I built my forum as a place for people to get up to date information and have a "go to" resource for current events and our government. I would like people to be open to discuss and learn about what is going on.

The target market is high school/college age, but everyone is of course welcome. I am not a firm Obama junkie, but i believe that Americans need education. Unfortunately, Americans don't know how much they really don't know...or should know...

I know I need a new logo. Money to invest is kinda tight right now, so i'm going to fumble through it unless I get a kind volunteer to help.

here is the site....
http://www.obamacies.com

My question is, when should i consider vbseo? is there a post or member count that I should hold out for?

Basic default style - nothing to review as yet.

As for your site: http://www.barackobama.com/index.php

Get a custom skin made that looks similar to that, It'd be well worth it imo.

I guess you dont need a custom skin if you really like the default one. but ya know, its kinda boring :)

excellent idea. any referrals for the custom skin?

vB4? i'm assuming since i have vb3.8 you are referring to a new release?
Is this something i will have to update or install?

well, cost is always a concern. lol do you have a link for his work?:) Most of the time it is a concern, I just take precaution. I don't want to act like I know anything about you, cause I don't. I'll PM the link, as I believe it would be considered advertising to post it here.

I like the header and how it blends into the background. Good job. Even though the icons are the default, I see nothing wrong with that.
