Default OtakuTalk.com - Another Anime Forum :-)

Hello Everyone,

I like styling forums and putting on plugins and what not, so I have an anime forum that is currently trying to get a little more active. I would like to get some feedback from the vBulletin.org community on possible improvements I can make on my presentation (graphics and styling) or in what ways I can get more users to become interested in my forums. I am also looking for techniques I can use to make my forums popular among users and if you know of any (that would not cost me money haha) then I would greatly appreciate it. I am eagerly awaiting feedback! Thank you.

http://www.otakutalk.com (Forgot the link, lol)

Thanks for the comments, wow. Um, I can style a design for anyone who needs one. Just PM me with what you need and I will be sure to give a fair priced quote. Thanks.

That would be amazing. I've wanted something clear cut and unique for so long, nothing ever really captures my imagination like those two did. I think it's very difficult to styke vB well, and you seem to have pulled it off rather well! PM coming your way...

EDIT: Make that MSN; hope that's OK!

Love the header and colours (then again I love anime images ). Not so sure on the icons and postbit though

Wow, the setup of your style looks awesome. A few things I would change though:

-Move shoutbox and statistics to the bottom of the forumlist. Shoutbox deters posting if its above the forum list, and the statistics isn't very important. Both create a scroll just to get to the start of your forum list which isn't something you want.
-For your amount of members, I think you're starting off with a few too many forums. I'd aim for at least under 12-13 forums.

Otherwise, awesome style.
