I totally agree that people should look to alternatives to the Ipod, it simply isn't the best out there and people buy it for the hype. As for the forum, it looks as if you've customised the settings, added a bought style and that is it. It doesn't look finished or that you've put any effort into making the design link with the subject title.

I'd suggest customising the style, getting more posts, adding a few related modifications and asking for a review once you've done all that. :)

I've seen this look so many times but I like it because it's nice and clean. I agree that a more positive domain name would be better. Besides Apple could come after you if they wanted. Ipod is a trademark of Apple computers.

Why dont you use your sig for your header as it would look better. I like the style as it seems nice and clean.
