    The top header bar looks a bit empty, perhaps you could liven it up by adding an advertising network in that space to the right of the logo. I would move over your forum statistics to your home page. As the site is currently constructed, it feels to me like a wordpress blog. Nice logo and great category, this sector should grow!

    Thanks for reply augster.

    I know i have to fill the header a little bit. I have to let people know what that website is all about. I'm working on it. I have to find something to fit the whole site layout.

    Cheers.

    Keep the suggestions coming guys... I have a nice "to-do" list by now. What else should i add to my list? ;)

    Well guys, followed some of your tips and things are working better and better each day. I thank you for that.

    I "remade" the logo and added a WoW Picture on the deader so everyone will know what is all about there. Also, i try to find a way to add more photos inside posts and all over the website... still, i wont switch to a heavy gfx website.

    I made the titles more visible and checked twice for my spelling mistakes :p

    I still think about if i should add after each post "If you enjoyed the post read more / subscribe / join discussion" thingy. Dunno how will it look on a forum. That's more like an blog element.

    Again, thanks a lot everyone and if you have any other ideas please post them here.

    Best regards.

    Even with the small improvements, it looks much better. I really like the graphic on the right of the header. Maybe you should add some sort of slogan to the logo?

    Only other thing I'd say is definitely include a link with each post to view the forums. At the moment, the one link to them is tiny, and I missed it first time around.

    Other than that, looks good.

    I like the site, but like mentioned earlier, I'd like to see pictures or graphics to make the page a little nicer to view.

    Neat template but it lacks catchy images.

    Not bad, but perhaps you could further work on the layout (especially the top banner with the lich king, could use a better quality one) and make the font size slightly bigger, small fonts sometimes scare away visitors. :p

    Yup... i know. Too many people told me to boost the graphics a little bit and i'll do so in the near future :rolleyes:

    Anyhow, the contest idea was a big step forward. Thanks guys.

    ...and keep the ideas coming :D

    The contest went great. Had a lot of participants and managed to keep a few of them on the forum.

    Do you think a new contest so fast after this first one would be a good idea? If yes, do you have any tips about running a contest on a forum? Give me some examples of the contest you held or something (if possible).

    Thanks again ^^

    I'm running another contest now. A story telling contest and everything is just fine.

    Plus I'm happy that with the new google page ranking update I went up from 3/10 to 4/10 :D

    Thanks again everyone.
    If anyone have any suggestions please let me know. ;)
