    Im sure most of you have tried to start a forum at some point.
    If you have, you'll appreciate just how hard it is to get one started.

    If you have a spare 5 minutes, please check out my Playstation 3 Forum and share your thoughts

    Thanks
    Andrew

    Just a suggestion, but the forum color looks really bland... Maybe try to spice it up a little. It's just a whole lotta gray right now.

    Hello,

    You might want to adjust your color scheme a little - looks a little too gray for me.

    yea bro, you need to change the colours. To get more people you need to offer some sort of incentive to post. A ps3/ game give away when it is released?

    Appearance is going to make a huge first impression. I have setup plenty of forums in the past. The ones that have always had the best startup were the ones that were visually pleasing.

    Quick templates don't help. My suggestion would be to take some tome (hell you have 9 months) and make yourself a nice template.

    A quick reference (http://www.ps3land.com/ps3-pictures/picture53.php) shows there is some gray, but I believe the gray on your forum is too much and too dark.

    Make a theme that is easy on the eyes and looks less phpbb.

    I would try making the forum a lighter gray (anywhere from #eeeeee to #cccccc. Then put a darker color around the forum.

    On a last note, get yourself a nice distinguished logo instead of plain text.

    Good luck

    you are only working with ash and white color. please make it attractive. put some more color in it. if you wanna to promote gaming then make it look like gaming forum. put gaming idea into it. various range of colors we can see normally in a game. so develop that color concept.

    other than this i like your forum. :)
