    It says your board is currently offline. But on the idea. I think this could work. There is a lot of people interested in viral videos. If you can keep this up to date with good viral videos you could make this popular

    thanks Steve, the idea behind this forum is not viral related videos, Its a general forum for YouTubers to discuss on how to make their channels more appealing and at same time members can place link to their channel for free exposure to their videos.

    I think the domain name is fine and I like the design except I think it's a bit too dark. The nav bar almost blends in with the background. Maybe make the nav bar lighter/contrasted to the background. Because you're trying to start a community I would make signup/register a popup modal or placed inside a larger element to draw attention to it in order to increase your registered users. The login in both upper left/rt corners is a bit confusing.

    Overall, it's an easy-to-understand site and the only adjustments you might want to make are mostly just color-based. Congratulations on your efforts.

    I agree with Vagz, it's a bit too dark. I'm not saying you should go all "Google" and have ALL OF THE WHITE SPACE, but lighting things up a little would be very nice.
    All this forum needs now is USERS. Start promoting. It's about time there's a new place for the YouTube community that's NOT reddit or YouTube or Tumblr.

    I just checked out your site. It looks great! I have a few suggestions that may improve upon it a bit from a user end.
    Home: looks very nice. I was wondering about the icons next to each board item - they're all the same. If that doesn't change over time then maybe just get rid of them since their repetition causes them to lose any specific meaning. If new ones are coming which will serve a greater differentiation purpose then please dismiss this remark.
    FAQs: I clicked on a ? and the whole thing just dropped down into one long page - that's probably ok but it's a lot of content to visually scan - I'd increase the l/r padding so the eyes don't need to work so hard to read the text. The colors of it are nice and easy on the eyes...I would suggest to make the titles stand out a bit more beyond the red text...perhaps a background or bolder font.
    Search: looks nice, good options
    SignUp/Register: I started to go through this (a very nice setup by the way) but stopped when I had a glance at the Captcha...there's no chance I could make that out. Captcha's can really be an irritant for those who go through the sign up process only to get stuck on a Captcha...best avoided. A change to a easier-to-read Captcha would be a great improvement (and the only necessary one) to an otherwise very nice GUI.

    As one of the previous posters pointed out...a popup/out window to Register would be a good idea as well.

    Your efforts on this really paid off...a really great looking site. Wishing you the best of luck.

    Thanks for this wonderful review i could have asked for more s for your suggestions the Home: icon next to boards basically they change when new post does show up to show unread posts and so on I'm trying to improve it further. Thanks once again loved every bit of this review thanks.

    The logo hurts my eyes and needs a favicon but apart from that i looks good to me. Like the domain name a lot.
