What do you think?

[afkae]

It's only early days yet but I think my site is starting to look pretty good. I brought some skins off extremepixels and modified the disturbed one. The only thing I am really using off that skin is the icons. Let me know what you think and feel free to give me some advise on any improvements I can make.

I have no idea why, but that skin reminds me of the fusion skin that i believed was also made by extreme pixels.

- Try to limit the amount of images you have on a skin, notice how all big boards have very little images, take vb.org for example. Or board.rapmusic.com Skins with alot of images are extremely nice however, their are not to kind with 56k

- Extreme pixel skins are nice, however, try not to buy premade skins because then soem users will recognize your skin and then begin to compare your site to the site where they saw that skin.

- Try to make your skin represent what your site is about, alot of people that go to your site will not know to much about forums and things like that. Therefore, the first thing they look at is your design. If they can't tell what your site is about by looking at that then they'll be gone.

The red text is like blood..........blood....dripping from my eyeballs trying to read it!

Also what with everyone having different fonts and colors, makes things very hard to read....

Oh and does extreme pixels own your site or something? I ask because every style except the original is theres.

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

Now to get back on topic...

You're site is nice, but it took a while to find the purpose of your forum. I thought it was about punk babies. :surprised:

Due to recent attacks your I.P may have been banned. Please send an email to admin@babypunk.com.au if this is a mistake.

Message I get when going to your forums.

Sorry about that. I have had alot of attacks on my site so I have had to ban alot of IP ranges. If you would like to take a look feel free to send my your range & I will take it off. Maybe when I get a bit more knowledgable I'll make a hack that limits the amount of guests that connect to the forum at one time.
Thanx for the comments I will take them into account. As I said it is only early days yet so it is all just a process.

P.S I like extremepixel styles and just got a big tax check so I brought all the skins

Well, I would diversify your style to at least different artist as one artist tends to stick to the same design with different colors.....

it could also be a sign of bad color choice
