    Looks great. These little niche forums seem to always do great after catching on. Only thing I would recpmmend you change is the adsense right under the header. There is code available online that will allow you to put adsense code just after the first post in every thread. That has proven to be very effective with vBulletin

    The site looks great with design and template. The logo looks very nice on both site and forum. The background color and template of the forum attracts me. I think there is no more corrections needed for your site and forum, everything perfect.

    Would you believe that the forum banner in the header is the best performing ad on that site? I do have a small square ad in the first post of every thread as well.

    The is doing well... not bad for a $500 purchse a couple of years back.

    Thanks for the reviews.

    Hi,
    The Header can be improved, The white fonts over yellow background is bad contrast for watching.
    When the site loads into my browser about 60% of the viewable area covered by ads... too much to my taste.

    the top rounded edges of your design are broken in firefox... other than that not bad though. Your forum is a bit confusing though.

    I like the site! I would get in firefox and look at the difference in the top image. If you fix that I think it will be top notch.

    I would replace the background with something less saturated.
