Style wise, I like a thinner forum myself, looks clean - from a general board owner to another, get at least one focus and FOCUS ON IT. I am still struggling to find that focus within my forums - and that is why I suffer, even with a moderate amount of monthly hits. With the broad scope of an E/N site, if you don't have at least a small niche area, and porn doesn't cut it any more - you will flare up initially with members, and then fade out.

Delete the "default style" from your selector and make sure you put the welcome headers on each skin you have.

Also a personal observation, I used to have 6 skins, I found that with the amount of work I was putting into the site, I was doing 6 times the work as I had to edit each style most of the time. I removed all styles and stuck with one that I liked best. It has been the best decision I have made to date.

Just my 2 cents
Thank you for the review... VerbalDouche has a couple different meaning but in general it stands it means "anything goes." It is not a Porn site by any stretch so I hope I am not giving off that vibe. I know some of the members so far, including me at the present time, have tits as an avatar. Yesterday it was Hitler eating waternellon. But certainly not porn.

The forums are all open to Guest view. On the Black Teal skin it just has the locks on there to say you are not registered. I have been meaning to change this so it does not give off the perception that it is closed for Guest View. Default will be gone tonight and I have been meaning to add welcome headers. That will happen tonight as well. As far as the other skins go... I am debating on keeping one or two but not all 4 simply for the same reasons you described... it is a beyotch updating them all!

Thank you for your input!
