Overall it looks like it's turning out well.
What you've written is all good.
A few points on some of the pictures

The image

http://googlie2.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/spartans1280.gif

on this page

http://googlie2.tripod.com/thespartanfederation/id4.html

Is kindof dodgy takes a long time to load and looks fuzzy with color problems.

When emboss the edges of the text it seems to make the letters look wonky on the pictures.

With the title picture that you get when you first enter the site

You can get away with not putting a grey box on the picture instead draw a bunch of black horizontal lines with one pixel of gap between them. Then it looks like semi-transparent box.

I draw the lines in paintbrush, then I set the paste to be transparent for white then paste the lines onto the picture. See this picture

which I'm using as the title panel of the ACDG introduction. I've got several black lines making a box at the top of the picture.

Looks like a great site!

Love the spartan logo image in the background. Looks like your gif images are not good, in addition to the one Kody pointed out, the "credits.gif" file in the home page is not too good either. Suggest change them to jpg format.

One problem I had is not sure why whenever I click on one of your links my browser automatically opens the search side panels for me.

Side menu bar for the "our faction" page (id1.html) is different from others, I assume you are testing different effects. I personally like the original ones. The grey out menu items make the page look too busy.

Content wise:

Suggest adding your ranks to the list of team member just for roleplaying purpose. Perhaps you could also include a personal profile for each other.

Love the command center as a name for your chat room. Very fitting.

Looking great!

[Zeiter]

Awesome!

Pics of all the members and maybe short snippets would be cool. We could explain who is in charge of what, and explain the nature of the different positions.

[DeathByTheSword]

Pictures of each Spartans with full gear.

Hey - not a bad idea (crop our heads from a digital pic and paste it to a uniformed pic)

[Skanky Burns]

Anyone good at cut-n-pasting?

[Kassiopeia]

If only I had some toy guns left from my earlier days, when I was in elementary school I had lots of plastic pistols and an assault rifle or two. I wanted to be a policeman, but that doesn't explain the heavy artillery.

If I had any of those left and a camera, we wouldn't need a shoddy copy&paste work on me at least. Not that you'd want to see my picture anyways, trust me and Method and all the eyewitnesses of a certain Rec Commons thread on this one.

[Skanky Burns]

I've seen your pic, Kassi.

I have a pic of me in "military" gear, but it is of the medieval variety. Halberd and chainmail shirt/coif.

[DeathByTheSword]
