I've had the website up now for 3 months with minimal traffic and no unique user posts. (Have tried creating topics of interest). Please offer any criticism....I'm entirely open and extremely new to forum website maintenance. Thank you!

Holy crap, that's one huge header. It needs to be shrunk, majorly.

I changed the header, and will change the color later. Thanks for the reply. Do I need more content to get people in? What do you all think of the layout as is?

The cms page could use some work with the linking structure / display.

You don't use categories? Why is that? Looks good

dumb question...what's the difference between a category and section on the cms page? Seem to accomplish the same thing to me...

ok well , it hurt my eyes.. thats a really bad sign.. i dont like it , VERY bright , super simple and very ugly... truthfully , i dont mean to put you down , but thats "My" honest opinion ..... this new vB4 fever release is making vBulletin sites ugle...

Very bright had to click it of quite fast lol was dark in my room

And yet again its vb4 all the same just diff colours no real custom tweeks to it

I appreciate the honest feedback, and that kind of stuff is EXACTLY what I want to hear! I'm learning what everything does in the stylevar...too many options at times! Will look for custom stuff here soon...I'm open to any and all suggestions!

changed the colors to a much less vibrant scheme...looks boring though!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
