Looks very cool, maybe you should take a quick look at CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for customized scrollbars :cheers:SilentKilla said:

Love the style, but yeah, the text is a bit hard to read, black on black kinda thing. In lieu of introducing a new color, you could just move the bars a bit.
Also the "pixelized" links at the top look kind of out of place.
Your news seems to have a default font for the date and fixed for the rest. Giving it a set style might not be a bad idea. Maybe make the news bold or larger text to give it clear definement so you can tell where one ends and another begins.
Definitely looking nice though. I'd hire you. :-P

in web design, you should never show incomplete sites as examples for applications and such. incomplete meaning "coming soon" pages and links that don't work or go nowhere.
it looking like a good layout and such thou, but the meni bar at the top could use a better font. it works alright on some letters, but other letters are harder to read and i feel that there are many better fonts kinda like that which will do a much better job for you.
The banner could also use work, again with the text.
the background image behind the content bit contrasts badly with the text, and in most cases, hides text which is over the top of it. For the background, if your having text going over it, you either want it a light or dark colour, not both, then the text colour is the opposite of the background. sounds liek a simple concept, but it's not happening on your site, and that liitle image could be placed elsewhere to have it looking just as effective.
finally, just my own little preference here, nothing really bad about it, you could have the website stretch further down the page instead of having it like confinded to a small section. From the site, i guess your monitor is a 800x600 res, maybe smaller, an thats fine for a bit of design layout for a webiste that runs down the centre of the screen, but it kinda just stops. You could either make it run down further, using css would be a good thing here, or you could make another section, having like the top section dedicated to news say, or the "about" stuff and have other content in a section below it. You could also put themenu bar between the two sections, making the black space at the top of the page smaller, maybe improving a little on the layout.
Having said all that thou, it's only crits and comments to perhaps give you ideas to help you improve it, you don't have to do what i said, i won't care either way but that what you've shown... imo... is a good example for anyone looking fr someone to make a website for their mod... perhaps not a site with scripted stuff and such, but a basic informative website. people, snap this guy up

I change the design on that site about 3 times a month, just to get a new look going. You caught me in the middle of it hehe, I was just offering what I can do. I've only worked on that layout for about 1 hour. Thanks for the ideas =)

Slightly annoying that dyingfortruth.com tries to download something that I can't view properly.
...or you could add the "www" to the link you posted for convenience's sake. I don't mean to belittle your skills here, which you certainly have to some degree, but if I was a webmaster I'd doublecheck my links religiously before going to press.
