The logo feels a bit generic, though it does have a crisp feel to it. Not sure if some more color in the lettering, or even a different font would help, but it may be worth playing around a bit and seeing what it would look like.

The navigation is not standard, but flows quite well. I had no trouble locating how to get around.

The forum icons and buttons also feel generic and do not seem to fit well with the logo. As with the logo they are very crisp and good looking though. The buttons especially feel out of place.

You have a lot of forums with not much content. You really should condensed them down and/or drop the unrelated ones. Test Me, Recycle Bin, Even the Off Topic bring nothing to your topic. Others should be merged until you have the content to support more forums.

In all it is a good looking site that could use some minor tweaking on the graphics and forum layout. Great job

Thank you,

Did you design this layout or is it a standard skin that was modified?

The orange collapse arrows look good on the main page and it wouldn't be a bad idea to add more orange bits to the subpages. The only issue I see is the pinkish background around the side menu by the banner. It doesn't match anything else and has no reason to be there. You can solve the problem by running the image through a color-desaturation filter.

Content-wise, I don't think the 'Internet' and 'Market' categories need to be there with a single forum in each. Moving these forums to other populated categories would be a good idea.

Overall it's a good forum.
