It's been pretty much hacked into oblivion(well, it's got quite a few hacks and some template modifications), but it's still got a semi-basic vB layout. The color scheme isn't all that complex, but it works. There was a logo, but after a recent server move I seem to have misplaced it:o. The ShoutBox built into the forums was my way of letting members further interact with each other, little did I know it would become more popular the the forums themself:D. Well, just looking for your opinion on what could be improved and what you like about it;)

A lot can be improved. The logo, for starters. The 5-6 banners at the bottom are also not great, I realize you need money but placing so many ads is ugly and will probably drive some members away. The shoutbox is too big there, if you can place it left/right to the forums, take it out of its iframe and let is blend with the rest of the forum.

No offense, of course. :)

I know...I've been meaning to delete most of them

Umm...how? use seemless frames?:confused:

I also don't like the banners, but like you said, they're gonna be deleted. The Shoutbox is just garrish, right in top middle like that. Also, the little digital green counter is pretty unprofessional looking. If you're gonna use a counter, use the hack one that counts pageviews, or just get a better looking one =P

They're not bad (what do I know though, I'm a borderline vB moron ;)). lol, my sites initals are PG too =P

Yep, I meant to do that earlier, but wasn't online...

I know...but I don't know where else to place it...:(

I've got other counters I could use...I chose to use that one because it was pretty basic...
