I know i`ve put my site in the advertising forum, but I want some comments on how to improve it.

The console section and in the console forums descriptions i.e Nintendo DS it looks abit blank, any ideas what to put under there?

Also i`m looking for a mod to help me out and in return I would help with there forum.

Initial Impression

When on first entering your forums they looked quite big, This is sometimes a put off for members depending on what they like. The background colour isn't the best of attracting colours, Apart from that it don't look that bad, Some forums look a little bit empty.

Organization and Feel

The orginaization of this forum is very well done, the most important forums are at the top and are looking good, as you go further down the forums they look a bit long to some, this is sometimes a big put off in my case it would be. The forums look like they are well looked after by the owner.

Skin and Modifications

Your skin is a bit of a put off for me due to the colours of it, this forum would look better with a few brighter colours, The background of the skin is the worst put off for me because i feel that it is too brown and isn't bright enough to catch the eye, I like the Banner on the forum i think this is a very good banner, the colours match the forum and look better on the banner than they do the skin. The Ad's by google bit don't look under the banner, you may have got this due to a modification. The google search bar looks good but is an awkward postion on the forum. I suggest you find a Modification thats shows what users are online etc.

Guidelines and Staff

Guidelines are well shown on the forums, They have there own section which is very good, This goes to show you like to keep the rules situated somewhere all users can see them if guests or not.The rules are very standard and more could be done to make these more intresting, Your Staff By the looks of things is fine at the moment due to the amount of members, but one thing i have just noticed is that your at level 99 with 58 post's now is this something you have changed to make look good or is it something thats ment to be done. As for this the forum looks good.

Recommended Changes

1. Skin Colours ( Make The Colours Brighter, More Attractive.)
2. Users Online Modification This May Make It Look Better.
3. Less Forums (The forums look too big for the amount of members maybe make some a sub forum)
4. More Details of what you mean by rules, Examples Etc.
5. Keep Up The Good Work.

Weehuggy.

Thanks for your comments, I need some constructive criticism

Do you have a suggestion on what colour to use and was it just the main page background or the forum backgrounds too?

How do you mean long? do you mean the title of the forum i.e
"Nintendo Gameboy (Advance / Colour / Micro)"?

The reason I chose that colour because it was easy on the eye and didn`t give me a headache when i looked at it. what do you think about the main background being white?

Don`t look under the banner, what do you mean by this?
Yes i agree the stats would look good there, but where would I put the search bar?

Yes it is something thats mean`t to be as founder is writen under it.

Thanks again for all your comments. I need all the help I can get

Sorry if you took it the wrong way it wasnt critism it was just a few suggestions, colurs that catch the eye are mostly light colour eg blue, green, pink, purple etc. Its mainly the main background that needs changing. The way i put that your forums are too long is that theres too many parts to the forum like the game consoles could all be put under game consoles and put as sub forums if you like. It says under your name founder level 99 and under members level 1 and 2 thats why i asked that.

No no I did not take it the wrong way I promise.

The problem with text is it can sometimes sound like your being sarcastic, but I wasn`t.

The only person who I have to comment on the forum at the moment is my wife, now i`m not saying she is stupid or anything but her experience with the internet is not great.

So thanks again
