    Hello,

    I started the United Geek Society a few weeks back, and I would love to get feedback from the DP users! Could you review my forum as far as the design, layout, and topics.

    Thanks for helping me out!

    I would utilize some of that empty black space in the header. I wouldn't clutter it up with images but a few would work fine. Also I like the logo but the text is so small. I would enlarge it a bit to make it more legible.

    The design is not bad and it's easy to read the text however, I think the logo should
    be more prominent and I think you should definitely add some graphics into the
    header.

    It looks good. I would use some of that empty space at the top to put ads for a cool graphic. Besides that it looks pretty good.

    Not bad and as I tell everyone these are just my prefs.

    I don't like care for the theme too much, just seems bulky to me.
    The topics are fine, I love alot of topics but it will be harder for you to keep everything in order.

    All and all great job and good luck!

    The color is bit dark but the choice of categories are great. Easy to navigate as well although the header is not bit bigger and your forum overpowers it.
