    seriously i like what is the website about and its potential, but i dont like the colors and the design at all, if you was not A DP member i would have closed the windows or ALT+F4, the colors are horrible, you need something more attractive and beautiful, if you dont wanna waste time designing your forum then try http://www.vbstyles.com/index.php?do=vbulletin-skins

    they have some amazing skins for cheap, that you can customize with your header and styles of your website.. one thing that is not bad is the header. but your forum is great just make a nice design men, i hate to see nice ideas with bad designs :)

    good luck.

    The design is okay.. could be better. For your fonts in your forum layout, use a dark blue so it's easier to read.

    the site looks okay , a good layout. the color scheme may need some work but for now it`s okay.
    You could change the color of the menu - maybe a darker version of that blue is better.

    Background is to green for my taste :D, and fonts in footer are unreadable.

    The design is great, but like others said the color scheme needs to be reworked. The colors aren't contrasting well.

    i have two suggests for you. first , you must change your background. i see that there are grass. it does not look good with your main colour (blue)

    and use the same colours on your adsense and theme. your adsense looks like ads

    Wow... I agree that the background needs to be changed and when you do, please make it a bit darker. Your foreground (aka, what the site is about) should be the focus, not the background - that grass just about hurts my eyes... lol)

    Also, give the fonts on the board more contrast from their own background to make them easier to see. In this case, I would make them darker.

    Just because you are already popular doesn't mean you can't improve - which is why you might be asking in the first place?

    Oh... and change the Google ads to the same color sceme as whatever you use on the forum to make it blend it - they shouldn't be different, you want them to not look like ads.

    I personally like the green with blue, the text just needs a darker color to contrast with the forum design.

    Can't see the copyright information at the bottom of the site because it is nearly the same color as the background. It needs changing.

    Copyright info is now easily readable - and also the background has been changed + some forum style tweaks.

    Looking for more reviews! THANKS

    I still think the text needs to be darker. It could be hard to read for some people.

    You should try making the header to use ingame screenshots rather than blurred real images.

    I personally like the real images added to the rotator. Mixes it up a bit.

    Recently a member of the forum has used this thread to reference that the designer community thinks "we suck". And that although you did not use those words you were implying that "we suck".

    Source: http://habbodiscussion.com/showthread.php?t=32883

    Do we "suck"?

    Thanks ;)

    i dont think so but the community is kinda dead. most of the posts seem to be spam and have nothing to do with the topics. work on community development.

    i like the colors.
