    I have started a directory/webmaster forum and would like some opinions on it. Basically what do you like about it and what do you think needs to be improved upon? Best General Directory Forum. Thank you for looking.

    I can see that you have a nice theme going for you but your short on members/activity. It looks a little to crowded for a site with a low amount of activity, I think that it might scare some members off at first with so many boards but it could work. The banner at the top is really pixelated and that scares away professional members. So I think that you should fix the banner up and advertise more that should get you started.

    The forum has a really nice clean layout and color scheme :)

    I think what would make the forum look even better is with a nice header design.. even a slight gradient where the dark red is.

    Thanks for the words of ecouragement. Thus far my main goal has been getting some quality conversation going and I think I have done a pretty good job of that in less than 2 weeks. I agree that some more work needs to be done with the header and especially the logo. I went with something real basic because I was thinking about having a logo contest. Maybe I should improve it a little before then. Also looking back I probably should have went with a few less boards but it's hard to not to want to include everything from the begining.

    Looks good, but not so keen on ur logo/title. Perhaps Photoshop could make things look a little more interesting ;)

    I think the color are nice, but you could make a better banner/logo.

    Thanks for the feedback. I guess the logo can't wait so I will replace it this week. If everyone says the same thing I can't deny it.

    Nice colors, The logo looks ragged. Use graphics for it, also choose another type, so it is readable better.

    Looks great! But there're too many call to actions... visitors might be at a loss at what to do next

    Can you expand on this? I am not sure what you mean by calls to action.

    Awful color scheme, why don't you create an eye catching logo?
