First thing i saw when i came onto your site was your logo, which is pretty average and goes with the skin, But i don't really like the custom made logo's that comes with skins as alot of people always use them. Anyways, it goes with the site so it looks fine, but its not to appealing to me as a guest. The overall theme is also good. Although i think some of the font colors could be changing but there is nothing you can do about that unless you change the skin.

I don't see an awful lot of modifications, I see you have added user options and an a google ad, and a zoint's CEO mod, which i don't know if it is any good or not. I see the ad blends in with the theme, but i would try centering the ad as it would look allot better. But i would make a new box for the ad, and separate it from under the user options.

Your guest friendliness is very average, i see this on allot of boards, just using the default welcome vB module for the guests, You should remove this immediately with a customized one or a welcome image. I would suggest making your forum as a guest more appealing.

I cannot find your forum guidelines what so ever, You should either make your forum rules or if you have already made them then make a new forum with announcements and put them in there because i cannot find them as a guest. I cannot view your staff list because you have taken off view leaders section, so it looks like its just you. Mods are your friends, get some. They can help with the promotion of your forum.

Organization and Navigation

Your forum organization confused me for a while, because i saw two general discussions, you should change one of these, I would suggest changing the site armory one to " talk about site armory " or something. You should add an announcement forum straight away, and add it under general as the first forum. Your user options on the right hand side looks like its squashed to the forum..By looking on the skin at vBskinworks it wasn't designed to be there, is it possible to put some space between the forum and the user option box? And you defiantly need to make another separate box for the ad and center the google ad. The navigation is fine, nothing need changing there. - Goodluck with your forum

thank you so far, the reason i said vbull, because i am unaware of what exoboard is, and assumed it was another type of forum software, i think it was just a simple misunderstanding.

Nevermind, I just thought i seen that name of the forum on an exoboard site ages ago.

Review done

[powerspike]

Thanks for your review Flashgear, i have already started to make some changes based on your suggestions, The site armory section i think will put to display only to uses of that site, it was something i was thinking about already =)

some great information and will be putting it to some good use =)
