Getting people to visit one of my sites has always been a struggle. I'm ready for some serious feedback on FantasyLife, but I'm not sure how to draw the users to the site. I try to avoid blatent spamming of message boards, since that usually serves to piss people off more then make them interested.

I've had some success in the past posting my sites on the DreamHost Site Of The Month contest. I did this for FantasyLife the other night, but only one person has commented. I made the mistake of posting the site on 10/4 at 12:30 AM EST. But DreamHost out west so the timestamp on the post ended up being 9:30PM on 10/3. Why does this make a difference your wondering. Well the ordering of sites on the list appears to be "day" DESC, "time" ASC. This meant that FantasyLife, even though it was the most recent post was already below several other sites. So to anyone who posts there site try to post it early in the AM west coast time and you'll be near the top for that day.

Anyway, the one comment was about the design being bland, which I can agree with. Trying to "spice up" the site is something I've thought about a lot, but I haven't really made much headway with. I'm stumped trying to come up with imagery that fits the site, without looking hokey/cliched and doesn't take away from the functionality.
