    I have experience with blogs before but this is my first Forum, I used Phpbb3 as I thought it was the most flexible free software available. Want DP members guidance in promoting and also developing a forum

    I didnt create too many forum topics as I thought lots of forums with no post will look weird thanks in advance

    Crazy for sports

    The forum is in my signature and everywhere actually:)

    The design is not bad but you should have the name of the forum
    in the graphic in the header, the graphic in the header says
    "Greenchampion" is the name of the forum "Greenchampion"
    or Sports Crazy Forum?

    Certainly missing on a header and logo, designs looks decent enough.
    but seriously go for a good header, banner and logo.

    i would keep to the sports you know at first as you will have to post lots to keep the forum active.

    maybe move away from the default theme phpbb has many free themes.

    good luck with it

    I guess its a new concept - don't remember stumbling upon similar forums.

    However, what needs to be done is put sports headlines as new threads to start discussions.

    Good Luck

    Your logo is missing and its a little too blue for my taste. Keep working on it and make it big.

    You need to have your own logo and it'll be better if the logo is related to sports...the design seems okay to me...

    A new Logo and add a new theme would totally transform it away from the default blue.

    I like the choice of color that you use for your forum. How about incorporating some images to represent your forum? That would help.

    The layout its ok, but you really need a header and logo...

    a logo that should say All-Sports hmm... that's a toughy
    maybe just make a graphic whit most sports for the header

    Overall it is pretty good. Who is your target audience? If you are targeting U.S. sports fans, I would include other sports such as Basketball, Baseball, American Football, and Hockey. You could get topics from the daily sports news to get threads rolling.

    My target is Asia as there are no quality forums in this region, US AND EUROPE has tough competitions

    yes it is, I am planning to add three more styles so users can change between them
