good luck
I agree.

I believe pop-ups make visitors nervous and they wonder what other nasties they may encounter (spyware/adaware etc,). Pop-ups entering and exiting the games may well cause visitors to leave imo. Adults are more inclined to allow their children to stay at a pop-up free site and also encourage them to return. In my new site design I have instructed a Trust Seal be placed, No Spyware No Adaware.

In your Most Poular, Newest and Top Players boxes it looks messy. Why not remove the '(' and the words 'times' and 'plays' and have for example, 1. Avatar High - 9560

On the front page the text is overlapping the thumbnails.

I'm viewing your site in IE7

I think that’s much better, hopefully you agree.

The following is just about my own personal taste and I'm probably in the minority with my thoughts. I’ve always despised animated banners that move or flash as quick as greased lightning, it’s nearly enough to make you have a fit.

Having explained that It’s probably not surprising I don’t like how fast your thumbnails rotate in your Featured game and Random Games boxes. Combined with the top banner the featured game box to the left and the random game box to the right, to me it’s like being in a gravitron, you get sick of it real fast.

i think them banners matt is on about are banner exchanges, he cant do anything about them unless he got rid of them. i think your site look a lot better, i dont no if its just me but the site seems to stretch.

would be good if you had embed code for your games as you have loads of racing games that i dont have.

The banners are exchanges, and I am not ready to get rid of them.

I do have the code, as shown here: http://i37.tinypic.com/2ag44sw.jpg

I used to have the swf codes, but some b*stards hotlinked me, so I don't do it anymore.

I will send you the swf's for any of the games, if you need any

Yes, I see.

That's ceratinly made up my mind on exchanges, again just personal taste, I'd never do it.
