Just launched the forums: http://tutcove.com/forum/ Offering free VIP accounts to the first 15 registrants. ( http://tutcove.com/forum/index.php?/topic/9-first-15-forum-members-get-free-vip-accounts/page__pid__10#entry10 ) Couldnt really find a good skin, so im going with the default. But im in the process of modding it heavily to look somewhat different.
I think the current skin is pretty fine. I like your site, good forum you got there. Now you only need more members to post and interact.
Yes the theme is pretty good but depends on how many other websites have the same theme. If it just looks like a quick website where people have seen this theme a few times before they are less likely to stay on it for too long. I would change some of the colours to make it look a bit more unique.
I like the shoutbox at the top (I guess that is part of the default theme?) If not, good add. It lets everybody know what's currently going on...
Thanks guys! I have a buddy working on a custom theme for the blog and forum, to match flawlessy. So that will be up soon. In the mean time, since we launched the forums july 10th (11 days ago) we are already at: 27 members and 300+ posts!
