As some might argue it's an irrelevant site. But don't let it get to you so much. If you enjoy working on it, no comment can take that from you. Once you stop looking for applause you'll feel a whole lot better. And some people might even take an interest. So far you've just been trying a bit too hard.

Also stop creating entire web sites that would easily fit into a long forum post with poor grammar.

Experience tells me there's not much that doesn't fit into a long forum post with poor grammar.

If by bad grammar you mean the overall layout of the site itself, you have to remember its pretty amateur work due to the fact its built with free webs. I have little to work with in terms of arranging text coinciding with pics. Besides, I just see it as a way of posting up my work, not a gargantuan project. Finally, logically speaking there are many reasons why it would be insufficient to put such large amounts of info into one forum post.

No, he means bad grammar.
Like the question marks in the navigation, the abundance of ellipses ("..."), wrong syntax ("All you will find here,
is the writings") and plain old typing errors ("I decided to
constuct a site").

Ok, went through the entire site and did my best in fixing some things up. Also of course, fictional words/phrases used in the games will be considered as incorrect spelling-wise.

Being a fansite on a free hosting service is no excuse for sloppy grammar. Are you a native English speaker? I'm asking because aside from the numerous typos, the site reads a lot like a translation. I'd recommend you thoroughly proofread the site or better, have it proofread for you.
Chronology-wise, System Shock 2 should be first because it was the first to be released. Unless you want the site to appear more BioShock focused, which obviously is your prerogative.
I'm siding with JediK here, all in all it's an interesting site-building exercise for you but apart from advice on how to make it better, the content is stuff we would already know, and it doesn't really bring anything new.
If you are interested in a non-commercial, totally free sandbox to build a fansite and play with HTML/CSS, I could always give you some space on LG Classics. No strings attached.

Ok, maybe I should have it proofread, to be sure just what kind of errors I have been making. Honestly, putting Bioshock first chronology-wise was not my prerogative.
I just thought since it was more modern, it would make more sense to put it first and cause less confusion amongst Bioshock players. I keep trying to tell everyone and was perhaps a mistake to post such a topic on a System Shock 2 forum.
But many players of Bioshock are genuinely curious of how similar the games are. Statistically speaking on my site , that’s no joke. Also as I have mentioned, even though I could use HTML the project is not something to be making a hash of. You already know that.
Its a similarity site, not a gargantuan project that’s worthy of dazzling up with Flash and overlaying templates. It was simply a way to aid many curiosities and a way of posting up years of personal finds that where just laying around. So, im sorry if it doesn’t appeal to System Shock 2 players, but it definitely has Bioshock wise so far. That’s a promise.

I'm not sure you understood my meaning. Who said anything about Flash or overlays? :weird: Anyway, if a cheapo compilation page is all you wanted, more power to ya.

Thank you for the offer anyway, much appreciated.
