The first thought that came to my mind when I viewed your forum homepage was "kids". That in itself caused me to hit the back button. I am an adult, who is a carpenter. Foul language in itself has zero effect on me. When I read the administrators "welcome" post and it is riddled with swears, I just shook my head and said "waste of time".

fair enough Rich, Donked is aimed towards the northeast clubbing community, now you can imagine that we are not all 'prim & proper', the site started out as any normal forum but it became full of a lot of adult humour and that is basically how it has stayed. Thanks for your opinion though. I'll consider it when the site gets a make-over shortly

Hello,

Sorry my take on the site wasn't up to par. I am a far cry from "trim and proper", so you are actually getting a review from someone that just may have happened across the site. I have a foul mouth myself, but when it is displayed so prominently on the homepage of a site, it immediately makes the reader think either "kids", or "oh cool, I can swear here." lol

You are absolutely right rich, and that's what is kewl about the forum review section, in my opinion......

We as the forum builder can take from these post's and do what we feel we need to based off of vbulletin.org''s member's review's.....

I personally have to agree with Rick. Born & Raised in NYC, my foul makes makes the supranos cringe. The last thing as a web user I want to deal with is foul mouth on a site. Some sort of order must previal.

Don't get me wrong to each his own, but no site will become huge with such an attitude and freedom to curse. Remember when you build a site, you build it so that perhaps in the future it will grow so big some one may buy it from you and/or you get paying advertisers. Unless you dont care about those things.

I like to look at it in a whole different view. To allow such cursing means opening the door up to foul mouth kids and people which we all know equals to lots of future headaches. I personally would rather not deal with the whole negative aspect of it. But best of luck on your site anyways!

BTW: How did you get yoru news to display on the front page like that?

With a name like "Donked" I was expecting the site to be about cars (particulary a certain style from the USA South), not a bunch of college age kids swearing because they can.

Visually, it's a nice looking site and the forum columns hack works nicely with it but subject matter wise I won't be back .

Like KW802 stated the style is visually pleasing but the content is something that won't appeal to the majority of people.
