My forums are not complete yet, but would you consider this to be a successfull looking forum. www.maddentology.com/forums

I don't think there is a definition of a "successful looking forum"
Your header/banner up top looks real sharp, very nice.

You can get reviews in the review forum on what people think about it.

I would get rid of:
The administrators want you to view a thread before you continue to browse the forum.
You can view the thread here.
