    Looking good so far, sleek Macish skin :)

    You just need some members to get it started. However, I feel that all the iPod sections should be merged into one, but that's just me.

    Well I wanted to keep each section all in their own spot. With all the different types and generations, I figured one category would get way to hectic.

    But yeah.... The next step if looking for some members. I am thinking of a way to make digg and some other dig sites to draw attention.

    Looks good, needs members though...
    I've seen many people start new forums by offering free advertising to new members that start 10-20 (decent) threads. It's a cheap way to get the ball rolling. Using the apple logo in your header is probably not a great idea though, pretty sure that it qualifies as trademark infringment.

    Very standard forum look - I would do something to make it stand out more than it is. The bright colors are a bit of a distraction from the content.

    you have way to many categories for a new forum without members...

    try to narrow it down as much as you can and increase it when you have more members.!!

    Where are members going to post without the correct categories?

    Isn't that the tagline for the Zune? or is that Do the Social?

    Good idea for the site. Design comment: the text on the forum sections and borders are a little faded.
