Post my new Teen Forums [Reviewed]

Hello, I just re opened my Teen Forums again, after a week of them being down. I upgraded to vB and etc. a TOTALLY new style.


Can you please give me a review on my new site?



Thanks,

Initial Impression
My first thought was "WOW!" after looking at your header. I then skimmed your site (above the fold) and actually said the word 'wow' out loud. VERY impressive! (plus I'm biased to red)

Organization and Feel
The forums are organized in an easy layout. It truely feels like a club scene with the category names. Although, I don't see why your last two cats only have two forums each.

Skin and Modifications
I really like the skin and graphics. They sit well together, and are appropriate to the community. I like your favicon, too. You don't have too many visible modifications, but the arcade is age appropriate for your site. I like the sidebar, but it seems a little too wide. I notice the board is fluid (but not the sidebar)

There's only one thing that irks me, and that would be the default guest-welcome. Please change it from the stock version. I would love to see it explain what type of site you are running, for who, and have a call to action.

Guidelines and Staff
I couldn't find a link to your Rules (TOS) from the index. I then looked in the front entrance, to no avail. Finally found them in the last category. The rules seem self explanitory, except for one part.
Quote:
Swearing:
You are allowed to swear but please do not abuse the privilege.*

Other:
Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned
The Swearing: heading is the only one not in bold, and the first sentence under the Other: heading is confusing. Upon further inspection, I believe it is a continuation from your Swearing: rule.

Recommended Changes
  • Perhaps consider the last two categories' forums and merge them to see how it looks
  • Place a link to your rules on the index (header or footer)
  • Change the default guest welcome message
  • Add a call to action
  • Fix the last two sections of your rules to be more understanding
