My Site

Hey guys. I've finally got around to sorting my site out and here it is so far. I'm not particularly interested in comments on the overall design etc (although they would still be appreciated) I just want to know where you stand on the text for the news posts. I think its fine and looks quite good but I'd imagine some people would find it hard to read and dislike it. Do any of you think this? Any ideas as to what I can do with it to make it easier to read?

Actually it is your fault :P

Sounds like a few of us had too many drinks tonight, or just enough as far as were concerned a few to many as far as others are concerned :P

So I can't help but add to my earlier post, my one joy, my one getaway from life has now itself suffered damage, view the pain people, I went to go to bed and RELAX and play before falling asleep, but nooooo, that fucked up thing called karma had to through me another hard ball, view this fucking BS.

Shit my camera is in the basement, way to lazy to get it right now, but ya, My nintendo DS screen is cracked and has colors all over the top screen that shoulnd't be there, I can squeeze it a bit and get about 70% of the lines to diasapear for a few minutes, but that's about it, seriously, what the fuck did I do? murder jewish babies? I think not, why is life getting SOOOOOO gay all of a sudden, and all not of a sudden and just forever. Bah, I'm out, I can't take this right now, sleep is my friend.

Kirk I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO knew you were fucked up, brothas think alike.

The text looks fine to me. Although I can't find that calendar you're talking about.

Thats 'cause the posts are from before I designed the new design. Although the calender is all coded now I just need to stick it on there but moving slowly. Thanks for the feedback.

Well, the design isn't much to rave about, but its crisp and clean and I appreciate that. The news system looks fine, and it seems like the overal navigation of the site is straight on. At least it's a lot better than your old one :P

Could use a bit more of a background. All the white seems pretty plain. But other than that 10/10

RE hows ma site
I like it, only flaw is the tremendous amount of white space, needs something, some sort of light background perhaps.

I thought Irish would be more of an oi, not like a british Euro Trip oi, but a close. Perhaps I just type my aye, oy oi, eh noises weird, I'll stick with that one.

Overall, I like it. One thing, I'd add a footer... Just to sort of "complete" the layout. It looks half-loaded without one, if you get what I'm saying. Other than that, me likes :D

People who use mochiads have like eCPMs of about $0.45-0.75. What gives? >:(

My guess is that, while AdventureQuest-ads sure are better suited for Flash games than "Write your name in glitter"-ads, the NG ad system needs more advertisers. I don't think I've ever seen anything else than AQ in their ads, and I think that most people knows what that is by now.

So, they simply don't click the ads.

Makes sense to me, something to note when I look for ads, and something for the NG staff to note as well.

Isn't the ng ad system set up through cpmstar? I'm not sure how it works but it seems like the ads that are shown is up to cpmstar, not newgrounds.

Perhaps, someone should do something about it though..

Yeah the ads are through CPMStar, NG just has a special deal with them.

By someone I do in particular mean admins of NG or cpmstar, and they can do very much.

I too did bet on them, as the winners of it all, but since that odds was so high I only bet a few dollars and I don't really care about the loss of those money (I do care a bit more about the money that I could've won, but meh :P )

How do you know this? or...how do you figure it out I mean.

Write an email or a PM to Tom about the low payback on CPM ads and see what he says. Maybe you can encourage him to tell CPM star to raise the rates so that everyone doesn't switch over to mochi.
