    The forum and skin looks nice, good layout...however...

    I dont mean to be rude, but the people posting on your forums seem strange, i read a couple posts in xbox games and everyone speaks about the same thing almost, you should condense thoese type of topics into one or something, clean it up a little! same goes for the lounge, some people ask strange questions and speak of crating a dog :s

    Decent enough design but it takes a while to load... But then i'm yet to see a vBulletin theme that loads fast.

    Try to make your images have a smaller filesize... Or be overly complicated and use one image (with all images combined) for every element of your design... Now that's a nice challenge.

    All of your images can potentially be optimized but using third party tools would decrease the quality of the image greatly.

    Would it be possible for you to use less images in your design?

    Edit: After checking your forum again I think the speed (or lack of) is due to a slow server as your images tend to have a small filesize anyway.

    It's working for me, just a tab bit slow as previously mentioned. The design looks nice. The only thing I immediately notice is that the top two boxes "Where 2 Chat" and "Welcome to the Where 2 Chat" are pushed in on the left and not on the right. That makes them look a bit crowded on the right and feels awkward since they line up with the right side of the main forum box and not the left.

    Assuming everything works okay, I've attached a (shrunken) screenshot of the site with some markings. My recommendation is to make the two boxes (Where 2 Chat and Welcome to the Where 2 Chat, above and below the purple one I added) come in a little on the right like how they do on the left. That would give them more breathing room.

    The forum's skin is good. I like the color! :)

    But the categories - uhm... some i like some don't. Well, it always depends on the member though. How long does the site working from now?
