I'll give it a go.

Overall. Overall, the site as a whole looks good, just not for Prison Break. Change the orange (which has no 'anchor' in the show) to a gray (prison uniform colors, cell wall colors), a blue (guard uniforms) or even better, try and integrate more of the graphics from the show into the header. The graphic for the header looks good, but not in orange, and it could look a lot better. Jail cell bars or something would look AWESOME instead of that orange.

Welcome information: I like the welcome information, and I LOVE that you're running a contest to get things going. What could work a little better though, is in the welcome box, have links to the references you're making; e.g., "Membership is free" should link to the register page, "Grand Prize" should link to a page or picture showing the prize, etc.

Poll: Male or a Female? What are we talking about? Am I a male or a female, or are we talking about something on the show?

Sponsored Links: I don't think this needs to be in its own box. I like the placement, but I'd set the background color to white and just have them free-floating. Probably get a better click-through on the adsense one as well.

Content: Call me uppity, but if you're going to have a 'front page' section via portal mod, you should probably have something in the way of news there. Doesn't have to be much really, but I'm expecting to see more than just links to the forum and contest details. Give me some information; air dates, schedules, links to spoilers, etc. Something.

Forum Content: A+. This is really good actually. The discussion is ontopic, driven, and there are some good news bits in your forum that was definitely worth reading. You might see about getting some of that to the front page.

Overall, I don't know how long the site's been around, but it looks like it's doing fairly well. Don't take my critiques as mean either, because altogether, I like the site, and could easily see myself spending time there (if I had any free time anyway). I do highly recommending ditching the orangish-pink color scheme as soon as you can though.

Great this is what I needed, thanks so much.

The forum was started July 17 and yes I need a skin that fits the show BAD. In a month or two I'lkl probably drop $400-500 on a pro design.

If you've got 645 members in a little over a month, you're doing much better than I suspected. Kudos.

Yah its been crazy, since the show just started the forum really started booming. MySpace has had alot to do with promoting the site, and its ranked 3rd for prison break forum/s on google.

I wasnt expecting it to launch this fast.

I agree with changing the color to match more of the theme of PrisonBreak.
