    This is my forum, its been up for almost 3 months, let me know how i'm doing/what you think about it
    PSU Forums

    a few things i am concerned about:

    1. The look and feel of the site (just updated yesterday to the best of my ability)
    2. Is it too cluttered?
    3. How is my ad placement
    4. Should i stick with PHPbb or go with vBulletin

    thanks guys, any other useful input is greatly appreciated as well

    The site looks good, it's easy on the eyes, the theme, the color scheme and the ad placement
    is good.

    I'd love it more if all the students on there would give me edu linkbacks. :eek: Actually it looks good. I noticed some of the things listed were restricted without permissions. Good site.

    I think it looks pretty decent, but the ads don't blend in all that well, you got the colors right, but it just doesn't suit something I'd click. Could just be me :)

    Just kidding about the edu links. I was on some section earlier with a poster contest or something and it said that it was restricted if not logged in. Can't find it again.

    forum looks good with nice design and layout.. but your adsense ads look separate to the site..you should blend them in a better way..

    I dont like the theme. Kinda looks just like the Default Theme.
    Go to vBulletin when you get more members.
    And The Ad placement on the side is a bad place to put it.

    You can customize your by using google to search in detail. I've customized auction, forums and cms sites just by searching for specific answers. Still can't code for anything.
