Two boards...many styles

Some styles are graphically intense, while some others aren't.

Criticism and critiques encouraged.

You were able to pull of the color brown in different various shades but I dislike the color brown when it's played into web pages as the main color. It's extremely horrid but somehow you pulled it off in the end and made a decent website layout. You deserve major props for that.

The website is just too dark. You have dark blue, you have black, you have grey but you have no area's of "light" which you need on webpages. Nothing except for the text in the logo caught my eye. I just didn't like it.

ive just checked some random styles

Style 64: i dont really like the very big header, and the way that the same brown color comes back in each table cell... looks kinda boring
Style 34: suits better for a Star Wars forum, but again the returning color in each table cell
Style 21: quite identical to style 34, just other colors and another header
Style 50: this style is quite nice, one that i'd choose, nice colors, nice embedded header, only a board wrapper and the style would be complete
Style 11: dont like it very much, quite simplistic, and the header is average and the colors dont fit too well

besides the colors i find the skin pretty cool, i like the way you did a background at the login / logout field. just the returning simple patterns make me puke (dots in this case) change it with some 3d image or something, like www.nlhd.com has

I think the table colors and too dark for the background. But I like the skin. Don't like the way the gradients are though. No offense.

I like this one better, the header is pretty good. I don't like the background picture behind the welcome panel. And maybe you could get some better gradients then that.

Question: Which "gradients" do you mean?

BTW: Thanks for the comments thus far gang.

Gradients are the background images to your category lines.

there was many many styles there, some were good and some were not so good but...i agree with k33nny, it is way to dark, i dont know eather it was me, but it hurt my eyes, i strained to look at it...

Those colors would only work on less-bright monitered screens. I suggest using a grey, or lighter blues.
