I agree with no mods. I kinda like the blue.

Have you considered matching the tcat's gradient with the header's gradient? Notice how the darker contrast of blue with the white makes the title "Web Meets Admin" stand out. I have a feeling if the tcat gradient has the same amount of contrast it'll make a positive difference.

Thank you. I did actually make the gradient a little darker already, but I agree if I went more it would match better.

Also, for those that don't like the blue; I'm going to finish the blue skin today to 99.9% and then create some alternatives like red, green, and whatever else my members want.

Once I get that out of the way I'm going to start making the place unique. I'm going to install some mods that would go good on my forum, and begin to make some pages and other things for it that are exclusive to just us.

People like nexialys who have nothing nice to say (unlike some who can point out things, but then suggest how they can be improved) are discouraging but at the same time encouraging. With a lot of hard work, time, and effort I think I can put Web Meets Admin on the boards with the rest. It will just take some time and a lot of changes, but eventually, I think I can make it "my baby" I always wanted it to be.

... people like nexialys are the ones who bring the balance in reviews... if your own goal is to have just positive reviews with nothing negative, just don't ask for reviews...

if you relate my name to "negative everything all day", you missed 90% of my posts on this site..

It isn't really the negative posts that bug me. It is that you don't give me any thing that could make it better. You know, constructive criticism.

Should be unique. Since most of the forum content looks similar to TAZ.

I don't think it is similar to TAZ. I haven't been there in ages, because I'm banned, like many others. If anything you may find some references to AF, but other than that, I came up with it all on my own.

For those of you that didn't like the blue skin because of the blue (not because you just don't like the whole setup of it), I made the first alternative of it. It's red. It will be done once I get a new picture of that Earth in the banner. Here is what I have:

Skin would look better with different Forum Icons.

I agree. I wish we had our own custom ones but I'm no good with graphics as you can see. I've been on the hunt for someone that may be able to make them.

Your site visually is fine but first things first, the earth should be "Green and Blue" in all of your styles that you create if that is the logo you are going to use; It's an object you associate to meaning the "world wide web" - If it all of a sudden becomes red it is no longer "the world", its a red ball...

Content wise, I agree with some of the earlier comments in the thread;

It lacks any specific content to draw me to sign up - You say you are The community, but you haven't shown me anything I haven't seen anywhere else, except perhaps an odd red ball floating at the top

If you want to be successful, like someone above said, you have to provide something unique to attract the attention of potential users...

That being said, finding something unique to do isn't an easy task, and like everyone here will know, finding it isn't always a quick thing...

Chris
