Your site needs some serious work if you want to become a respected site for vBulletin modifications.
Your header is much to big (I'd suggest 100-120px height max!) Your js site menu is annoying (no offense!) You restrict guests from viewing the most important offers, the modifications (protect them from guest downloads, but show what you got) You also have soooooo much useless infos above the forum that I have to scroll down forever to get to your forum. You definitely need to change that. Your forum icons (new posts) should have a transparent background. They don't fit the way they are now. Put your shoutbox below the forum or get rid of it. It's useless and takes up alot of space The idea of forcing members to post at least 10 posts to get a modification is not good. You should try to encourage members through your offers and support to become active members. You'll only get spamers this way and much less will register. Remove the background color from your breadcrumb navigation. For a vBulletin hacking community you still have much work ahead. Currently I would not consider signing up on your forum, especially with vB.org around All this is not meant offensive, it is constructive criticism  Best regards StarBuG

I'd make the header banner smaller, the page loads Hella slow
 oh, and I can't stand those floating navagation bars. I don't visit any site very long that uses those. other then that, it looks great  Keep up the good work bud.

Dislikes:
-Header is way(!) too big. -Header is kind of ugly (dislike dark-red + black, plus the big vB logo looks very tacked on). -Header text is just... not my style lol -Welcome box is way too big. I can't see the actual content of the page... only the header and welcome box and the shoutbox (...) -Announcements also add (waste) vertical space. If they are important, put them with your site content (which, for some reason, is some silly site statistics) . -Put the site stats BELOW your content... Believe it or not, not many people other than active members + the staff care about that stuff. It's just more in the way of what people came to see. -Same with the shoutbox. It makes it look very unprofessional (especially what is being posted there) and messy. I would have that shown only for members (optionally, even). -Yay, a huge ad below the shoutbox. More vertical space and wasted efforts scrolling down to see your actual content. -Private content... a big turnoff. As soon as I see something I can't access, I ditch the site. I would suggest either hiding what we can't see, or put a note there (before clicking) saying you must register first. -Unorganized/messy navbar links. Very disorienting... -The skin itself isn't bad... but the header (sorry to say) sucks. -OK now onto the footer (forumhome)... it has the same problems as the header, but they aren't as important because the footer is below the content (easier to ignore)......... -The footer should NOT take up a full screen (1280x1024). Waste of bandwidth - very few people care about that and it just slows down their page loads. -WOL is a bit messy with all the random colors (+the legend). -The topsites make it even messier with the random images scrolling through there (and colors you have no control over... at least lose the marquee. -Today's events. ok so it's neat, but really... if I wanted CNN news I would go to CNN. Those events should be specific to your forum. It also wastes even more space (wow). -The forum navigation is annoying. Likes -The skin/content isn't too bad... it just took forever for me to get to it!

What everyone said.
Content: Lots of different types of content. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. Am I at a vB site? or a general web developing site? I just don't know... Content I can't see? I just don't really like that. It would be wise to hide that from view. Everytime someone registers a thread is created? C'mon a little over kill isn't it? I'd keep the intro section if you want, but it just seems a little redundant having a million threads that don't get replied to 90% of the time. I would restructure your forums on your main forum, it just doesn't seem very organized. The content that is there is good, and should be built upon... good job. Header - Like everyone said, that is HUGE... the welcome header is cool, but quite large... id make it 1/4 the size. All it needs is a welcome message, a quick one sentence description of the site, and a register link. The size of it increases the amount I have to scroll... Ads - Ads are fine if used properly. This is just ugly, and annoying. I'd definately take it out of the navbar. Then again under the shout box? Im just being redundant of the others lol... Shoutbox - I have never been there and the content be relevent to the site in it. I suggest putting it at the bottom instead, so it's doesn't drive away any potential members. Although I use one on my social site, but on a site you want to be taken proffesionally serious I don't think it's necissary to have one at all. Navbar - Bleh... site is so hard to navigate with all that stuff on there. Not only that not very appealing to the eyes at all. I would take some stuff off there, it's probably not needed at all. Make some drop downs, or add them to your quick links if need be, but that just looks plain terrible. Also, take out the java script side menu... it's annoying... Footer - again a case of way too much stuff goin on... CNN events - Who cares? Im there for vB. top lists... what for? total guests, total members... meh... Threadview - Looks good with the exception of I dont like the tables in the postbit. Lots of stuff goin on there too, that's just minor. The content you have built is good. Keep going on that. To be honest, I like the colors, looks good to me. Change things that have been mentioned, make it more appealing, and you might have a professional looking vB site..
