Woah! 9 adsense blocks, and 2 adsense text links? Isn't that a little much? I'm curious as to what that brings in!

I like the logo of the Dharma Swan, but you need to make the forum name more visible.

Get some custom button graphics, and a favorites icon!

9 adsense blocks? Where are you seeing this? All there should be is 2 banners on all pages and 3 when viewing a thread. :/

I am using IE @ 1024x768

FIRST OFF:
I would add some kind of welcome header to let people know what your forum is about and why they should join. Very important to first time visitors.

Even more, I agree with Red if I landed on the site I have know idea what it’s about. Maybe add a title next to or under your logo so you can read it.

Not sure about the gray, it’s a little light for me but it works. Although in the navbar the register and such is very light in color and hard to read, same as the forum topics.

I would also change the Powered by Vbulletin in the title page.

FORUMS:
Your forums are laid out well and the descriptions are good. Good descriptions are important as it lets the users know where to post.

RULES:
I didn't see any, except for the Vb default, you need to add a good set of rules, that way members know what they can and cannot do.

MEMBERS:
Looks like you have a good membership going, I would maybe send out a quick reminder and such, maybe even on a weekly basis to have your members return after the and post their comments.

I couldn’t see your member list, so I am not sure how many active members you have.


CHANGES I WOULD RECOMMEND:
Add some kind of welcome header,
Add a good set of some rules.
Change the color in the navbar,
Change the title page,
Make it so your title of the forum is more “pronounced”


OVERALL:
Great job, I guess the key now is that since the season is over, how to keep them coming back for more.


We are all here to help out on another and let us know if you need anything else!

A google ad "banner" is really 3 "blocks" if you know their lingo.
