I know its been some time since I have been here, I was busy with lots of stuff, I hope everyone is doing fine.

I finally managed to put together a project I was thinking of for some time now, a Free Online Games site Visit through proxy.

I wanted something that did not look like it was a turnkey solution so please review the feel, the template and the Logo from the users point of view and not as developers

I would not mind if you did not talk about stuff like the tables and the coding behind it. 
I used AV Arcade which is free but it turned out the code was the worse "spaggetti code" I have ever seen (still appreciative of the guy's effort) but in the end it took almost a day to clean the code enough to let me code a decent (looking) template for it.

The site took a little more than a day to complete so its something that needs improvements and therefore all your comments are appreciated.

Also if anyone with a game related site wants to do a link exchange I am all for it,  (Olaf ?)

Hi looks good your arcade site (be carefull about some arcade scripts are a big risk for your server, Nick knows everything about it).

If you promise to promote your site I will suggest a 3 way link trade PM me for details

What kind of trouble ? security or performance ?

I already started promoting my site and I will continue for as long as I can, I am trying to get some game site exchanges going on, and put it in some of my signature and submit it in some directories.  If you have any more tips I would appreciate them.

Of course if you think later on that my link is not worth having, you can always take it down ;) - I am sending PM now

Last month our server got hacked from a turk team due to a vulnerability of an arcade script....

Now back to the review :)

Your site looks ok, but I think it is not complete. The grey color is everywhere and maybe you need to add another color to make the site look more fun and make this a little lighter.

The logo is too simple. I think you can use some kind of header there with backgrounds from games or something similar. And one advice, put some social bookmark buttons bellow each game, and especially a button from stumbleupon. It can really help with traffic ;)

Nikolas thanks, I will try to change towards the direction that you are suggesting, your advice actually makes sense.

What script was it ? that got hacked ?

The script is the flashgamescript.com. Stay away from it :)

My .2 coming up, the basic layout is good as it can easily be designed for. I agree with nik, the header looks stamped-in... and you might encounter some copyright issues using the popular game characters... The background looks ok, but the container areas gray looks washed out on that BG... I think you need a second  colour on the content area, or at the very least cool heading effects...

Thats my users point of view...
