Howdy folks
Yes, it's live. Still needs LOTS of work, but it's a work of love in progress hehe.
Anyhow's feel free to check it out, offer up any advice you want. You can contact me here on this site, at the www.MMONut.Com (http://www.MMONut.Com) site or by email.
Please bear with me as I get it populated with content as well as pictures and the like. I just want to make sure that I get the proper authorization from the various companies before I start posting pictures and movies and the like.
Hope to see you there!

Thanks! :)
It's look is really dated, but I'm proud to say I did it myself.
If there is anyone out there that knows of a great online resource for helping people learn more current web development skills, PLEASE I'm all ears. I really want this site to work out. Feel free to critique as you see fit.

Here's a question, what are some similiar sites you want to emulate? The look of an allakhazam or a warcry are always so cluttered - but if thats the route you want to go there isn't much better way to go. Then there are news based sites reviewing MMORPG games like http://mmorpg.com but they don't really have decent reviews or anything like what I believe you are trying to accomplish. If you get a decent look concept, I'd be glad to help you out a bit though most new sites like this are pretty php driven which is way out of my league.

Yeah, I just picked up a book on more recent web creation techniques.
I agree some of those other sites are VERY cluttered and people often get lost in them if they don't know what they're looking for.
I'm simply looking to create a fun, somewhat easy to navigate website that has lots on the go, but at the same time has an easy "feel" to it. By easy I mean, after a few minutes of clicking around, people know exactly where they can go to get the information they want.
I'll post here with any updates and if you like,feel free to make suggestions. :)
Thanks again for the posts by the way, I'm going to give them a look and see what I can learn from them. And thanks for the offer Kelraz, I might have to tap into your expertise at some time in the near future.

Soley my opinion, I like the professional looking sites and thats where I read my reviews and such about games, your site atm gives me a sense that its just some kid who is sitting in his basement somewhere writing his own opinion. Totaly my views and I'm probably just shallow.

Site revised, feel free to have a look at it. Completely rehauled it using CSS.
Many, that tool is worth it's weight in GOLD! :)

Much better in my eyes, I like it. Now if only, it was in any other perspective other then a Canadians I would care :P

LOL! Yeah, the reason I put that there (besides BEING a Canadian) is that I want to show the industry that there are players up in the Great White North (We do have electricity!!!), and that all too often points of view regarding server downtimes, customer service, game shipping dates, etc, are often presented strictly from a west coast, US point of view. It would also be nice to run contests with prizes that are available within Canada as well.
That being said, please feel free (and this goes to anyone) to come visit and take part. We Canadians are a friendly lot ye know, eh? ;)

This is completely off topic, but Binny, *where* did you get that avatar thing? I get so sick of seeing all those black zealot billboards down here (presuming to 'speak' for god, assuming it exists, has to be the ultimate hubris), and when I noticed your sig thing I spit Diet Coke all over the exams I'm supposed to be grading... :)
And yeah, I put Diet Coke in caps and 'god' in lower. I know which of these two nonsubstances runs my life... ;)
Regards,

Just put up in the past couple of days my Vanguard and Age of Conan reviews.
Damn! Hehe, this review stuff can keep you pretty busy!
Working on some concepts for my web comic, and am also working on methods to take ORly and Wa11y and turn them into toys, T-Shirts, Mugs, that sort of stuff. You know, Consumer Whore! :D Seriously though, I'd like that stuff to simply pay the hosting bills hehe.

Hoping to have my World of Warcraft review up and running by the end of business Sunday.
I'm actually kind of glad that the expansion has been delayed, simply for the fact that it gives me time to find someone to write for the game after the expansion is released. I don't plan on playing the game at that point (my account is long expired), so it would be unfair for me to comment.
I am asking the guys and gals here at Ayo Ro for a little bit of help.
I'm looking for a bit of a boost in traffic on my forums. Any and all traffic is greatly appreciated. I'm just looking to.....fill things out a bit. There are plenty of games and other topics to discuss, so feel free to have at it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I've noticed from friends who themself have tried to start forums for there hometowns and such, its practically impossible to get people to chat on a forums that has no topics, they ended up creating some dummy accounts and threads to make the forums look more alive and then people started to come.
BTW i was looking at the website and just wanted to say its annoying clicking on Forums and then having to click again on another link to get to the forums, do you really need that?

Oh and I dont like it opening up in a second browser window but again this is soley my own opinion.
Binuven
10-28-2006, 02:19 PM
Yeah, I do agree with the forums link. Believe me when I say I'm working on that.
Still getting to know NetObjects (FANTASTIC program btw). Being a one man show makes for much work hehe. Rest assured though, it's in my top 10 for improvements.
