    I thought it would be in Chinese!

    The red background is too dark and clashes with the other reds. Also at the bottom of the page the "Forum Contains New Posts" section is unreadable.

    Be careful of the alt text on the logo, google might penalise you for too many keywords.

    the good thing about the dark background is the adsense is more viewable and therefore better ctr..so its between better ctr and better design...

    I think the red design is apt to let people produce the nervous sense , a little uncomfortable. The forum should be popular the design is better.

    The logo looks good, but the blank license plate looks a little out of place...

    Also, the blue links on top are hard to read.

    i feel the header needs to be incopereated better, at the moment it is just stuck in the middle of the screen, it needs to have a background that streches across the screen so that it dosnt just make it look like theres just an image sitting there.

    The forum theme doesn't go well with the homepage and I don't like the red nav bar. It is too irratating.

    but the header pushes the adsense to the upper middle of screen, boosting my ctr
