The site looks very professional but i find the amount of text a bit boring. I think this would be helped by inserting pictures. They would break up the text and make the site look even better.

I like the dark colour scheme. It's easy to read and is striking.

I would say change the yellow though. Yellow text and black backgrounds are really difficult to focus on.

Overall layout seems pretty good. I think you should replace all the pastel colours with brighter colours that are easier to read with a dark background.

Still too hard to read.... The Logo doesnt appear in my browser all i could see even when refreshing are the words "loudaz logo". When I look at the left side links, i get the feeling that theres suppose to be an image there instead of the text links. Paddings on the Introduction could be bigger, also the text should be bigger, the dark grey on the intro links should be lighter, The News bits at the bottom seem to look too crowded, maybe you should put some dividers there or something. The search box looks more like a button than a text field... Work on it a little more...

Black is a very hard color scheme to work with. If you use it correctly it's limited to black, and various shades of gray to white. Most of the time black is considered to be boring. I used black, and silver gray on my photo site to mimic the body colors of a high quality pro camera. Which always has a black body with silver trim.

I think black is probably best used with a certain theme in mind, rather than in a general use way. The orange is not quite a match. This is why I think black is so hard to use, most people want more colorful schemes, and black lends it's self mostly to black.

Further updates

I'm not a fan of dark sites in general so will decline to comment on a black template! Much more readable though...

The banner looks very out of place as that grey. Also the sidebars look a bit disjointed, content in the sidebars could be padded a little more?

the grey template is much better than the red template, I can tell that just by looking at the thumbnails

Well I am trying
