I installed around 90 hacks on my forums and made the theme myself.

The site runs vBIndex on the main page and i customized the display to include some graphics.

So how is it?

I like it how you use that logo with itgs nav on the main page.

However, it would be nice if you would use the same design over the whole site ;)

Yea, im planning some ideas for future themes, one of them matching the main page and a few color variations

Ok, good luck :)

Thanks ;)

I think the front page header/sidebar graphic is a little too overpowering. The forums need a bit more color too and it wouldnt hurt to keep a spacer around your liquid style.

I couldn't use spacers in the tables of main page because it also put spaces between the graphics and made it look wrong.

The main page graphics were meant to be overpowering, i wanted the eye to be drawn to it.

Woah, 90 hacks. All I can say is, it shows in more ways than one. (This is bad)

Plus you have too many forums for 34 members.

The community is slowly growing im hoping to get a few hundred members.

And how are the hacks bad? Around 40% of them are cosmetic or optimizations. Although i have noticed a slight performance drop in terms of page load times, but the performace drop is tiny; around 0.2 of a second.

Here's the hacks i have on the forums:

Well i took your advice and boy i am pleased.

I removed the hack that was causing the largest performance hit and im sorry to say it was the RPG Integration Hack (im not bashing the coder). Now the forums load 0.2 seconds faster and there's 3 less SQL queries.
