Due to I'm not part of SIT and I want more opinions. I'm trying to help optimize NSFCD member intake! We are working on making the main page more user friendly and attractive! One of the things, we are working on is optimizing SEO(Search Engine Optimization). This helps NSFCD get members via popular search engines.
Some of the things I need for the meta process.
Short and attractive description for NSFCD.
-Something that would make people see nsfcd on google and want to click it!
-Not to long as google wont show it all
Key words
-Words that people would google or search up
If you are graphically smart give me a pm with some info.
I may contact you, if you're avaiable.

The banner!
The banner is 960 x 200!
I've got some logos, but I'm not sure if they are that good.

Red Text is a no. As is depth, apparently.

Not sure. Not red. And pick a "rounder" font.
Better or worse!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/Sw0rDz/nsfcdbanner4.jpg)
That looks much better. Orange is a complement to blue, while the rounder font goes better with the fact circles are present in the bg.
Does this suck?

No, that is pretty awesome.

SK or I will implement some of them.
Cus I want it to get done! No one will let me do the job, so I'll have someone else to do it!

I want to see this site get better! Hard to believe it, I created/managed the original FCD. I would have done it all by now, if I could.
As a renown member of this borderline incredible site, I have to say: that banner makes me want to come here even less frequently.

I tried doing that, but for some reason, Adblocking the frame just leaves me with an ugly blue rectangle at the top where the banners are supposed to be.

Let's see...Wii would probably be the most googled one, followed by Nintendo.
Also stick Silverhawk79 in there somewhere. D:

I'm talking about the logo thing on the op.

The wii should be moved. Who ever makes/uses the meta tags can fix that.
For the banner, if you block it with adblock, you will see the alternative the template uses. The bg color. You either can look at the bg color or the banner. If i could, I would add an bannerless and/or a low bandwidth skin/template.
"NSFCD is a small gaming community containing mostly members from the old Nintendo Forums. Come on in to talk about almost anything, chat in our IRC chat, play on our TF2 server, play your favorite NES games, and more!"
...eh, I guess that's ok.
Also, we have Friend Code Database in our name, but we don't have much about friend codes. We need some sort of friend code sharing system.
I'll attempt a banner.
