Let's start off with saying that phpBB3 really does have a nice default theme. I think by coming in at the start of version 3 before that theme really is ubiquitous you don't have a need for an entirely different theme. I like what you've done with changing the colours.

However, the header you've chosen to use seems a bit amateurish, if you don't have graphics skills, I'd consider paying someone else to do it. There are many people in AF who do headers for around $10 (AU$11.81 )

Guest Friendliness is a hard area to comment on for any forum. Your forum on first impressions does look quite good. Clean and nice. If I were to change anything, I would possibly extend on your welcome message and move it below the Date line. Also, it could be good to incorporate the quick login into this message to make it even quicker.


Guidelines and Staff
Category Rating: (5/5)
Category Comments:
The guidelines you have in your forum are comprehensive and concise. In political forums there can be a tendancy for people's political/religous/moral/ethical beliefs to come out in the form of personal attacks. Your rules cover members against this and other forms of inappropriate/illegal behaviour.
My only suggestion would possibly be to place a Rules link in the navbar (near FAQ)


Organization and Navigation
Category Rating: (4/5)
Category Comments:
The forum choices you have made are quite expansive and cover the vast majority of the political spectrum without looking cluttered. One thing I like is the Poll Board, letting people take the temperature of the forum - just be sure to make sure it doesn't look like you discourage polls in the rest of the forum.

if you go to the buy/sell section of AF and then go to the graphics section you can have a "contest" and whoever's banner you like most, you can pay. You'll get the most diversity that way.

I believe many people would recommend caddyman's services - he has a thread, or you could do a contest.
