Exactly!!! Its not a personal attack on your abilities to a make a skin, run a site or you. Everyone has to start somewhere, we are telling you these things from years of experience and having been there. My first vBulletin site looked HORRID lol but at the time I thought it was the bees knees, it was not. There is nothing wrong with taking the criticism and making the site better and making yourself better at doing this. But if you want to gain & keep members you have to do certain things in order to do that. There are literally tons of sites out there just like yours. I was lucky that my first site there was nothing at all like it online, but you have some stiff competition out there. Take the main keyword and one word to describe what your site is or should be about mostly Google that word with the word forum after it and take a look at your competition. It might give you an idea of what you are up against and what you need to do on your site to make it better than theirs & to make it more accessible for members and easier for members where they want to come back.
