    The design looks great with the colors and the header except maybe for the moving duck. I don't know why is it there or does it has anything to do the final fantasy? :D

    I like the concept of your forum. Its color scheme and images are well-coordinated on your theme except for the moving ducks.

    The design is nice but it would look better if you removed the ducks.

    Im sure your very fond of the 'Chocobo's' but they kinda spoil the flow of quite a nice looking forum, maybe if they didn't move that might help?

    The chickens clash with the theme of the site. Correct me if I am wrong, but did final fantasy have big white, blue and yellow chickens in it?

    Also, edit the "powered by vbulletin" in the header. That is a very important spot to put keywords. You can edit that in your phrases section of the admin control panel. Do a search for the "Powered by" phrase.

    In the VIP room description - add a link to the payment processing page. That way people can easily find where to pay you at. In the vbulletin forum description, just use simple html to add a link to the forum description. Something like "Click <a href="insert payment address">here to get your VIP membership</a>." should do the job.

    Replace the default vbulletin favicon with your own.

    Even though you might find images in signatures nice, you should at least limit their size. The images some of your members are using in their signatures is detracting from the content of the site. Also, processing all of those signature images can put a load on your server. If you start getting some real traffic, you can expect your site to slow down. The bigger the signature image, the more your server has to process with each page load. After looking through some of the threads, I found the images REALLY distracting from the content of the site. I had to look to even find the post.

    Your forum looks good. Remove the default favicon. The birds are visible in IE7 but missing in ff3.6/10

    well I did add an favicon tho it is only showing when entering specific forum part like the Bar. I think I did something wrong cause it's not showing in the index.
