fuck being conventional. the idea is when you click over a link the box lights up red, simple flash, with a little cbeep going off when you put them ouse on it etc. php nuke wannabe's will just turn aa.com into one of the other 1 million fps sites out there.

I agree and disagree with Short Hand on this. gf1.com should not look like other sites out there, but the design you've done, SH, won't do either. It's a usability problem, not an aesthetic one.

Have to strike a balance between form and function.

thats only the index the sub pages are completely diffrent and built for mass cataloging like gf1.com will need, if you wish for a sample of the sub pages i can whi p one up fast. it looks un sustainable, but i promise it can.

another point is look at the design, show 1 relevance to the site being about fps games, excluding the 'groundforce name'

i hate flash, i know quite a bit, but the only good flash site is the 0.099% top of them and i doubt anyone here would make one within the top 50% let alone the 0.099%

It's probably better to go right into the "subpage" look right off the bat, since users probably won't go back to the index if the subpages have those links duplicated on them.

Usability research has shown that users first look to the left and top of the screen for navigation. An unconventional navigation system decreases user satisfaction.

I'm all for artistic license, but when you're dealing with an information-driven site, you gotta put the user first.

why put pictures of games that will go out of date sooner or later ? new games will come out why not have them, its just a satisfaction to the changing times thats all. I figured a diffrent index page would seem great, but only time and decisions made by this community will tell.

There isn't enough links.

When they look for files, you would need to change the whole layout. And if you were trying to read something you would need to change it. Not such a good idea.
