Orchid Forum

projectshrike · 03-07-2004, 05:13 AM

Hey all. I recently started a forum for people to hang out at and just have discussions. If you're into art and writing, there are also places to post your work and receive feedback. But the forum is really for anybody who likes to discuss things such as gaming, music, TV, movies, anime, manga, comics, etc.

We desperately need some new faces there, so if you want to, please take a look and perhaps stick around. I'd really appreciate it.

yeah, i do get that feeling. There are more forums then there are people. It also goes through phases. It will start off slowly, then as more people hear about it, it becomes popular then members die off here and there. shame, but that's the way it works!

So vamps, you gunna invent some new medium or something?!

*gets out pipe, cherry tobacco, and slippers*

*ahem*

I gave your forum a gander and found it nor interesting or funny. In fact, its rather filled with unneccessary smilies and super-predictable jokes.

Well, I'm not going to be as harsh as some of the previous replies

But, (you knew there had to be one) I think there is too much information hitting the viewer all at once. When the page loaded (very Quick, thanks) I had to step back to absorb everything. Now I'm an old guy 49 so maybe it isn't too much for a younger viewer. However, I would try to move credits, skins and any non-essential info to the bottom of the screen. People expect to see a bunch of stuff at the bottom. Of course very few read it either

Perhaps condensing information bars would help also. Now in Tech Blue, I found it much cleaner and pleasing to the eye, but Midnight Madness was like looking at a maze. Overall Good Job!
