Hi Josh, Haven't done a critique in a while but I rate things as follows: Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good and Excellent. (I fully realize most folks are still learning V5, including myself, so I do understand if you don't have things perfect yet.) First Impression: Fair I'm happy that your site has some color (on the left) but it seems very unbalanced with multi-colors on the left and black and white on most of the right which takes up 3/4ths of your forum width. Plus there is a lot crammed in on the left and then it looks sparse on the rest of the forum. Maybe a very thin color border around the descriptions or a just a fatter border just on the right of the description div would balance it a bit more. I do notice you have a darker color behind the descriptions which helps. But still, I'm glad it isn't all just black and white. Template & Coding: Fair I'm like that you did something different with your template. I doesn't look like most all the other sites out there which is good! With V5 I'm not seeing a lot of creative templates so far like I did in V4 but I'm sure it is just the learning curve for most folks. I like the "xx Comments in xx Discussions" part. But still, just a bit much crammed on that side, in my opinion. When I click your side tab it moves the whole forum over and squishes it. I can't tell you exactly how to fix it without trying to replicate it but you may want to look at making it have a z-index so it is over your forum rather than moving the forum or even changing the width of the shout box/tab content and width of your forum so it doesn't do that. Rather distracting if you have the tab open and then click on a thread and the forum springs to full width. Also once the tab is open I can't find how to close it. You may get a lot of people refreshing your page (to close the tab) which you don't want if you are ad free for members plus there is the off-chance someone does it a lot and might get a ProBoards ban thinking it is a server attack. (Very unlikely but thought I'd mention it.) Again, thrilled you customized your info center but again, it looks mighty crammed in there. Then there is this part and I'm not sure what the last 15 represents: 15 members online & 15Everything below that is confusing and some things missing I think. Maybe that is something you are currently working on. Maybe just a bit more space between statistics would help but I'd have to see it. Also you may want to disable your legend since it seems you are not using the on/off (new/no new) icons. Content: Good Kind of hard to critique content since it is up to the admin what to have but I'm a little confused what your forum is about. Is it a place to just come spam like your url suggests, a place to advertise or is it just a general chat place with bonus stuff. Maybe on your banner you could actually have the name of your forum and then a sub-title below it that tells people what your forum is about. That would also be a great opportunity to maybe bring in your forum text colors into your banner. Over-all I'd have to give your site a fair but don't feel bad about that. I'd honestly be giving most forums a fair considering everyone is learning and trying to figure things out. I hope I helped just a little. Hope your site gets to humming again.

Thanks for you rate!! It is much appreciated. My forum is basically just a general talk forum where people can come to have fun and talk about anything. They can also play forums games and stuff too if they wish. I will definitely be making some improvements hopefully in the short term. Anyways, thanks again for the rate.

Hello, Josh! I'd love to see you come up with some original on/off icons. Your site is so great with a beautiful color scheme, such lovely complimentary colors to the grey, some nice remodels, and then randomly the default manila folders. Change 'em up! Beyond that, the board remodel is great and I do enjoy your site. It's very minimal and appealing. I would love to see the logo a bit more prominent, maybe have your site name in it, maybe a bit larger and colorful. As it is, the site looks like it's beheaded--like it's just missing its top and thus it feels incomplete. It also makes the ad look way more eye-catching than it should be because there's nothing else to draw your attention.
