    OK, i've had this forum for about 6 months now, and its going good, averaging about 70uniques a day, maybe more, but i'm looking on tips on improving my page rank.

    I'm also looking for interface tips, how does it look to you when you first go on the site.

    What about the forum topics, do they look suitable...

    Is the welcome header too big, does it make you want to join

    what about the join notification abr at the top, does it look out of place....

    Anything else you want to comment on....

    thanks in advance

    Good job. Some tips:
    1. Get rid of the big Welcome box. I think the URL says quite a lot about this sie.
    2. Close the "Buy, Sell & Exchange" for a while. Start off with few sections and then as you get more traffic increase the number of sections.

    Condense everything. Start small work your way up. Right now its a good way to attract spammers

    Hi matt,

    your site looks really good. I Agree with TimUkaj you should get rid of the welcome box it seems abit out of place. I've signed up to your forum anyways coz it looks pretty cool.
