    Kev, just want to say that I love your theme - very fresh looking. ;) This isn't surprising... you're a Bostonian. That's the way we roll.

    lol Thank you sir.

    I did it myself actually...or for the most part. That is one thing that I am never happy with ever. I always feel like I have to make it better.

    I like the theme and layout, too. For lack of a better term, it seems very "usable".

    I love the skin!

    I also like that header image/banner.

    Looks like a nice site that is fairly active; nice work.

    First Impressions: Gotta say I like the Alien and the skin quite a bit.
    Forum Content

    Quantity of Forums: You don't have a lot dude, though minimalist to keep it best? Or is there something more when you register?? Kind of makes me want to join and find out...

    Content: I saw some of your threads, seems like a very open site. There are not many forums, they seem kind of...dead? Some haven't been posted in one day, others weeks, though the forum is new, no? Post high quality posts! to get the users entertained and such! The forum does seem gender friendly. The forum does get kind of...blah after a little. As I said, maybe hype it up a bit. Contests, t-shirts with that cute alien, something to hype!

    Forum Look
    ​

    Favicon:     Omg! It's the cute little green alien! I like that you included your mascot as your favicon.

    On, Off Icons: I think I've seen them before....But it looks ok.

    Design: I love the alien, I am not font of the header though with words and everything. Looks not that good, the words are somewhat hard to read, maybe something like http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff24/sexy_goldy_rican/stomp.png could work, or better. I see in some parts of yoru forums that you still have some dafult icons that do not mesh with your colors, although not very visible, you can see white matte on some of the smileys and other icons. Other than that I like your forums visually, pretty cool and modern.

    Overall opinion:     One of your last 'suggestions' was from march, we are at june and such. Your forum has potential, but just not enough to hype a person to constantly be there. Quality posting, member attaction such as contests, and more for users to read and get interested! The forums are kind of dead, so my impression is that nothing interesting is going on.

    I hope this helped. :P Anything else please feel free to ask!
