I used drupal as I liked the look and the way it worked, I haven’t added anything great to it in module wise infact I mainly did my own as I could never get the drupal modules to work.

Its great as I have linked it with my new forum and I give all my members that hit over 50 posts a free blog on the drupal account, ok the site is new and we will have to see how things go but for just over two weeks from the full revamp of my site I am well pleased.

Please tell me what you think and I am well open to your thoughts on things that are wrong etc etc (note logo is getting changed)

Is my site that bad?

You are however in violation of the Adsense policy (the heading 'Other Information').

Two other points

1. Site sections looks weird; maybe increasing line-height or using an unordered list may help.

2. The blue box is way to big.

3. Why not make gaming, graphics etc in the header clickable? It would improve navigation.

The adsense rules say that you can only have the text "adverts" or "google ads" associated with the adverts, whereas you have labeled the block "Other Information"

You are not allowed to use 'Other information' on top of adsense blocks. The only titles allowed are 'Advertisements' or 'Sponsored links' (or literal translations).

From Adsense - Program Policies:

Labeling Ads

Publishers may not label the ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements." This includes any text directly above our ads that could be confused with, or attempt to be associated with Google ads.

Nice Site. Might want to turn on clean url's to eliminate those peskie ' ?q= ' thingies.

Looks good MadKad

one other thing,
after you get through cleaning up what you have discovered from this post, work on something else for a few day's. Then come back to you site. You'd be surprised at what a fresh look at your work will do.

It takes forever to load.
It looks decent but it does not stick out of the crowd either.
I am not sure if it is the font, the color scheme or whatever but it looks somewhat cluttered.

Technically it looks good.
