I have just added a forum to my arcade site. It now has an arcade, blog, and forum. A lot of the posts were done by paid posters. I did that to give an insentive for people to register and it worked. I really want to know what can be done to improve it and what is your overall impression. If you want you can review the arcade and blog too. Here is the link to the forums. http://www.woochoochinchilla.com/forums/index.php
Your phpBB Forum look nice, a little number of user, but if you will have something interesting or will offer daily news I think the community will grow Good luck!
I like the designs of your forum. But I think that the forum is squeezed, I think you should make it like DigitalPoint.
I like the forum template! What I would change are the colors of your link buttons, if they were orange it would make them more legible
Well I'm glad all of you like the design I made. I wasn't so sure about it. I would if I only liked that kind of design. I really don't like it when The design is the full legnth of the screen. If by reputation you mean number of users and posts then that is because the forum is only like 4 days old. I tryed making them a lighter orenge like you suggested but it was relly hard to read against the white background. I still made it a little lighter though. It is now a little bit easier to read against the black background.
Indeed long domain! Other than that i like the skin and design of it. I wish you good luck with a gaming forum!
the header is a huge block of black - see if you can make it smaller and get people to the categories faster. Also, some colored buttons would be helpful.
