    Move that sidebar on the right hand side - the one that says "connect" and then has the facebook and myspace logos - its breaking the frame.

    Do you have the automatic media embedding modification installed?

    And its going to take a LOT longer then a couple of months before traffic picks up.

    I still think the dude holding the beer in your logo is crudely drawn; to me it looks more childish then manly. But I'm not qualified to review your forum here, so for all I know it might appeal to your audience. :)

    I kind of don't like the skin, gradients do not go at all in my eyes, but as Michelle said, I'm not qualified to say, it might appeal your audience.

    Manly people don't join forums. They hardly use the net.

    Well, in my opinion, your site looks like a confusion between light and dark colors. Stick with one, develop from it the other color, what I mean with that is stick with one hue [dark or light] and then develop from it the opposite, for example if you chose dark at first, develop the same skin in a light way. A logo that really emphasizes manly would be nice.

    Translation: Hey Okenyon, how are you doing? I just took a look at your site and it seemed ok, but I guess you need to market it well, that surely will generate some traffic to your site... Bext of luck, buddy!

    Better? She's basically saying you have to advertise a lot.
