Default PaintBaller.ie

Sitename: PaintBaller.ie - The Home of Paintball in Ireland

Description:
Up until March 2009, it was phpbb based with a content management system, but not it is rolling with vbulletin, vbadvanced and vbseo. It is run as a hobby to serve the needs of the paintball community.

It is a very close night community, those that are registered yet we get large amounts of visitors who come for the quality content / articles and some stay for the community. We use flash chat4 for our evening chats for who ever is online.


Some of the hacks installed are:
Front page slide show
Automatic Thread Tagger
Cyb Chatbox
Cyb Auto Reply
Cyb Flash Banner Rotator
Double Post prevention
Display new posts and rep comments
Selective forum filter
Vbseo
VBPic Gallery
AME Media Embedder
Flastchat
VB Blogs
Subforum manager
PM enhancements
Vba Links
vbadvanced are all but to name a few.

Critic Looking for:
  • Navigation:The main thing is site navigation. Do you know what out community is all about with in 5 seconds of landing on it? If not, what is needed?
  • Style - is it easy on the eye and look semi professional
  • Content - do it look interesting
Disclaimer:
I am not a coder or webdesigner by any means, all this is just a hobby and I learn bits and pieces as I go alone the way. I want a feature, I google it and ask how to implement it.

Your site is very clean....
Color coordinated and everything fits well...
The only thing I would suggest is your currently active users box you have in the top right, It shouldn't be there if you have the what's going on box IMO...
Ads fit very well...
The only downside I see is the banner, I don't think it matches very well...
But other than that, nice site!

Thanks for your feedback. Can you be a bit more specific though on the 'what's going on box'

I have a login box, but that does away once you log in.

You have the currently active users table on the top right....
the "whats going on" box does the same thing...
