My first website - it's a forum for teens. Please tell me what you think!

 

I just registered www.theteenforum.com and pointed it to that site.

 

Nah... where is the "back" button??

Forcing people to register just to see what your site is about never works. Let them browse around and decide by themselves if they want to register or not

 

I agree with fryman it would be better to make your forum index as your main index. I really like your design something different. Nice job good luck

 

As above, but also - I noticed you could skip the intro by clicking it, but that's not really apparent. If you must use the Flash intro, at the very least add a 'skip intro' link...

 

very nice design.. I will suggest you to put the forum index as the first page instead of the login page. I only found the forum index after minutes

 

i'll give the design a thumbs up.

but like what they all said, i think you shouldn't force first time visitors to register first before seeing the forum.

good luck!

 

It's not flash! It's DHTML!

Intro link has changed - delete your temp internet files and it whould work.

 

I think you need to rethink your target when it comes to advertisements..Are betting banners really appropriate if you are going after the teen market?

Also - Empty categories are a big turn off as it will be very difficult to get new posters. Either fill them or get rid of them

 

Good point - and I'm going to remove that ad. I had it there before I decided a topic, due to its 65 dollar user referral payments.

 

Sites that plays music to me the second it loads is clicked close, but that's just me Gimme the option for sound, at the very least.

 

The sound clip in the intro is only nine seconds long.

 

Just the same - people don't like being surprised by music, especially when they are sitting at work (school?)...

 

Good point, I'll give it some consideration - maybe a warning on the preload page? I can't make the intro sound optional, it's supposed to be in time with the circling messages. Giving the user the option to click it would completely throw it off, and by the time they hit the "stop" button (assuming it were on autoplay), they would have given themselves away anyway.

 

Drop the sound is all I will say.

 

im sure you guys have seen this ... but maybe it can make some of you laugh. i loved it http://www.realultimatepower.net/
