Default general discussion forum - critics plz :)

Hi,
I apologise if you have seen a similar thread over at the other .com .org vbulletin sites. But i havent receieved and feedback on my forums.
I would like any suggestions from 1st time visitors about nav and functionality.. or any areas i could improve to keep members posting and hopefully the right 'stuff' to get guests registering.

The board is quite heavily hacked, some are obvious ie, flash arcade, others are more subtle any perhaps not noticed.

I just basically would love any type of feedback, kinda at my wits end about what to do next

thanks in advance

forums are located @ http://www.generetic.org

The forum looks nice. The pixel font in the header may cause problems for users who use giant resolutions. I'd bold the forum's name too. Make it stand out a bit more.

Only problem is that there are so many general discussion forums, it will be hard to get alot of members.

Love it. Clean & simple, yet graphically attractive.

One thing:

Why the Navigation link up @ the top? lol, it looks weird all by itself up there in the images.

Yeah i know man, i originally was gonna have more specific forums but read somewhere that its a good idea to start off small and fill the forums rather than have posts thinly strectched over many forums.

I dunno will see how it goes, appreciate the comments though

Looks quite nice to me, Its nice on the eyes and it doesnt look all crammed up, Well done.

Suggestion = Move the log in box from the bottom of the page to just underneath where you have "Before you can post log in......blahblah "
