    i got 2 comments:

    1. the 'bright' blue background makes the color scheme look a little gaudy... i always prefer very light backgrounds for forums - easier on the eyes...

    2. the header is terrible... the resolution looks a little off...

    Hello,

    It is the light shading around the header letters with the shadow effect that makes it look blurry I think. The color is a little bright, but that is not a major deal I would think. Overall, it is pretty easy on the eyes!

    Change your header ( add a logo) and dont abuse of the compression tool anymore :p

    Change this "old green style" by another one ;)

    I do not like the header, to much noise and I do not like the blue background. Blue is cool but this one is just too bright

    u might want to do something to get people posting in there or your forum wont be worth anything.

    try some posting services which will get you hundreds of quality posts.

    you could try doing a contest or something to get people posting..

    The header is GIF - use jpeg, you won't get that kind of artifacts with jpeg and at slightly higher compression quality.
