    Howdy. I would like comments on my fairly new forum dedicated to web development.
    Please tell me anything that comes up in your head.

    Thank you!

    The design is not bad you should have some text on the page explaining
    what type of forum it is. I think email activation is very important to
    reduce the amount of spammers you will get on your site when it becomes
    more popular.

    Your design is good only the header could be better.

    My honest view...

    Firstly the grammar in the header text is very poor.
    It yet another "Webmaster Forum" of which there are already too many so you have a tough job ahead of you.
    You offer nothing that isnt already done a thousand times, so where is the incentive to join.
    Your header design though is very nice.

    I would suggest you think hard as to what you can offer that sets you aside from the crowd.

    Hope that helps?

    Looks good, just work on getting more members and posts. Try hiring some paid posters. Good luck!

    Thanks for all the reviews! By the way, it recently got re-designed, so if you want, check again and tell me if this one's better than the former.

    "I would suggest you think hard as to what you can offer that sets you aside from the crowd."
    Yeah, I've tried, it's really tough though because I don't really know what it is that people want so badly.
    If you have any ideas I'd be happy to hear them.

    Once again, thanks!!!

    I like it, I just started up a forum also, so i feel your pain...
    I think with enough patience, effort etc it will pick up and turn out quite well for you.
    this is my new forum if you want to take a look
