Redirect on the first page itself ? (bad) 
Website is slow to load.
Has a spammy look to it.
Registration form is confusing.
keep things easy & simple dude, they always work better.

pretty burtal, out of beta now tons of code re worked. Please give it another look. I was one of the first members here not trying any BS. Things have gotten really tight here from the old days. Working on gotomy and owning it for 9 years this one is the site you be hearing about you can bet on it!!!

From a design stand point I'd try and cut down on the different fonts used. San-serif is usually easier to read, especially when it's small or light colored.
Also, your navbar at thet top doesn't really stand out that much. Not sure if that was the desired affect or not.
As someone else mentioned, it loads a little slow.

Pros
Interesting concept.
Cons
I typed the domain name in my browser, and "home/Default.aspx" was appended to it. Showing default.aspx is one thing but try to lose the "home".
One of the reasons why the site is loading slowly is because the thumbnail images are way too large. The 90x80 pixel image of Paris Hilton is over 26KB. At those dimensions, it shouldn't be any larger than 4KB. Try using PNG images.
From a visual perspective, the home page doesn't seem to have more than 10KB worth of text but after examining the source, you have over 55KB worth of data.
Finally, the colours that you've used in the Shout box aren't complementary. Try Black on White (or Very Light Blue) instead of Black on Blue.
I hope that helps.

From a SEO point - your site needs a lot of work.
From a visitors point, fonts are way too small -
Look around here using the search feature and you will learn a lot about meta tags and such for the SEO end.
