Hello all.

I had posted our old site only a few weeks ago and appreciated all of the feedback, but we have since moved, upgraded to vB3, and had a complete Graphic overhaul. The frontpage isn't 100% done yet, but everything else for the main part of the forums is. Please feel free to leave us some feedback good or bad.

Thanks.

Given it's an Xbox forum, I would have thought the color scheme would be green, not blue,

Thus the very reason its not;)

We're not about being like everyone else. We wanted to take our Identity and grow on that and the Blue is our Trademark and we didn't see any reason to change, especially when every other XBOX site out there is doing green/black.

Just a little explanation as to why that color scheme.

Any other thoughts?

Change the grey scheme to a light colour to contrast with the blue. I.e white.

Again. We're not about doing what everyone else is doing just for sake of fitting in. Personally I feel that the blue already Offsets the darker grey theme. But again thanks for your opinion. Plus that particular blue on a lighter theme would be blinding.

You guys need to think outside the box a little more often :p
People are too afraid of something different than what they are used to;)

There's different and there's unintuitive. People logically expect to see green for anything associated with an Xbox, purple for a GameCube, etc. The blue is more confusing than unique, in my opinion.

Sorry to say, but the blue does not match or fit it with the grey's at all. You're clashing a very bright blue on top of dull grey. It just doesn't match. Staring it for long periods of time will just hurt your eyes.

And I understand that you want to be different, but there are reasons why people do not mix dark grey and light blue together. It just doesn't work.

You could also mess around with your templates a little more. :)
