Default Gubug Site Revamped

Hi guys at some point we had very bad server problems and lost a lot of stuff along with loosing our 500GB USB drive with the backups for gubug. We decided to make lemonade out of that bad experience and have rebuilt our Superior Arcade Script's look starting with the gubug site. I am really happy with the new layout and template although we might do a few tweaks here and there but not much now.

http://www.gubug.com
what do you guys think
BTW: I know we lost a lot of traders and I am going to slowly reestablish the trades on this site. I am happy to get trades started for anyone who signs up and we are always looking for quality trade partners. All Superior Arcade Sscript sites are compatible with the ATS plug helper.

Sup the header is like somthing out of a monster movie. Lots of small design flaws.

Much better tha your last.

kinda annoying that ech gme open and new page then a new page again 3 pages within miniyutes.

serch bar is pretty hidden


no game name on thumb nails ( not seo good)

2nd point is why do you have 3 nav bars

when did u drop to pr0 Thanks Anthony

it think you site it more to the case the design needs alot polishing,fix the massive header from hell.

7 ads on the homepage seems a little excesive

remake your thumbnails

chnage ya font on these GuBug's Favs

etc

hope it helps

Hi Alfred,

Nice you changes your site, bud the first problem I have is my browser freeze after I open the site, there is maybe to many flash content on the home page.

I use FF 3.5.8

LOL what a surprise Anthony does not like our site. You never have but really I make sites now to make money and have fun doing it. A lot of stuff you are saying is dated man. Headers can be tall,images have alt tags, There is only 1 nav bar, sites been opening games in a new window for ages and the pops help us send out REAL 100% gamer traffic and there are tons of guys on this board that can attest to the fact that we send out some of the best traffic there is as for as Geo targeting and productivity.

Meltgames has a network of sites with 7 ads on EVERY page. You are not going to make money trading traffic if you have 1 or 2 ads on a page PERIOD. This is why I am one of the oldest sites still trading traffic and making a profit and why you sold your site to Meltgames who imeadiately retemplated it to look like his other sites.

no problem loading it here Stephan. I do think we might change the top flash to only work on the first page load because many ad networks are using flash now a lot more often and there are a good bit of ads on this homepage. I am on a broadband with FF and have never had a problem loading it in the 5 weeks we were tested on our 3 systems. Going out of town this weekend and so I will test it on the road also.

Your site is an insult to modern webdesign, but if you're having fun doing it and making money from it, then that really doesn't matter

OMG you were right I see the modern webdesigners coming up the path to my house now with torches and pitchforks whatever shall I do? The only thing that changed is the layout on the front page for the most part the rest had been there for months now.

Its confusing, moves way to much, and is hard to navigate. Still for those who can tolerate the pulsating madness, I am sure it is quite memorable. I know I wont forget it. My old tired eyes had to leave, maybe the younger generation will appreciate the eccentric madness more than I will.

Looks like you worked hard on it...I hope it works for you... good luck.

Don't get your panties in a bunch, I just tend to appreciate good graphic design, and your website has none. Generally a good, nice looking design can help make a website more successful/usable/accessible, but yours seems to be doing fine without it, so whatever.
