Good morning, scdurwood!

Your site loads very quickly - great job with speed and optimization. Who is your host?

The style is definitely unique, although I don't think the purple background contrasts enough with the purple forum headers. Typically complimentary colors go well together - maybe try one of those oranges from your logo as your background color or header color?

Also, I love the icons next to the "Last Post" in the forums. Those look great!

PS: Your awards section seems to be broken

We are using ASO (VPS plan)...

...spent the last week working on compressing anything I could to get the page size down. Went from about 600Kb per page to under 200Kb.

thanks for the tip on the awards page and the review.

seems the awards page breaks when a guest tries to access it. Will fix with a conditional.

Couldn't hurt to make your footer_time_color white to match the rest of the footer text and then time_color black to match the other black text (like your forum descriptions, for example).

Other than that, you did a great job.
