welcome

Welcome to Rubber Duck. Rubber Duck is a petpage and guild reviewing website started on January 19th, 2009, or Martin Luther King Day in the U.S. I am your host, French. This layout looks perfectly fine in Internet Explorer, but if you want the cool image hover effect, use Firefox. xD

These are the sites that have reviewed a reviewing site! Interesting, eh? When sites have brackets {like this} around them, that means that my site needs to be re-reviewed because they reviewed it before I got a nice layout and I made a button, affiliates thing, etc. When there is a "**" at the end of a link, it means I got a good score. Nothing around the links means I got an average score or below.

qualifications

Just because you have a guild or website, this does not mean you automatically get a review. Your site or guild must follow these standards. Don't yell at me or give me a revenge rating on something I didn't even ask you to rate if I tell you I can't because you didn't follow the rules.
Guild
5+ members
custom layout
a webbie
at least 1 week old

Petpage/Website
must be on Neo
custom layout
/lots of/ content
88x31 link back button

grading scale

Please note that most of the reviews listed below need to be redone because before I did not use this type of scale. (:
Layout: 10 points.
Layouts are the first impression on your site. Try and make it neat and tidy, and awesome graphics are definitely a plus. If you don't have a good layout, then chances are no one will stay to read your content! The layout grade includes neatness, navigation, etc. In guild content I want to see lots of fun activities in a NR, scribble, or some guild along those lines. In role play I expect many literate persons and approximately 8+ characters to role play.

Content: 10 points.
The content is one of the primary parts of your website. In content I want to see /lots of/ nice graphics if it's a graphic site, lots of links in a directory site, funny screenies on a screenie site, etc.

Spelling and grammar: 10 points.
Another important part of your website or guild is spelling and grammar. If there is no capitalization, grammatical errors, or anything like that, you will lose points. Download a spell-checker or run the content through MS Word to change these. HOWEVER, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT change the codes even if it says there's a spelling error. IGNORE IT.

guild reviews


Clairity
Genre; Themeless
Review; The layout is boxy and rather ugly. Try getting a skilled graphics maker and coder to make you one. The layout will be a lot more appealing and could help you get members. There are lots of activities which appear to be very fun, and as far as I know, none are against the rules. There is a portal which leads to the many links that have to do with the guild, which is a plus. I really like this guild, but the layout is ugly, so, as I stated, get a better layout.
Overall Rating; 7/10.


LightningClan.

Genre; Warriors Role Play
Review; The layout is terrible. The content is hard to read, and the images looks rather odd. Try having a skilled coder/graphic maker create a layout for you, or do it over so that you can actually read the top half. The content is so-so, there's plenty there, but the plot doesn't make sense. Softpad would not be let in to the Clan, because she interacted with Twolegs. She'd be disobeying the Warrior code, and would have been k!lled by the Clan. Although the guild layout is pretty awful, the webbie is layout wonderful. The problem is, on the front page the picture with "lightning clan dot net" on it cuts of the "t" in "net". It also says "lighning clan" instead of "lightning clan". As for the webbie content, it is very bad. Try to go into detail about the territory, cats, and pretty much everything else that has to do with the role play. The only part I looked at that is pretty good is the rules. I'm glad you elaborated. The guild looks somewhat active, as far as I can tell, but you should motivate your members to come and role play more if they don't respond very quickly.
Overall rating; 3/10.


0Oo~Bubbly~oO0

Genre; Neopets-Related
Review; I love the layout, excluding the background. Change it from blue-violet to black, in my opinion it will look a lot prettier, and it will make the main part of the layout appear slightly brighter and more cheerful. I love how the webbie has a FAQ rather than rules, but it needs more content. All it has is the FAQ, how to advertise the guild, and some links. Fill those empty content spaces! There are lots of fun activities on the activity page, but I suggest you add some content in the side sections and add some links in the link section!
Overall rating; 5/10.


Forbidden

Genre; Harry Potter
Review; The layout is stunning, indeed, but I can barely read the words in the little box that says "Slytherin is in the lead!" Try making that a little darker. :3 I'm amazed at how many members you have already, considering you're only four days old (at the time of this critique at least) and you have 61 members! The webbie has tons of information, and in my opinion, the guild is -nearly- perfect! Just change that font color in the little box and it will be absolutely fine! Harry Potter fans, join this guild NAO! NAO I TELL YOU, NAO! Yes, I purposely misspelled "now".
Overall rating; 9.9/10. =D


Kawaii

Genre; Anime
Review; I hate the layout, to be quite frank. The words are hard to read, the background looks awful with the main part of the layout, and the picture is pretty boxy. I suggest you get a skilled coder/graphics maker to make you a layout with the same picture, because I like the picture. It's very pretty. I can't even read the webbie, because the textbox isn't where the words are. Unfortunately your guild gets a low rating because I can barely read anything. The guild looks pretty active, however.
Overall rating; 2/10.

--screenie unavailable; layout changed to a better one, they'll have to get a re-review soon ;D--
Renesmee Carlie Cullen ♥

Genre; Twilight
Review; The layout is very ugly. The image makes the guild box stretch, and it looks even worse with the "welcome" picture. Even a premade is better. To change this, get a skilled graphics maker/coder to make a layout for you. I am sure there are many people who'd love to make you a Twilight layout. =) The content is neat and organized, though, and it looks like your guild is a very active community. I can't say anything about the webbie, considering it's still under construction, but it has a very nice layout. x3
Overall rating; 5/10.


Flourish & Blotts

Genre; Harry Potter
Review; The layout is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Simple, yet stunning. There is not too much content on the front page, but not too little. It is a very unique guild, also. ;) The webbie is equally amazing; it is chock full of activities and information, too! I have nothing to say about this guild that is bad, so, Harry Potter fans, join this guild NAO. NAO I TELL YOU, NAO! Or, if you don't want to join this one, join Forbidden! And yes, I spelled "now" wrong on purpose - again. ;D
Overall rating; 10/10. WOW! Perfect score!
