PureTalkForum Review Request
 
Hello everyone!

I am looking for a general review of my forum. I'd like to know how I'm doing overall with it. Therefore, you may feel free to touch upon anything you'd like. Any and all reviews/advice are greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

The welcome to pure talk community forums block is too big, or rather too tall. When I land on the home page, all I see if blocks and ads - not a single forum section is visible until I scroll down a little bit.

The colors are pleasing to the eye.

Header image weighs in at 7.7 kb, which is good.

The meta description is ok, but could be shorter and its full of trash words. Here is your meta description right now.

Something like "Debate Forum" would probably do just as good. At least then you will not have the trash words - "in, and, meet, new, people, online, and, your" - all of those are trash words that serve no real purpose.

Looking at the design of the theme - HOLY ***** - its nothing but tables,,,, I dont know what to say about that.

Wrap the text around the image on the front page.... or just lose it.

forum layout is good

theme is clean and easy to read

How do you find the facebook connect mod? I got rid of it cause not many people used it.

I like the structure and consistency of the forum.
That welcome-become-a-member-block is a bit too big though.
I like the content and the 'freshness' and it seems like a community so I actually joined.
But you need to open up some pages to increase traffic ... like making member profiles viewable to the unregistered etc ...
