    It looks nice. I recommend putting the top header and the banner into a white box so it's more matching with your current theme. It's only if you want to make your site from good, to better.

    Looks like good traffic and PR. What are you wanting us to rate / review about it? Just general thoughts? I would make the header smaller but thats just my cosmetic idea.

    The forum feels very cluttered. Perhaps it's a mix between the default color scheme and the vBulletin's feel/interface. Try removing the social bookmark feature in topics, removing unneeded information/boxes, and adding more warm colors.

    I pretty much agree with what Webcosmo said, the design isn't brilliant but then again it's not terrible. Looks like you could do with some shadow borders down either side to square it off and make it look less choppy.

    Around 100k posts is a good amount for a forum having been open for a year, and there's certainly not anything wrong with 2,400 members. Now you've got an active member base and a thriving community it might be worth expanding your forum by adding more specific sub-forums in areas such as general chat (for example you could have: Gaming, Sports, Movies, etc etc...) as this will encourage more topics, and more topics = more posts.

    Finally, if possible turn the chat box noises off by default. Ask anyone, there's nothing worse than a website that makes noises when you're not expecting it.

    Other than that, keep it up. Good luck in the future :)

    The forum has a really nice theme and the site statistics looks good after just one year.

    Good luck, GG!
