    Hello,
    i have done a custom vb skin for my forum some time ago, it's clean but i don't think there is something special on it. Maybe it's because i'm tired of seeing it everyday.

    Basically the question is if you think that i should redesign the site?
    When you see it, what makes you quit if something, what would make you stay?
    People is not joining a lot, maybe it's a design problem.

    If you think that i should not redesign but make a few changes i'd be very happy to hear your suggestions.

    Thanks in advance!.
    Gaston

    The skin is okay although looks a little bit dull. The decrease in number of active members may result from various factors such as low contents, low responses & similarity with other pioneer forums.

    Redesign won't attract more ppl. Give first especially unique things, then ppl will see & appreciate. I believe uniqueness is something that you're lacking. Then promotion, promotion, promotion :).

    Thanks everyone for your opinions.
    You are not the only one who said it is similar to WHT.
    I don't want that so i think i'll need to redesign. :(.

    Please keep your opinions coming, the more the better :).
    Thanks.

    I agree that the color scheme should be redesign, but the logo looks fine, as long it matches the new scheme.
