Could you review this forum?

    I have been using this forum a lot lately and it seems like nobody is registering and posting. Could you tell me what you think of the design and content?

    The forum is about Sports, Games, and Hot Chicks.

    Thanks for looking.

    It's ok, but there is nothing immediately in your face to say what the forum is about, and who the target audience is, I would say some pictures in or around the header would be better, of maybe sports stars, and a few babes just to make things more visually appealing to the casual observer, I had to look down the threads to see what it was about.

    Thank you for the review. I agree with you. It is directed at men, so athletes and chicks would be nice on a header. Very informative.

    Keep the comments coming please. I need help with this bad.

    Very nice theme, I like the colors, and the background textures

    site is easy to read, with good contrasting colors.

    Overall, well done.

    it seem like there are lots of contents to it though. the ad to the very top probably scares users away :D

    The top head wastes alot of space - why is there so much white space, and it has nothing to do with the content of the forum. The header and tagline do not help me understand any better what the forum is about ("Sly Clever Information" means nothing to me). As a result I have to scroll around to figure out why I would be interested in your forum. Most users will just give up and move on.

    Get in their face.

    I agree 100%, lower the header by a lot so you can at least at first glance see that it's a real forum and what you will see is the first categories..which actually have quite a lot of posts! imo that tells me, interesting! there are people here who I can mingle with!
    Furthermore, imo when it comes to actual visitors/posts/threads then there are 2 important subjects which are both closely related:
    -traffic
    -moderation
    quality=traffic
    moderation=quality
    as im not an expert on forum traffic, it might be worth looking into this forum to get more traffic to forums, im sure there are a few threads around:)
    but first,its very important to change the design of the index to be more attractive;)

    Rest all are fine including design & styles.

    But I think the loading speed is an issue.

    Also allow Signature links, to increase popularity of your forum.

    Theme is Good
    But You should reduce header size from height, your header occupying a lot of space
    Recent Image Section: you should use same size images, I think you could use this section at bottom
    From Top Remove "REGISTER TO POST" Section
    You added Logo Two time, remove one
    I can see your thread entries after scrolling, remove this issue
