Alright, I guess I'll let you review my site.

I'm worried about what you'll say but I guess it's better to find out now while still in the process of development than later. I know it's too much blue. I know it's really dark. And I know it loads slow (please don't tell me it loads slow or I might kill you)...

What I would like, is for some honest reviews...and if you're talented, please suggest to me some ways to bring in some new color

Oh, and please read this (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44403) before you critique me

Validation (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbeaaast.bravehost.com%2F) is always a good way to start improving site.

For a club theme the blue and black is ok. I like the top-left "V"-logo and the navigation on the left is not bad. I do think that the Beaaast.com logo is not that good though, almost unreadable. Also the main blue is maybe a little too blue. The biggest thing that sets me off however is the layout. I'm viewing it at 1024x768 and it has a blocky feeling to it when the blue edges end and the black background begins. You might try to smoothen the borders or try and adjust the whole thing better.

I noticed a pop-up on your advertising page. A sure way to put off people wanting to advertise with you. Your ad-link at the very top of the page appears left aligned but the site is center aligned. A fair start though.

You asked for some color help. Here are two color schemers that I like to use:

http://infohound.net/colour/
They have subtle combinations.

Your layout looks really messed up in IE. Might check that out. The stats counter shows, and the ads' backgrounds are white, instead of black, as in Fx. One of the top ads is left-aligned, the following one is aligned center.

I'd get rid of the border around the table containing your content (center, picture of guy in there). They detract from your design.
Also, I'd pull that area up so it fits in there. The red vertical nav. might look better as a horizontal nav across the content area, that way your content area can come higher.

Thank you all. Very good points. You were more helpful than I expected. I'm going to start fixing the problems right now.

By the way, please if anyone else has anything to add go right ahead.
