    Hello Everyone!

    I founded CrazyEngineers about two years back and I think we've done a good job over the time. We could pull lot of 'big guys' from the industry on CrazyEngineers. Recently (on 1st Jan) CrazyEngineers was relaunched with a new design & layout.

    I request you to review the website and provide your feedback.

    Design looks ok. but the content is great. Mainly the small talk with Leonardo Chiariglione and Yashwant Kanetkar add great values. I just signed up into your forum. I am not an engineering student, but a MCA student. I went through your computer science engineering forum. There were some creative idea and new questions asked.

    But at the same time there were some simple well known questions asked. Why can't make sure only top quality questions and ideas goes through the forum. Or start a new forum topic for new-bie questions which can be ignored by high graded people and researchers. This will save lot of time for researchers using your forum.


    Sample :
    thread title : Difference between compiler and interpreter

    It would be much better if these sort of discussions occur in a separate module. If my thoughts are wrong please correct. this is my personal opnion. At the same time there are some great innovative ideas like 4d complex integrals. That's a crazy idea far away from reality, that guy needs special attention. Your forum will be a great boon for researchers and student it grows.

    You are doing a great work in "Small talk". I read and leanrt a lot from those useful interviews. keep it coming, Thanks.

    Even though I am not qualified enough to suggest anything of your calibre, I would suggest one thing. Please include Entrepreneurs and Management as part of your site, because the experience shared in small talk will be useful to entrepreneurs.

    All the best!

    Rajanforums,

    Thanks a ton for taking out time to review CrazyEngineers. I'm glad that you liked the content. Engineering or MCA - doesn't matter, we believe that engineering is all about attitude.

    Regarding the questions asked in forums:- That's too difficult to control; however, I liked the idea of having separate sections for innovative ideas and the regular questions. Unfortunately, many engineering students are still stuck with the basics. The #1 query that we get on CE Forums is "Please suggest a seminar topic or Project idea" - we had to start a separate section to deal with those queries.

    Entrepreneurship & Management forum will be added soon. As Guy Kawasaki said in his interview with CrazyEngineers - "Engineers are at the core of entrepreneurship. Engineering is hard, marketing is easy". :)

    I thank you for your review and being a part of CrazyEngineers.

    Best,

    The Big K

    It's a nice format but some of the pictures get in the wazy of the words.

    Here are my suggestions:

    1) Padding needs to be added to the images.
    2) The header is okay. The menu gradient could be a bit brighter.
    3) There is nothing breaking up the content visually except white space that goes into all. Boxes need to be set up to separate the sidebars, and the split content.
    4) Header text needs its own color.
