Need Opinions - Halo: Oscar Company RPG

[Ward]

Hello all,

I'm looking for opinions and rates on my ProBoards, Halo: Oscar Company RPG. It is currently in development and not yet ready for launch, as we're still trying to get the skins, boards, and images squared away. Myself and my co-admin are looking for second opinions on the look of the site, the fonts, our rules and the like to see if there are ways we can improve and make the site look better overall before launch.

We'd appreciate your critiques. We want our site to look good and be very user friendly. So your criticism will be extremely valuable to us during our developmental stage.

You can visit Halo: Oscar Company RPG here.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and critiques! We appreciate any and all criticism and rates.

Thank you.

EDIT: UPDATE: Our banner is up thanks to work of Shannon in the Graphic Design area. We really appreciate her work.

Our default skin / theme is finished and the layout is pretty much established. RP-specific information is being added, and we'd love to hear peoples thoughts on the finished look of the site and the content contained within.

You said your forum is in development, and until you do something with the banner, it will continue to look unfinished. If you are going with the transparent look, you might want to go transparent with your banner, too and just have the title in a more elaborate font.

It looks like I have caught you in the middle of a color change, as the dark blue Shoutbox does not complement the rest of the forum, in my opinion. And I find the red text on the dark background hard to read.

I'm not familiar with RPG forums, so I'll leave comments on the rules, etc. for others.

You've made a good start, with an interesting background.  I'll be checking back to see your changes. Good luck with you forum.

Thank you for your review. We're in the process of getting a banner made through a graphic artist on here, Shannon.

The transparent boards were the idea and work of my co-admin. I like them, we just need to get the colors squared away. I'll look into switching it to what you suggested.

The chatbox was done intentionally to look like a UNSC computer. So, while it clashes with the overall look of the board, both myself and my co-admin (Fenris) have kind of grown attached to it. Though, that said, I'll see if there is something that melds with the color scheme of the site more that still has the look of a UNSC computer system.

Anyway, thank you for your review. I really appreciate it and I'll be getting with Fenris to discuss the edits we need to make. I appreciate your honesty.

Oh, and happy Thanksgiving.
