Re: review my site
Rules of thumb for making a website (some of which you may or may not be in violation of)
1. When adding sounds and music to your webpage, you have to realize that in order for the page to be popular, people are going to hear the same sound/song 100s or even 1000s of times. At no point in time should the user feel annoyed. If the user begins to feel annoyed, then the webpage is better off without the sounds at all.
Directly related to you, I think that your sounds do get fairly annoying.
2. Frames are generally bad. Good website builders try to avoid them.
You pulled off the frames fairly well, with the exception of the fact that some of the stuff is cut off.
3. Marquee is bad. I'm not quite sure why, but I've heard that marquee is bad.
4. Being flashy is like a spice. If your website is too flashy, it will not look good. If a chicken noodle soup is too spicy, it will taste terrible.
There are areas of your site that are too flashy. There are also areas of your site that are not flashy enough.
More specific advice:
If you have a coming soon, unlink it, so if users click on it they are not given a 404 error.
Your pages are inconsistent in your "fanciness." Some pages are white backgrounds and plain text, and others (homepage) have very colorful text and flashy backgrounds.
And finally, some of your pages are too long. If your page starts getting to where the user need to scroll a lot, you should probably cut in into two or more separate pages.
An example would be your homepage. Your polls should probably moved to the poll page, and your games should probably each have their own page, and a description of the game. Videos should also have their own page.
Your page is good, it just needs a little refining.
