    Looks good though simple. Enough with the ads, I guess. About the placement, there should be some things to edit. Just my opinion. Good luck! About your posts, no specific topics?

    Looks great. The color scheme is perfect. The only thing I would suggest is maybe changing the background to an off-white shade...either blue or gray to make it a little easier on the eyes. GREAT JOB!

    Color scheme is tight. So is the design. One thing though....it might be best to remove the adds on teh front page (right abouve the welcome banner). Just a thought. But the site is very good. DP needs a skin like this:D

    Hello NeverStudy.

    Had a look at your second site submission.

    My Thoughts

    Domain Name
    The domain name is easy to remember but I think that you could put a tag line below DNC Forums sharing what DNC translates too.

    Header
    Simple, Nice and Clean... I like it

    Template
    One of the best vBulletin templates I've seen. Not to busy... but could use some touch ups on the Top Navigation and the Bottom Navigation in terms of desigining.

    Content
    Your forum discussions are excellent. Something I myself would be interested in getting involved with.

    Activity
    I think you need to market and advertise your forum more to get the activity that you need. I would not recommend hiring posters as I find them pointless to have... as you don't really build a good forum from this... you get a lot of unnecessary posts that drive real visitors away.

    Conclusion
    I have to say I really like the idea of your forum. I already found excellent information that I could use. I'll have to bookmark this for myself.

    This review was done using Internet Explorer 7.0 on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope this was helpful.
    Respectfully,
    Lhlalyam

    I like the design, but don't like adsense on any site. Just my thing.

    Thank you all for your reviews, please please please.. keep them coming.

    I would like to know how I can advertise my site and bring more members into it. And help it become more active. Any ideas, suggestions?

    Once again, thank you all!

    There is this guy on her "501" who I am not affiliated with who offers a type of script that makes relevant topics for your members to discuss. I heard it works pretty well but still looking into it for my forum.
