    I've been working on the design and content for a while in my spare time and I haven't been getting many visitors, but I would like to hear what you guys think :)

    I really like "You Da Sperm Game" and the fact that I can play it online without downloading anything. I like the look of the site. I especially like the way you controlled the font colors and background of the Google ads (which so often can detract from site design and professionalism). I'm not so sure about the black background color. Does black convey levity?

    On the sperm game page, the next game and previous game links don't work. Those links take me to a bare bones, all text page with a few games linked.

    I didn't figure out the navigation for a while. I thought there were only three top level links because there were only three post-it notes. I would change each of the six top level links to roll-over images so they will change color as people point at them. This would have fixed my misunderstanding instantly.

    You might consider adding a jokes page or expanding the stories page to stories and jokes. For the people who want a quick joke but don't have time for a story.

    Thanks for the input, I completely forgot to deal with the "next game" links and I thank you very much for reminding me. I'll also look into a quick and easy way of doing the rollover image on the stickies. Again, thanks for the comments they're very helpful.

    great design... color combination is good, but maybe change the dark brown background to match the other brown...

    I think the design is too formal for the content of the site.

    Try adding some Flash on the short stories.
    It additional work on your part but reading would be more fun.

    And add more games... Loved the content!

    Different idea of presentation and layout. I think the menu can be sized into little bit small. The each section like games has few content, try to increase that.

    I like the site, but im not a fan of your giant menu buttons, other then that if you can keep adding content it will take off

    The whole thing looks very good, professional!

    Except for the large postit notes, they look poor.

    Thanks for the comments everyone, they truly help. Since nobody likes my post-it notes can anyone think of a good way to replace/fix them? Thanks again.

    EDIT: I updated to something new. like? yes, no?
