The forum is pretty clean but good luck getting people to come. The Blog seems fine but some of the ads are annoying.
The layout and design of the site does not look professional, and the ad placement could be better. I think you should get a professional theme for the site. The forum looks good, now you have to focus on driving more traffic to it.
For some reason, I get a horizontal scrollbar (Firefox 3/Linux) -> Not good. One Banner really is enough. I'd just use college.gif instead of header.gif What's a Gator (yes, I can figure it out myself, but thats the initial question someone will ask hitting the page by chance)? Cut back on the ads. Less is more sometimes. Subscribe for a Website critique, if you want a bit more in depth review and a backlink for your link building (don't you just wonder how hard it is to get people to sign up for a service ?).
Whats a Gator? I built the site just for florida gator sport fans, so I dont care what other people will think of it, but gator fans will know what it is and thanks for all the reviews
Please get the site deisgned professionally. The forum is obviously slightly modified from its orignal version with ur site name, and quite frankly, it matters not if your audience is just florida gators (im a nole), a good design can turn the visitor on, and a bad one (like the one u have right now) will turn the user off.
ya about the blog, there seems to be problem with firefox with horizontal scroll display. you can re-check your coding.. as for the forum it looks like another 100's of forums out there.. make sure it looks different or has more members & activity.
The forum looks good.But, I didn't liked the header image.. make it look more professional and use the colors that suits the color scheme of the phpbb style. thanks.
