this is constructive criticism (please dont mind) about site design:

i think, u first need to fix up the look of the site. it doesnt seem very attractive. - black and red is a tough combination of colours. to make a site look nice, it needs to be simple, use shades of colour (not just jpt any colour u want) and logos need to be simple as well. right now, (from a graphic designer prespective). since u are using black/red, stick with it. dont throw in other colours.

- i see the banner: is over done - the glows are unnecessary or unmatching. 

- dont put the site name in the background, looks unprofessional

- the gradient (enter now) and the hits counter(not going with the theme of site) are also unprofessional.

- text background: text is nice and readable when in plain background. (the red/black gradient is bad)

so basically- use colours of shades, or matching colours, dont use gradients (unprofessional), 

- menu buttons (home | forum...) dont go with theme (the gloss look and the colour).

i like the idea, just needs some polishing
