Erm? Hello, bare in mind that i'm only 14.

You need to pick a niche for your site and stick with. If someone comes to your site, they'll be overwhelmed by the number of forums/categories and most likely be driven off.

[Matt665]

Ok, thanks i'll possibly consider it but i probaly wont. I'm only 14 so i'd like you to rate my site on my age and the professionalism on the site.

Normally, I'm quite the fan of these simple generic looking styles but yours looks a little bland. The assortment of greys used give off a terribly bland experience.

Maybe it's the default "lastpost" and greyed out forum status icons that aren't doing the style any justice. I'd suggest adding a little colour to the forum staus icons, aswell as the lastpost icons just to give the style some highlights.

I would also set about tweaking the header. Give this area a little life by adding colours that will compliment the variation of blue used throughout the style. That said, Don't go overboard throwing colours here and there. PLus there's so much you can do by changing the css and totally transforming the style so it's a more pleasurable visual experience.

All in all, You've gone (or atleast the author did) went "blue crazy" Blue buttons, icons, header which leaves the style looking bland in areas and overly blue in others giving off this bland look. Work with a 3 colour system, the third colour will be used on icons buttons etc and will highligh the areas in the style that need broken out.

Just a note to say that there's plenty of custom images in the vb.org databse so I'd suggest paying this area a visit and look for stuff that will compliment the style and also make removing any default vbulletin stock images a high priority.

Hello, we have updated the forums turned the forums into sub-forums to tone them down a bit. How are they looking? :)

[veenuisthebest]

things have gone too complex on your forum for me. Can't make out at a glance which is a forum and which is the post, its maybe due to unlimited number of forums on your board.

[nexialys]

the only teasing thing i see on that site is the McDonalds banner... great colors, very interesting and a great promo...

your site?!

too much forums, too dark, written too small...

and your comment about being 14, useless... there are competent teenagers on this planet, no need to tell your age. i also have a grandma in my neighbour who is handling a forum with 2500 members...

[lasto]

your age dont really come into it.I dont see your site as professional at all.To be honest there is 2 many forums and not enough content.
Remove a lot of them forums and only add them when the need arises.
As for you getting 10K members in a yr i really doubt it m8 and you need to be realistic.
Content is the key - give them something they want and they will always come back.

anymore comments?

[Oyobiia]

You need to loose some of your forums ;)

You have way to many.

[SEdwards1]

Personally, your forum is terrible. The skin is not that good and as above the forum overall is unproffesional. You swear at your staff, 'spam' other boards and most of all, you have WAY too many sections....

Good luck with it.

[Matt665]

Hello, we have updated the site with more features etc made it easier to use.

We are CURRENTLY using the default vB skin we are currently designing custom skins made by us for the forum.

Cool uh?

WE also had a security check on the site we had a hacker test our site for holes that need to be patched. And i'm now quite certain too tell you that everything is up to date & NO Holes where find when he was scanning everything. Therefore your security at xtrenda is no breach and is 100% secure.

So what do you think off the update? xD

Your forums are not good at all it makes me feel like a piece of trash when I visited.

Jokes...Your site is ok but too many sections you should disable some to make it feel more better then add them back when you have more users registering.
