Please Review My Site

I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to review my site. The front end is a word press blog with a VBulletin Forum. I customized the VBulletin theme to better match the word press theme. Let me know what you think. Constructive criticism encouraged. Please let me know about the usability of the forum.
Thanks

Please review my new site

Try again, I have never gotten an error. The home page is only 160KB.

 

I guess footer is very big. And maybe you have to put ads somewhere else.
Usability of the forum is good.

 

yeah, put some content on your footer. maybe you should place an Adsense

 

I really like this site. I think the design and color scheme are a good choice for this niche. I also like the boldness and style of the iconset.

I think you should change the logo (the red circle shape) I think the type on its own would be adequete.

 

It doesnt feel crowded, nice and clean layout with a good blend of colors. Opening could take a while for some people cause the homepage seems pretty big.
But otherwise I like it. 2-thumbs-up!

 

great site except footer,this is too big.

 

I removed the little logo and shrunk the footer from 178 px to 38.
I don't think there is much I can do about the homepage size. I shrink everything as small as possible. I don't think 160KB is that big, IMHO.
A list of popular blogs' homepage size (in kilobytes)

TMZ.com - 1603 KB
boingboing.com - 1363 KB
gizmodo.com - 1210 KB
icanhascheezburger.com - 753 KB
techcrunch.com - 597 KB

So by comparison I think my site is slim and trim.

Thanks everyone for taking a look.

 

Really nice...and strange posts lol!

 

160Kb is tiny.

 

great site except footer,this is too big.

 

I changed the footer size yesterday, is it still too big?
