    This is my brand new site, there is *nothing* going on here at the moment. I have an arcade on my main site which often attracts people who don't like posting in forums and just want to play games. At the moment they can't, they have to join in, and this leads to dissatisfaction, so we thought it'd be nice to have another site where posting doesn't matter but there are less games, we will refer people to it. Also hoping in the long term to attract people through Google.

    To be honest as a project it was more about learning MyBB and seeing if I could put it to any use. A bit silly really and I don't ever want it to be really busy but some activity would be nice.

    Again no formal review needed, just a quick impression. It's my first try of MyBB too so things may not be perfect.

    Yeah, don't worry about it, Mark. Hopefully FMB will make her way in here and offer a few comments. I will be sure to in a little while. :)

    Well, I personally think the header image with the desaturated game icons looks washed out. I would get rid of those icons, it would probably make the page look cleaner.

    I was just about to take a look at your community, Mark, but I can't seem to find the links in your original post.

    Yes, sorry folks...bit of an issue cropped up last night and I don't really want to be linking to my site from here, it's not appropriate. I only link to showcase the sites rather than gain new members, and as I discovered last night, the latter can create problems.

    It's nothing bad for this site, it's just something I always knew really. I should have known better. Just creates potential bad feeling.

    This thread (and my other review one) can be closed/deleted as you see fit.

    Why do you not wanna link to your sites from here? Why does it matter?

    I'm sure that if he wanted to go into great detail, he would have.

    I'm the same way, John but you have to learn to respect others' wishes. :)

    Yes I do respect that if he doesn't want to tell then fine but I was just asking and then he can decide if he wants other to know why or not.

    Just for the record, I'm NOT leaving. I have absolutely no issue with this site or the way it's managed, in fact I rather enjoy it. As I said when I joined up, I like it here.

    I've just decided that there's no reason to be have to links to my site anywhere, I don't need to promote it and it can be counter-productive to do so.

    Thanks to those who were doing/did reviews for me, I apolgise for messing you around.
