Nah I'm just gonna make my own from now on.

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

Not that desperate, sorry.

I strongly suggest you don't ban big IP ranges, you're limiting yourself from a lot of new potential members.

PORTAL:

I like the look of your portal. And that's a lot when you figure that I hate portals.

BOARD INDEX:
There's too much going on with the forum headers ON the actuall forums. (definitely the works of extreme pixels. )
Nothing wrong with the color scheme, but the red buttons are lamo and look generic. I was so let down because I was anticipating a rollover effect, but got nothing but the hand. They should at least match the other new thread buttons and such.
I would also kill the "New posts, No New Posts, Closed Forum" Key at the bottom.
Reduce your forum width to 92-94%.

FORUMS:
thread rating graphics should always be stars or something resembling an AWARD. Your boxes do not serve that purpose justice.
The white border on your drop down menus... kinda suck.
Your post icons need to hit the Photoshop, or the Fireworks MX. With splotchy design like that, I wouldn't even submitted my forum for review.

All the other stuff:
I'm getting a vBulletin message and I'm not about to give out even one of my weak email addresses to a dead forum just to review it. But on that skin, there is NO PLACE WHATSOEVER FOR #FFFFFF.
So take your ass into your CCS and replace all instances of FFFFFF with CCCCCC.

Have a nice day.
