Pim, you shouldn't criticize fonts, otherwise our expert Bullwinkle will explain to you how unimportant it is :-)
The site is not useful at all anyway (from my point of view).

Mr. Scully
Queenrocks - I've always wondered what the international fc web site offers? Does it have something the other sites don't?
Pim Derks
Well, the fanclubpage DOES have a merchandise-page which has been saying 'coming soon' for months now... Don't think much other sites have that ;-)

Mr. Scully
I think Darren closed his site, it's indeed a pity, it was an interesting site.

Well Mr. Scully not a lot really the good thing about that site is that you can download wallpapers for your computer
Pim Derks
Wallpapers don't make a good site. It's the OFFICIAL fanclub for god's sake - I'd expect a bit more then some wallpapers and other stuff I can find everywhere.

Well, Mr. Scully, I am glad I am not a web design expert, if it means that I don't whine about fonts or complain that the web design is not perfect, all the while ignoring the web page's content.
Perhaps I should unquestionly accept the wisdom of the web design experts, as I am only one of the little people, and therefore my opinion as only a humble web page user must be worthless.
I am surprised that Mr. Scully finds the need to disparage other websites when his website is so respected.

A bad font sticks out and makes the site look amateurish
A good font goes unnoticed

"if it means that I don't whine about fonts or complain that the web design is not perfect, all the while ignoring the web page's content."
You know it's not meant this way - there are very nice sites with zero content and maybe a couple sites with excellent content but zero graphics. I think Andy's site was an example of the latter case. But usually if somebody makes a site with a really useful content, it takes him years and he improves his designing skills. Like it happened with Sebastian's site - used to be quite bad but nowadays it's a site with perfect content and a very intelligent structure.
"I am surprised that Mr. Scully finds the need to disparage other websites when his website is so respected."
Sorry but I mentioned plenty of sites that are excellent in my opinion. And I do think that I can recognize both crappy design and zero content (which is sadly case of 95% of Queen sites). Among 1000+ Queen sites there are probably 15 good ones.
I was a bit angry because of your words that my site is good because of the content, not because of the design - I will be honestly really glad to accept any criticism IF it's constructive. In exchange I can tell you what I mind about other particular sites.
"A bad font sticks out and makes the site look amateurish. A good font goes unnoticed".
Yes, this is pretty much true...

www.queenwords.com.
A site run by "just plain folks". Very informative and nicely laid out. Plus, a good place to find MIDIs of songs I can't get anywhere else.
And here, of course.
And there was one...a DK3 board...a while back, but I don't know what happened to it.

I was thinking of bringing up Andy's site, but you beat me to it.
I feel bootlegsheaven is a good site (content-wise), and I remember Queenheaven being good (content-wise), and I did not understand how these sites could be panned (my perception) based solely on font and/or web design.
Sorry, I was not criticizing your web design, but rather I was trying to point out that, in my humble opinion, the content is, by far, most important (but it needs to be readable and organized). I have only a minor issue (mostly based on my laziness) concerning possible hyperlinks between your concertography with your Live CD collection. It would slightly helpful if your concertography identified the Live CD's in your collection and provided a hyperlink to that concert. In any case, this minor issue only involves an extra mouse click or two, so obviously, it really is not all that important.
I still cannot see why fonts are important, but then again, I am not exactly a slave to fashion.
