Why it's BAD:
Positives about the site:
There doesn't seem to be any point to
this page! The viewer has to wait an eternity for the page to load,
only to find out that the graphics DON'T WORK! And there doesn't seem to
be much else in the way of content without the pictures, so it doesn't
seem to have any real purpose! Maybe the pictures would work better if
they were displayed in JPG or GIF format instead of BMP, huh? 
This page needs a serious overhaul, any
viewer can tell right off the bat. The graphics are broken, save one or
two, and there is no real content on any of the pages. Fixing the images,
would already be a major improvement, even if it had a bad layout and
lousy content. The first step would be changing the images to GIF or JPG
format. BMP files don't display on web browsers. At the very least, they
don't display on Netscape browsers.
If this page got any worse,
it would probably DIE! Where's the CONTENT? Where's the WORKING IMAGES?
There's nothing to do or see on this page! Even the CHAT ROOM doesn't
work! And that's probably the LAST thing I'd want to DO visiting a Sailor
Moon page! Please, give the server space to someone who can USE it!

Positives about the site:
This page is pointless,
not to mention disgusting! I've seen other joke and parody pages of
Sailor Moon on the web, and this is probably the least entertaining one
I've seen. Why not do something funny and original, like Sailor Moon
Says:your Daily Alternative, or something? I think I speak for all
three of us when I say that this page is a waste of time and server
space.
This page is so insulting
to my intelligence that I don't even want to review it. All I can say
is that this individual has too much time on his or her hands.
Sailor Moon ATE my BALLS?!
What kind of garbage is this?! For a joke page, this is VERY UN-FUNNY.
I have to wonder about this person's sense of humor, because this is
just TASTELESS humor at its worst.

Positives about the site:
Our first page recommended
by a visitor! Unfortunately, it was on bad terms. :( This last minute
entry was sent along with another URL, saying that this person stole an
image. I looked at the other page, and it was true, the original image
was there, along with a disclaimer stating that the menu images were created
by the other webmaster, and that they shouldn't be taken! While it's not
quite as blatant as stealing text, stealing images is pretty scummy too,
especially since this person is still using that dopey Geocities Basic
Homepage Builder.
I thought this page was
very loosely centered around Sailor Moon. There wasn't any information
about the senshi, not even the same basic stats that are on every other
page. This page is also very plain, and the layouts on all the pages
are pretty much exactly the same! While I realize that they're just
starting out, I would suggest this person learn some HTML and image
editing, or at least ask someone to help them instead of stealing other
people's images in a weak attempt to spiff up the page. I'm reluctant
to be harsh because it's a newbie page, but some things just don't fly
in any situation.
I'm not sure I see the
point of this page. It's very small-scale. A web-ring with two members, a
club with only one, and contest without a prize, you know. There's a
few pages, a few links, but nothing big. While they did do their best
to create an original page, there just isn't enough there! I can't really
fault them for that though, because the whole Basic Homepage builder
thing shows they haven't been around too long. But swiping an image
reflects really bad on them.
This page was made my Mako-chan!
