Maybe change the layout? Or get a sidebar where you can directly see what kind of forum it is? Like some kind of explanation (: I dont see it. I think what she means is side boxes with a welcome, a general run down of what type of site it is, things like that. maybe get a premade theme from the library to spruce it up a bit. I did take a quick peek at your forum. You do have a few members. Would you be interested in posting on the opinion of your forum board? Pretty basic, needs something that identifies just what the forum is about. I get that it's some game but that's it. Come on people. These nearly one liners need to go. Try to give a thoughtful critique by listing the things you like/don't like and why, and then give suggestions of what would work better. Please read the rules if you are still unsure of what a proper critique is (there are examples) and you may want to read "what not to do" and don't just post to post.

As the other critiquers have said, a sidebar of some sort might be nice. Or perhaps a home page instead, where you can list site news and give visiting members some insight into what your site is about. Or what your game is about. Because looking through your site and through all of your posts, without downloading anything there's really no true insight into what "dont touch the bomb" is. What sort of game is it? Why should people play it? Its important to make posts like this and let your members and potential members know these kinds of things. Otherwise, they won't be interested.
Where are your rules? I looked around and wasn't able to find anything of the sort. Rules are an important thing to have when creating your forum, otherwise people will have no insight into what they can and can't do. A lack of a proper or visible (if there is one and I haven't been able to find it) rules page is definitely a turn off for any site.
It might also be a good idea to change your theme. It doesn't exactly draw the eye in- and while the default theme looks fabulous when customized, it might look a little bland here. Maybe make the cover image something from the game, or adjust your forum width? Like its been said, premade themes from the library also look lovely! But anything that draws in the eye and gives folks an idea of what your forum is about is good.
A key to getting members is activity. Make posts every day, talk in your shoutbox, just interact with your members! Be open to both criticisms and compliments, maybe advertise a bit, and you'll do fine!

Key:1-5 (1=needs improvement and 5=excellent) First Impression: 3 FairI think that it looks pretty good. I do, however, think that it lacks some color. Black and white, along with the light grey in the background pattern, just are kind of bland. Theme (colors and graphics): 2 Ok
As I said in the first impression, I think that the forum could use some more color.I would recommend that you use a pre-made color scheme from donttouchthebomb.proboards.com/admin/themes/easy. You could also add a background image of your game, or something to do with your game. Otherwise, it is not too bad. The text is easy to read in most places, although the blue is a bit hard. Layout: 4 GoodThe layout is pretty good. I think that you should add some descriptions to some of the topics. An updates section would be helpful, perhaps listing planned features. I would also recommend that you have an area where users can be reported, and where the rules are listed. This would seriously help the security of your forum. Content: 2 OkThe content seems fine, but it seems you need to enforce some rules with the content. I noticed several remarks in the shoutbox that should be removed. I hope this helps, -DJ
