Default Web Template & Forum Skin

The web template was made by my graphics Guru, Nitroviper. the Forum is just wrapped and colors matched to the Template.

We are working on a new button set and cleaning up some left over default colors.

Would appreciate any suggestions for future releases.

I always try to say something positive but but but...
I'm sorry but this style is R E A L L Y - B A D .

The color combination hinders usability.
The design is poorly structured - you are wasting a lot of valuable space.
It's hard to distinguish the text on your buttons.
It's hard to read the text on the portal page.

Its not really bad, just see more contrast is needed. maybe make the logo more standing out. Also, more varity, different shades of that army green would be good.

Otherwise, nice design and good luck

OMG bro...that is exactly what I told the guy who owns the site. LOL. I HAVE to show him this post so I can get him to agree with me.

Although, the template itself I think is very "nice" ...different even because so many vB sites are so full of information (eg vBadvanced based and so on) that you lose the graphic design aspect and remember that in the whole FPS (Squad based gaming) community, Graphics is key.

Interesting layout. I like it. But the colour scheme isn't that bad. I've seen a lot worse. This scheme still does match somewhat, isn't bright, and is different to what many other sites have. I'd say keep it.

Different is sometimes good but in this case they should NOT keep it.
This design will only hurt them not help them.
- it will hinder registration
- the time that people spend on your site will decrease -- the longer a visitor spends on your site the more successful you will be
