Well for one your skin doesn't look like a "gaming" theme at all to me. Your logo doesn't look gamish an the letter color blends with the background some so you can't even see the "d" in discussion. The frontpage doesn't have welcome box to describe what the sites for, like is it for console or pc games. Also your poster bots fail terrible at posting enough to justify a thread. It seems to only post one sentence. You want people to stay on your site to read what the topic is about, then after a paragraph or two then still want to read more let them link out. A cnn news bot on a gameing site? vbtube an radio/tv links point to index.php. Is EliteGaming really trademarked? Kinda harsh but that's why you posted here right?

Are you completely stupid and just looked at the index. If you read the announcements, etc you can see that we are adding the those to the forum along with other mods, etc. I said this is a Gaming/Online discussion forum, including other basic forums.

Hope fully you are just new to vBulletin or something but it is a RSS feed not a posting bot, it is simply updating the forum with new game updates, trailers, etc so if a user see's a thread title that catches their eye they can check it out and go to the direct source will all the information. Like I said we include other forums, including real-life headlines/news stories which is why we have a RSS Feed connected with CNN.

As for the style, its a professional gaming/online/general discussion forum, we use a stylish, sleek silver theme.. thats the way its probably staying for a while.

Like I said kinda harsh an sorry for such a negative review. You made this post in community reviews not in a come join my site category like your post implies.

Yes I looked farther than the index, most forums still need a welcome message to describe what the site/forum offers. Don't assume new vistors are gonna make it to the announcments to read the dead links on the index page are for upcoming features (I did though). You said that it was a gaming online forums but that was here, visitors from other than this post don't know that. At least change your meta tag descripion to what you described in the first post.

No sorry am not new an my join date shows I've been here since 2002. Yes an RSS feed that makes posts in a forum is a rss post bot. An RSS feed that I use http://www.wowinsider.com/rss.xml contains the information thats then converted an posted With images, title, description, categories, links. I'm saying yours is only posting the header topic like it was not meant to post in forums an only like a headlines list that links right off the site. Sorta like this feed that doesn't give much gamingage_rss.xml. Unfortunatly now I exceeded my views as a guest so can't be more specific about the posts.

The style just doesn't come across an a typical game forum design there usually dark. Some examples:

Gamespot GamerNade Invasion Gaming online-gaming-forums.com/ talk-gaming.com/

Ok I've spent enough time responding to this thread, either learn to accept the feedback or don't post in review forums.

Sorrowz, bro, if you want a review you have to accept what they say. Don't piss around flaming them for their opinions, it's just stupid and then I'll call you mentally handicap again. :[
