I recently set up a webmaster forum, on a vbulletin board. Please review it, make some comments and suggestions. Hope you like it and would like to register and be a active member also Thanks
its the default theme for vbulletin, as I said before my friend you need a better theme and a logo of some kind I like the blending of AdSense you got on top but not the one under the first post, it should be fluid as the whole site
The main issue with starting a forum is if it looks empty and people visit they are likely to run a mile! For starters perhaps reduce down the categories to make them a little more generalised initially - this will not only make the index page shorter (it takes a while to scroll to the bottom) but will also remove all the dead or unposted areas. Concentrate on the sections that have posts in and then as they become more popular you can then branch out into more specific sections (as you have done initially). Basically start small and let it grow! Secondly design wise look at doing a decent logo (your current one looks like its been manually resized in a WYSIWYG editor as apposed to editing the physical *.gif - also you want to be unique and different in order to suceed to perhaps investing in a unqiue template design wouldnt hurt! Best of luck
Thanks sabian. I'll take into consideration your comments about the structer of the forum and logo. But actually I don't know where can I get a templete from. Are there free templetes or do I have to buy it? Initially I was very interested in changing the style, but couldn't find how. Thanks
Here are some Free Vb templates you can download and use: http://www.skaidon.co.uk/free-vbulletin-styles.php Here are some paid vb templates, these are not free. http://extremepixels.com/skins_vb.php Hope this helps ya man.

Site looks nice but today you needs a lot to succedd with the forum. I think you need to have at least 5 friends which will take part in discussion to make some threads/posts...
Check out http://www.forumuniversity.com/ it might provide some insite and help in running your forum.
Man I just knew I was going to see a great skin on the site. Let down. Run a contest to get some webmasters on the webmaster forum to build or suggest a skin for VB. OR at the very least had a nice header.
Good design overall but nothing spectacular. I hope you can improve on the logo, make it more unique and eye catcher
Many thanks guys for comments. I didn't know that vbulletin's original design is good - mastermemei Anything else?
