I visited your site... The style seems pretty average and at the moment the content isn't appealing to my needs so I didn't really have anything to say.... certainly nothing "wrong" with it though.
Just for the heck of it I followed two links on the top two posts in your lounge... the one for batteries was sold out and the one for a netbook linked to a dead page. I realize these may be posted by other users so it's hard to ensure quality and that deals do sell out but as someone just browsing trying to make a mental determination as to whether it's worth it to bookmark this site it doesn't send a good vibe. |

I'm not really sure what to do to improve, custom isn't always better- I could suggest some custom status icons maybe but do i really think they are necessary? No... The forum defaults are pretty good for a lot of sites, you're not a gaming site or an artsy site where these things are expected. Your claim to fame will be your content so I think policing that it going to be the best bang for your buck.
I just went to your free stuff section, clicked on the most recent thread- one for Free Dole Fruit bites posted yesterday and unfortunately they are already out of stock... I can see there are going to be a lot of time wasted following dead links. I don't know your personal coding skills or financial resources but an investment in time and/or money for a mod where people can report right on the post a "thumbs up" if they were successful at getting the deal or a "thumbs down" if the deal expired might be a good investment - perhaps with the display of the last date/time it was successful somewhere in the postbit would be a big time saver for the members. The thread prefix isn't bad but will be a pain to keep up with IMO. |

well , here is my post a "designer"..((<-- emphasis on that please...)) , its very.. GENERAL , i dont see anything unique about it , it makes me wnat to leave the site as soon as i enter.. but thats just me.
Honestly perhaps you can do some more unique work to the header , logo , and colors .. its very dull, unappealing to the eye i'd say.. the content seems to be good , but you can definitely improve the site .. take a look around at your competitors , or similar sites . My Suggestion is : Change up the logo a bit , make it more appealing .. it might just be me but those colors dont blend very well... if you are doing this on your own , consider taking some online tutorials on designing and choosing colors , it can help you a bit more... try pixel2life.com ..
