The site's UI is way to boring. Even if its suppose to be simple. Also being a programmer in my own right, I was looking at the source and using tables with spacers? I mean come on, its 2010.. Also another thing I am noticing is, is every bit of your application all in one directory? I am seeing files like indexg.php, gamesg.php. I may be wrong but that might make it really hard to pick up any more developers or investors who are a little tech savvy. Just my 2 cents. Good luck though.

Yes, our own designer complained about that too, but because our app is meant to be used across a wide range of users and computer configurations we opted to go with a more consistent set up, since it's the same from the user perspective. And the scripts make use of includes ;)

When you say a more consistent setup, I hope you are not referring to the fact tables are used, because changing the theme for a certain user is MUCH easier to do in css. Okay since you mentioned includes, your obviously a lower end developer. Have you ever heard of OOP or MVC? But I guess if it works, why question it.

Yes, I agree, and that may be what we use in the future, but to meet our early goals, which is getting something stable out the door that's the plan we used. My primary objective isn't programming/architecture debates (or prizes) it's simply getting satisfied users. It's like you say, we're focused on what works.
