We've been using vBulletin since the 1.x days and we're loving it. I've designed many style sets in the past but we've stuck with this one because it's clean, simple and been doing good for us since 2001.

We have up to 220 users active at peak and continues to grow. We lost everything to a crash about a week ago, and we have 1,000,000 page views so far.

Be sure to check out the user profile section and our journal system (which I coded from scratch before the one on vBulletin came out). I'm probably gonna release my journal system once I convert it to vB3 since the coding for it is a lot more optimized and version two will offer features like comment tracking, static messages, uploadable banner images and other neat features. :)

Wanted your opinions on the place. Thanks!

-It's very...blue. I think it needs more color difference.
-Active threads image looks cut off.
-You should use a signature aligner (To the bottom) Since your author column is so long.
-Seperate posts would maybe look better.

It's a great forum. The design is nice and the colors make it unique. But it's a bit large for my liking.

It's just a bug :)
It doesn't really use 515 queries. I'll fix it. Thanks for your opinions.

The reason why it's so blue is that it's pretty easy on the eyes. Did some research on color and color combinations. :)

Yes, but alot of it blends in. I think it needs more seperation between the shades of blue you use. Like the Dark Blue style here.

Has been one of my favourite forums since I first saw it :) Very unique ideas you have put into it. Seems to be paying of.
