BattleForums.com Complete Makeover + Portal
 
Just finished a month-long project upgrading the plain old BattleForums.com into a more up-to-date social hangout. Oh and also added a portal with some cool features. What do you think?

http://www.battleforums.com

Suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Thank you,
Donny

I'm not a big fan of your header. The red/blue/yellow just doesn't go together well.

However, I want to give you props for your CMS, and for not using vBulletin forums to display all of your content / articles / videos / etc. That's more than what 90% of these review threads do.

The footer is really cluttered. May want to think about reducing the ad space down there to a smaller number. I can't imagine it looking clean at all with 20 different ads on there.

Other than that, I think it's a little weird having the domain name with "forums" in it, when the site is actually more than just forums. But that's me..

Overall 8 / 10... (which is a lot coming from me)

Thanks a ton. What do you think would be a better color combination for the header?

It looks good. The only thing I do not understand is why do you have a banner advertisement (468 x 60) covering up your graphic in the header?

Everything else is great. Love the CMS. Great color selection as well.

Thank you. It's a place holder.
