    What do you guys think about the overall design of my site and the idea and concept behind it? Any suggestions for improvements or additions?

    Demo account:

    Username: demo
    Password: demo

    Believe it or not, restricting the forums to registered members has proved to be very effective and I think because of that I've been able to get 20+ regs daily.

    Anyways, just looking for opinions on my site. :)

    concerning the login and pass block, do you think everybody will know where to type, I don't see any borders there.
    i like the colors, but don't like the about 15px space on top of "MAIN FORUMS"
    in the bottom, the bgcolor for "Contact Us - PimpMyWalk - Archive - Top", its a bad one, i think the top dark orange will be a lot better
    The BG for "FORUM, POSTS, THREADS, LAST POST" is dark
    I have a feeling the you have a lot of free space on the pages and you want to cover them with some BG or color. You could get it mor closer to each other and I think it will be better readable and understandable
    About the subforums in main forums. I could hardly determine that they are subforums, I thoughts its the description of the forum, maybe you could have the BG change there ????
    About the content, sorry but don't have the time to go voer and suggest

    Id suggest making the left menu stand out more. Otherwise, yeah - it's great.

    i`d suggest some nice rounded borders to the left menu, so like Vaz said, it would stand out more in the publics eyes.The content seems without it to fade in the background.And the myspacestyles.It`s repeating.You could remove the rest and add smth like : "Advertise here ...", so you could make some $$$.

    Attempted to login with the demo account - but it has been banned. Apart from that, the frontpage looks very nice, although the username and password fields don't quite line up in firefox.

    very interesting concept that could work. maybe try writing some humorous articles on how some celebrities walk or something to get some content.

    also the left bar is hard to notice like others have mentioned

    Sorry about that. The demo is unavaiable at the moment as someone used it to spam the site with inappropriate messages.

    The site is not devoted to simply "walking" it's dedicated to hip hop dance moves that involve mainly the feet and the legs, hence the name "PimpMyWalk". Some examples of these types of dance moves would be the ever so popular moon walk, and some others would be the side walk, the crip walk, gliding, floating, sliding, and many others! :)

    Very attractive website and design and the colors are bright and matches well with the dark color.

    Nice Site. The username and password textboxes have the same color as the background, its hard to know the textboxes are actually there, might confuse some people.
