Nice concept.

I am having a rather difficult time with your colour scheme though.

I'd think that with the subject matter you are dealing with, you'd want to go with something chearier, and lighter.

The layout and colors have a rather heavy feel to them.

I'm also not sure about the 'you didn't deserve that' link. Do you really want somebody else saying what another person should feel makes their life beautiful??

My simple advice from a colours perspective would be to play with the background and big bold black menu at the top. Soften those things up. You'd be surprised how well a grey on grey can work. Or grey on white.

You've got a lot of black, which to me, doesn't suit your subject matter.

I'd take down the ads. Not much point without the traffic.

Ok, this is really weird.

I have a friend who works for a company that made a site almost exactly like this. The only difference is that they use a different three word slogan.

Is that pure coincidence or are you guys somehow affiliated? Is someone selling these and rebranding them?

EDIT: Another coincidence (or not): all the posts from both sites have the exact same first "comments" on them. gahh
