Forum is looking great, but one suggestion.

+ Remove 'Powered by vBulletin' from your page titles. Click Here (http://www.vbseo.com/f28/how-remove-powered-vbulletin-your-page-titles-4677/)

+ Add 'Introduce Yourself' section for new members to introduce themselves

Yes 1 more: why obfuscating the URL?

You ask for feedback on an URL that will only forward to a different domain.

/me agrees with Marco

I've always liked that skin, but imo it's a little overused nowadays. I've seen a ton of forums using it.

Hello,

I am curious if there are any other PC gaming communities out there with which i can share ideas etc.

My board is a decent size almost 200 active memebers, about 100 uniques a day which isnt bad considering i dont do anything to artificilly inflate my hits, almost all advertising is from in game(on the server) and word of mouth.

We host servers for:
Counterstrike Source
Zombie Master (source MOD)
Zombie Panic Source (Source MOD)
Fistful_of_Frags (source MOD)
Pirates Vikings and KNights (source MOD)
TeamFortress 2
CoD4

Just looking to see if there are others like me that I can swap ideas with.

To be honest I think you're already going about it the right way since you have the game servers. It's probably the best way to get members. I wish I got even half that traffic.

I run a gaming site. Well, 1 game. lol Not getting a whole lot of them to the boards though. I've tried google adwords and that didn't help much. Tried facebook and got the same result. Think I need to put a banner on a busy site or something 'cuz my game is very addictive and fun.

To crowded for me... to many things happening on the frontpage.
Kinda overwhelmes.
Takes gettign used to.. it might keep people from registering.

besides that, loadsa info and alot to do.
Black is always a good color for a skin imho.

i had the same with my previous default skin.
black with loadsa images and busy logo.
it looked cool, but was kinda overwhelming.

Now i have it as a selectable skin and a basic yellow/brown skin as default.
