<div class="IPBDescription">website</div> Well I thought as many NS website are down or not updating I ll make a NS fan site. It is called <a href='http://www.commchair.com' target='_blank'>www.commchair.com</a>. About 95% done (need forum and few more downloads anyone code!?) with guides, files etc........ so I m hpoing for vistors so that I will continue updating for the NS community.

I won't comment on the design, only the content, and a few things you need ask yourself. Is there any point to this? Sorry, but i learnt nothing on that website i didn't know already. Also, don't post rumours of release dates without hard evidence, it'll only irritate people Since in 2-4 weeks people will start flaming saying "WTH!!!! WHEr IS TEH MOD!!!!11". It's not constructive in the least. Also, i'm opposed to the fact you're going to introduce a forum. The NS community doesn't need dividing, and the official forum (yes, this one) caters for all the needs of everyone. There you must ask yourself "If so and so site does this, and does this better, is there a point to doing my own version?"
To be blunt, the whole page comes off as rather pointless. I feel you need to head back to the drawing board for this one.

If you wanna make it cool, make it a in a commchair style, you know, buttons for links, just like commander hud.
I think you should go straight for the newb audience. Seasoned players either are out there formulating their own plans or ideas, or just plain don't want to know. But a proper website just for NS newbs to help them get into the game (such as printable map's with common locations on them for the official maps) would be great. To be perfectly honest about NS, the manual is no help whatsoever, and the forums, from the perspective of someone who's new to the game and community, are a tad unfriendly and daunting at first so new players would be thankfull for a mecca for newb strategy and information <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Please, don't get me started on the "design". Heh.
But you've got to look at it one way, if the contents there, who cares what it looks like really. Some of the sites i frequent are ugly (That means you /. and gamefaqs.com) but they're full of stuff so it doesn't matter.
I should shut up now, i'm a designer, i'm talking myself out of my job, heh.
