    well...i've been navigating a few minutes, it's a really nice site, but i can't tell you some toughts:

    The green layout of the site is great, still, it feels "weird" to go to the forum and see everything in blue. Did you think about changing the colors of the forum?


    There is one ad with yellow background, it looks way too obvious and made me automatically ignore it.

    And even though i don't know too much about these kind of sites, i think that some stuff should open in a new window. For example, you have a screenshot of some game, and the link drives to the forum in the same page, that makes navigation harder, because you have to push the back button and all that. If you make it to open in a new window, the visitor can still navigate the main site, and probabily get attracted by the forum if he didn't get interested initially.

    Sorry if it sounds stupid, but i just saw your site as "a visitor" and not as a specialist...

    Thanks for the review. What ad had a yellow background? The colors on my computer are screwed. And yes, we are changing the forum skin.

    Great site, good work!

    Only things I would improve are the colour scheme of your adsense ads (make it the same as the rest of your website) and the top menu seems a little strange with grey on the left and right of the links. Maybe fill the sides with more green?
