    My pageviews are steadily dropping... 100's... to double digit numbers per day

    what is going on? Is it because of my bad color scheme, bad template... does anyone know?

    I don't think its the design.. have you been marketing your site regularly? Do you know where your main source of traffic comes from? You might want to examine those..

    My main source of traffic is either from here, and basically 1 other website...

    nobody is coming to me from the search engines...

    I really can't figure out where to market...

    Your site is somewhat business like one, it may be a good idea to place something like news list about flash games on the start page, and to place your menu items in the random order in the first screen of the browser, and to paint everything in the bright cartoon colors, and never to place slow loading demos on the start page.

    You should remove Featured Media and you should add thumbnails of the games to the game page.

    You may try to start a game, and to make the screen shot using gimp or any other picture editor, and to scale the screen shot in this picture editor to any size.

    You can advertise here: yoursite[dot]nu

    Sorry, this place will not let me use html links yet.

    I would change the color scheme to something brighter. It's too dark in my opinion.
