We have launched our site darkpooltraders.com about two months ago. This is a financial forum geared for experienced stock traders. a good amount of advertising and SEO work was performed on the site and not as many sign-ups as we expected. We are looking at changing the skin on our site, but before we move forward with doing this we would like to get feedback on our vb site pros and cons would be appreciated.

Also does anyone believe having a black vb site draws users away as compared to a basic white background?

These are the other skins we are considering, any feedback would be appreciated.

I don't know about you, but every finance or trading website I've seen, has a strong use of whites and grays along with a vibrant color or two for a professional and clean look.

I suggest you go for a custom skin along those lines. You already have great resources on your homepage, and decent customizations. Why you've installed a tournament and classified mod before working on developing content for the excessive amount of forums is beyond me, but if you're going to work on SEO - don't let it go to waste. Work on your content, even if it means paid posting. This is a trading website.

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