs (Although I've noted you don't have anything for the NDS. Too bad).

But only once. After that, I might not come back until I needed more ROMs. Better than nothing though, right?

I'm not trying to bump and OLD topic.

I Just wanted to let you all know this website has completely evolved from how it used to be. Still uploading downloads daily.

But overall quality, this website has changed and looks A LOT better than it used too.


I hope you all like it!

<a href="http://www.gamerz-utopia.com" target="_blank"></a>


Give me ideas on what else I should add to the site, what games I should start to support, etc.

I like the style more now. I'd advise you to change the homepage layout a bit. Noone cares about the playlist: put that somewhere at the bottom. Keep the news at top but maybe make 3 columns: a small one for logging in, a bigger one for the news and a third one for the popular downloads.

Thank you Goztow.

I'll try to play around with it a bit for the rest of the night (5:09 A.M. here)

But I'll try to spruce up the overallness of the website.


Thank you for your Input and how nicely you put it! Razz.

I would say a negative constructive comment IS positive.
I wouldn't use a website that looks very cluttered with usless infomation with a bad colour theme and a humongous ugly banner. You also have loaded it with useless scripts, such as the "download counter" which only frustrates me more when I can't find a direct link and have go through more than enough links to find something. The HTACCESS logs provide a good enough download log. Negative comment? Yes it is, I'm entitled to it.
