Hello to everyone.

Well I feel like it is the Gauntlet time. My forums are based on Bowling, and it is about 8 months old.

I have used a template and trying to decide on using a VBadvanced homepage. I am not sure if I do a homepage if it will mess up my search engine stats and never get them back even with a redirect. I am not sure if having a forum where when people get to your url they are already at the forums is bad or not. So I pose that question.

Some of the html pages are being re coded as the first ones were done with psd files.

Anyways, I am looking for honest opinions. I know some forums do not have as many posts, yet the description keyword count has helped my site be on the first page of all 3 search engines for Bowling Forums.

Not that it means anything, but for me its nice. *** Removed ***

Anyways thank you very much and I appreciate your comments.

Chris

I like it. I really like the logo area, and the forum looks to be doing good for 8 months old.

Only thing I would suggest graphics-wise is maybe making your status icons a bit more bowling ball like. Getting rid of some of the gloss and adding some finger holes would make it pop a bit more.

Anyone else?

Overall I like it, clean looking skin. Only thing that stood out to me was your adsense near the bottom, perhaps encapsulating it into a vB styled table and/or centering it would look a bit nicer.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
