My bloody eyes!!! I mean seriously, I think my eyes are bleeding! So... much... pink... Don't you think that's a little stereotypical? I mean, I'm sure there are some girls who don't like pink out there!

My Xanga Site!
--------------------------------------
I'll just comment with this:
A web designer with hurt feelings is a web designer doomed to fail. Some may like your site, some may not. That's the way this business is, you can't please everyone. However, it is implied that you posted your site here for feedback. Did you honestly expect everyone to jump on and say that they loved it? I said that I didn't like it plainly because hot neon pink is a major headache to me. Am I the target audience? Obviously not because I am a male. However, you posted on a site that is open to both genders.
The thing that somewhat upset me is that it was stated that you have created the site. It's upsetting to me because I am a webmaster/developer/programmer and my code has been stolen or used without my permission, or my code has been used and someone has taken the comments out that I created the code.(And yes, it was stated that you created the site. Modification by definition is well, modification, not creation.)
My point?
First always give credit in your code or on your page if you are using someone else's code. Second, if you plan on designing more sites or making a career out of it, put your feelings aside, not everyone is going to be pleased with what you design. Sometimes you ignore them, sometimes you keep the data and change something if more people state the same.
And I will end with this. The site is good to start with, but do not disregard people's dislikes of your site as flames, take ithem as constructive criticisms. My advice would simply to post props to the template designer (you can do this in your code, doesn't have to be on the page itself) and to tone down the pink. Think of what you want your audience to first think of when they enter your site. What did I think of? Hot neon pink = pink flamingo yard ornaments = cheap. All I saw was hot pink, hot pink!
edit: And one more thing, scrolling and scrolling for content is a major no-no. I hate scrolling! Also, the banners on the other skins are too big as in a previous post.
Clever Glove, am I correct to assume you have read anything on philosophy? Some of your comments remind me of Aristotle

Dekron,
I really do appreciate all you have to say on my site but if you actually went through it and read it ...you will find credit where it is do for the coding and everything. I have posted a thank you to soopportal and to soopskins. Actually even sent out a big thank you to Heather who actually is a member of my site and works for soopskins.org. Also if you read through posts you will see that I did post if you don't like the pink pls go to the box under navigation and select a different on.
I have had huge feedback from the members of the sites and yes we have addressed all their wants and needs. So I guess all can say again is thank you Dekron and all others for the feedback.

I have read some of the content, but I can't access much of the it because i'm not a member (for obvious reasons, I tend to stray away to being a member of a "girls only" site). As for the skins, yes I have noticed. I am not sure if you noticed what I said about your banners on you other skins, but they are too large and extending beyond the browser (as taskyz said in another previous post about the "girl power" skin). Once again, please do not take my posts as flames.
edit: And yes I see you do take user feedback, as that pig of the month talk kind of brought me a laugh.

Actually you should be able to read all content Dekron even though you aren't a member you just can't post. As for the other skins Vyk is working on it ....along with increase server space cause we have already filled 75MB rofl.
Yes the pig of the month club is a possible idea...not one I am promoting directly but we will see how the poll goes.
Anyways nice speaking with you again.

As far as the skins go, we gave credit where credit was due to not only where the skin came from, but the actual designer who is also a member, in 3 places.
As a developer, I agree with you totally, and I haven't taken credit for anything I didn't do...
matter of fact, haven't taken much credit for the things I did do either. It's there for fun, it's a work in progress, and the members are having fun with it...that's all I'm worried about. I make the changes they ask for and go on to the other sites I have to work with.
I do appreciate the actual criticism, will take it all into account for the changes that are planned.
Thanks,
Vyktor
Why do a girl need to go to a girl gamming site when they can go to a site where everybody is accepted . . .
it's kinda stupid. For example: It's like having Game Boy and Game Girl when the game boy comes in colors accepted by girls.

I dont get it either, I dont go around promoting a "boys only" gaming website. I like interacting with all people, not just one gender. Seems sexist to me. But then maybe theyre all lesbians... ooooo now that sounds exciting!

I still don't see why(
) buy yeah, if you want one you can have one.
The thing is we need to be together. We need girls here (
) to be a part of our mmorpg community. We need guys and girls to share our love for gamming.
Why can't we be friends,

Yeah i guess i musta misunderstood: "Cause it is all about the Girlz!!" Silly me.... Anyway I think its pretty jacked up to try and take away or take a portion of the the females from our site and Im surprised this thread hasnt been locked. You have 10 posts which are prolly all in this one thread so you contribute nothing to the site except to try to take web traffic.
Edit: Rikimaru_X: youre whipped. Im sure you'll be signing up as a "girl".

I don't know what all the controversy is here. Maybe you should check the girls gamer site and find out why it is only girls. There are no flame wars, no leet speak, no disrespect... And it's still a forum about gaming.
It's just funny to see how most likely 50% of the population there are actually guys
. Anyways, good luck with the site Serrafina. It looks like a nice community.
ummmm ......me!

Its called web traffic. All time spent on MMORPG.com = good for the site. Half the time spent at MMORPG.com and half somewhere else = bad for the site. Surely you must know that or you wouldnt be here recruiting for your site.

I'm not signing up on that site cuz I won't even put my time into it (no offence)
ramadin, calm down. You seem a bit tense. We all have done a little advertizing and may have didn't known it (not me though).
