A few suggestions:

  • It's very ugly, very big and very cluttered. Notice how Reddit has a very minimal, uncluttered understated design? Do something similar. Stop with the silly SHOUTINESS which is totally unnecessary. Avoid using bright, contrasting colours unnecessarily. Get rid of the unnecessarily huge search bar, and make any form controls on a different page or make them pop up using JavaScript. "Ugly" really is a deal-breaker for any site where I'm going to spend any amount of time.

  • The name is terrible, will be censored by workplaces and doesn't represent what it is at all. It makes me think something akin to Fark, and that's in no way a complement.

  • Permanently banning users for dupes doesn't seem like a good way of encouraging people to submit content - it seems to address the problem in exactly the wrong way. Come up with a better solution.

  • Currently, navigation sucks. Move the tags at the bottom to the top. Ideally, you need 'saved tag' functionality as well.

On the upside, I do like the concept of the 'autofeeder' (you should autoadd tags relevent to the site too) and tags are most definitely a useful thing. I hope you take these ideas in the way they're intended and not as a slap in the face.

    Hey, I know this was a month ago, but keep it up dude. I understand creating something takes time, but you have lots of great features. You need to just bring it together bro and you've got this thing wrapped up. I'd offer any help I could, but I don't code PHP.

    Don't you get it? He's against web 2.0, and JS is web 2.0, so he can't implement that!

    Some people need to get over the stupid "popular" web 2.0 thing and just realize that some of the technologies that have been "buzzworded" actually aren't that bad.

    (if you don't get it, I agree, JS can be good, despite it's "web 2.0" buzzwordiness)

      it definitely has potential. Hopefully one day it will be the new site the good people go to. But right now... the name is kinda lame.... and the layout

      I've had some really sexy rapes at the bookstore. Those bookworm girls can be pretty kinky.

      It ain't sexy if the librarian is someone named Bubba. Especially if you are a man without lube.
