This is a new forum I am working on at the moment. I'd like to get some feedback on how it appeals to you.

Bear in mind I have not been pushing the forum at all, and I'm building content for it. So, yes I am aware of the lack of content at the moment.

Questions I had:

- Does it look appealing / somewhat professional?
- What are things you would change?

If you suggest revisions, please include enough info so that I could perform the updates.

Thanks

I like the layout, and the armadillos add to the uniqueness of it. The only thing that I notice would be that the google ad is too large.

It's smaller for members.

Make it a banner size, and move it to the right of your "register" notice. My resolution is 1680 x 1050 and even I need to scroll down to see more forums than the "Soap Box" one.

Not to mention, that looks extremely out of place, and unprofessional being centered in the middle of no where on your page.
