REVIEW REQUEST: Planet Boredom

Welcome to TWF

Can you please review some of the others sites here in the critique section first as per the posting agreement.

Thanks

Ok I did 2 reviews. Can anyone take a look at my site?

Dark and dingy, that's my first impression. I think the dark base is appropriate in this case, but the header graphic could really use some contrast. Add some white and bright colours to make it more interesting. This could look really cool with some bright colours added. The design is kind of retro looking so you could go with some bright orange, hot pink, lime green etc. Think Austin Powers. Then do similar things with the headers. Create a balance between dark base and bright accents.

Normally I say that layouts like this are boring and you should remove all the useless crap on the sidebars. However, you seem to be making good use of the useless crap so might as well leave it there. Same with the navbar - loads of content so no need to collapse it like I would normally reccomend. Although it does looks kind of dumb when the sidebars extend further than the content. Maybe you could find a way to collapse some of those sections on secondary pages.

I do think the main content area could be put to better use. You've got a lot of neat content buried in there so it would be nice to highlight new additions instaed of boring news. I'm supposed to be getting less bored, not more bored here

I have to say that I am really impressed by the amount of content here - you guys must have put in a lot of work on the site. Good job

hehhe! As I mentioned before, the site will be redesigned soon. I prefer to keep it dark, lol, since bright colors are really bad on the eyes when you view a web-page in complete darkness. This site is designed for weird-ohs, so most of them are like that.

Thanks for the useful comments though!

is the site down? I'm getting a 502 error (bad gateway)

No, everything is up.

I'm a weirdo but found the banner area a little to dark, can't work out the bottom line, also the black arrow in the navigation section.
just taking the lesbian quiz (I'm a lesbian trapped in a males body) answers are loading
I reckon you should add some yellow and red into it (colour of flames) to highlight areas if anything
Doh not happy with the quiz result lol (trying the gender quiz) haha I don't think so Tim
back to the site in general, seems to be a little slow in loading (on 56k) and a lil dark but the 'different' content makes up forit I guess.
keep it up
doh, even failed the insanity test "Cured Mental Case" one last quiz - evilness mwahaha

hahahah glad you like it.
The thing is, the site was developed on my LCD which has high contrast ratio, so the site shows up great. I tested it on a CRT, and it is dark. lol.

I find the page very interesting. The news and the way it is laid out is good. Good interative stuff to do. You could lighten it up some and I have a cable connection and the page loaded rather slowly. Good stuff!!
Check out my page please and submit your site too webworldindex.com
Thanks

Submmitted a site.

I removed a couple of sections in order to get accepted by google adsense. Once I do, ill put them back up.

nice work i see a lot of good content. I agree with what was already said add contrast to the logo maybe not pink or green but just light blue to match the planet rings or something like that

Yeah most of what has been said I agree with.

IMHO, quite typical of a portal site really :S
