gsparadise.proboards.com/The concept is pretty easy to understand. It's a "let's talk about game shows" forum with community games. EDIT [12/13]:Wanted to bump this up after a while to explain some of the changes I did since I made this in 2013 (!), so here we go: I made a new banner for the forum. People liked it when I had originally put it up. The reason for the change is because the previous banner was pretty much clip art and a really bad attempt at following a tutorial I found online. I went ahead and changed some of the boards around so that it looked more uniform. Removed some unused boards. Let me know what you guys think.

Mandoli, In my own, personal opinion, I feel like the banner is out of place with the color scheme of the forum. The carbon like background is too busy for the look you are trying to achieve. I like the banner. That said, I think you should change up the colors to a main background of white (or something) and add colors from the banner to the rest of the forum so it blends better. The Forum board links are really hard to read due to the dark on dark contrast between the link color and the background color of the boards. You'll need to fix that. Other than that, I think they overall layout of the content is decent and there doesn't seem to be too many boards. Good luck, dear.

I'm making a skin (or trying to, but it's not working) that has black as the predominant color, with white as the font and a gray color for the links. Then things go downward from there. I'm probably bumping up an old thread that I made on here to see if someone will help me out.

Hi Mandoli ! I think overall the contrast is a little bit too much. Sometimes trying to pick from too many colors just results in a hectic mess, so maybe try narrowing down the colors to 2 or 3 that look really good together. That being said, it is a little hard to read the board names (dark gray) on the black background. I think making those links the blue you've got going, or even white, would make that easier to read. Have you tried fixing your background graphic? I think that might give it a nicer, less eye-jarring effect. I think you have a good number of boards and they are all chunked out nicely, so well done Maybe you could find something interesting to do with the shoutbox, or even have a link to the shoutbox in the navigation bar that just jumps you there. It seems a bit small and insignificant right now, which is totally fine if that is what you are going for but I would try to make it a little more accessible so more people can use it. Happy foruming!

What I have is one of many skins, which are probably going to wind up getting the same comments ask the default one. I am trying my best to make a new, fresh one - so that contrasting colors doesn't happen again. That one's probably using something from the banner, and then a darker-colored background color. I don't know what you're saying when you're talking about the shoutbox (I really don't; sorry). It's on every page, and I've literally gotten comments that said "why did you remove it" once. So if I can do something about that without getting people up in arms...
