In The Background...

one of the only problems i think i have is server speed,

any comments are accepted (even if they make me cry :()

I love the header, but I am struggling to read the forum because of the colors. The Plexik style is a bit more readable, but seems to be missing many of the special features and has a lot of broken graphics.

I would probably move the special features section (arcade, quizzes, etc.) down below the forums or in the middle until trafic picks up in the forums.

Same is true for the general discussion forums. Move the most active ones down to force people to scroll past the others. If they see the other forums more, they might post in them more.

I honestly think your board could use a focus. If you stuck with fan fiction, for example, you could promote the forum better and build a core audience. With a focus and a core membership, you could THEN expand into other topics the members are interested in as long as you make sure your focus topic gets the most emphasis.

Your forums are too broad: you need to have a specific target audience if you want them to take off.

Gaming is done alot, so you'll need to be quite competitive.
