vbadvanced are all but to name a few.

Critic Looking for:

• Navigation:The main thing is site navigation. Do you know what out community is all about with in 5 seconds of landing on it? If not, what is needed?
• Style - is it easy on the eye and look semi professional
• Content - do it look interesting

Disclaimer:
I am not a coder or webdesigner by any means, all this is just a hobby and I learn bits and pieces as I go alone the way. I want a feature, I google it and ask how to implement it. :)

Another few minor changes performed there. Do you like?

Your site is very clean....
Color coordinated and everything fits well...
The only thing I would suggest is your currently active users box you have in the top right, It shouldn't be there if you have the what's going on box IMO...
Ads fit very well...
The only downside I see is the banner, I don't think it matches very well...
But other than that, nice site!

Thanks for your feedback. Can you be a bit more specific though on the 'what's going on box'

I have a login box, but that does away once you log in.

You have the currently active users table on the top right....
the "whats going on" box does the same thing...

Another few minor layout changes made on the front page. There will be a style change on the way soon also.

Just made some more changes there. Any feedback is welcome
