You've got to do something about those frames - too many scrollbars on there...

Too many clashing shades of blue. I think that sites usually look best when the number of colours is limited to two or three.

The Welcome message on the first page is almost impossible to read

Well it is bright for sure! Smiling

Well it it not the best designed site in the world but I really like it, it is nice and colourful which fits in well with it's subject.
I might remove the marquee though...

I think that the bright blue/purple is good for the group that this is targeting. And I really like the navigation. But the rest of the site doesn't seem to fit that same level.

-You don't need frames
-Keep the same background color
-I don't like the tables with the moving borders
_Just make sure that your site and it's pages are consistent with eachother.

Well, the color scheme was deliberate, when I am trying for a more professional look I usually use light colors, mostly gray scale with one color to accent... but yea I figured a paintball page could be nice and bright.

I used the frames because of the size of that menu: the menu is 33kb what with the images and html doc, so having it as part of every html doc on the site would add a lot of loading time. The only way I could see getting around loading the menu on every page (javascript, images, etc.) was to put it in a load-once frame.

The marquee: yea, i think i'll get rid of it, it's kinda cheesy...

You think I should get rid of the moving borders? I guess i could handle that.

thanks all!
