We opened two or three days ago and I am VERY happy about our opening. We already have over 50+ members and they are active. I would love some feedback though.

Very nice template and easy to read. I think your logo height is a little excessive. It's a long way to scroll down each and every time...

Not much else I would fix though. It looks great!

What makes your site different to any of the other thousands of gaming sites out there?

I respect anyone who has the wherewithal and passion to start a site on any given subject, but yeah, the gaming thing has been brutally overdone. That said, if it becomes successful and has an active community, then I guess there was room on the web for at least one more.

On the theme itself, I'll have to echo zuccs's comments; while the theme is quite clean and pleasing overall, the header is way too high. I would move the "Gaming Attic" sphere down and to the very left which, in addition to shortening the header, would allow you some room to the right if you ever wished to put anything there, be it a banner ad, links, etc.

Best of luck with the site!

thanks for the CC, we just hit 100 members today and that's not bad for only about being open for 5 days! I am very happy with the growth so far. There are a few more features I still want to put on included points/store but I am waiting for vBCredits 1.4 and their Customizer. Keep the reviews coming if you have anything else to say.

to be honest, im not a fan of the header, i have seen something similar before...

you are wasting way too much space right there... and its not really attractive , i would suggest creating a new one , yes unique, but something that wont take almost half of your screen ( vertically ) , and the rest of the site just looks simple i would say...... A gaming site needs to be exciting as well... "gaming" Like i have said to others , for example my site, even though its not gaming site (( www.xtrato.org ) .

Also try to control the spam bots, i just saw one that posted some hentai stuff... so that would help in a growing community.

Well thats that, i would really like to see a gaming theme, or something related to that field ..

Hope this helps you !.

The header is far too big. It is dominating the screen and its not especially impressive. Have to scroll in order to view the bulk of the content. Other than that, the style looks well done and the board seems fine.
