Sprout Tower - A Pokemon forum

sprout-tower.boards.net

Sprout Tower is a Pokemon site made for simply having fun and to relax. The site offers boards to role-play in, areas where you can chat, and a few boards for online competitive play. 

I did not make the code for the side-by-side boards- that was made by Kagney from Adoxography.

I would appreciate if you could rate this forum, and constructive criticism is always welcomed.

Hello hootowls,

I'm going give you some comments as they come to me. I hope they help! Let's start!

Colors:
I understand that you're matching Bellsprout's leaves and mouth but in a forum, it clashes. At least for me. Perhaps try swapping which color goes where. Maybe use a light yellow for the board background, a darker green for the forum background, and perhaps the pink as accents. Honestly, I'm not sure how it would look but I'm not keen on the color theme you have now. Basically, I would recommend you deviate from Bellsprout's colors enough to be asthetically nice but not so much you can't see the connection.

Random RPG board:
Everything else is Pokemon related so this general rpg board seems REALLY out of place. I appreciate you trying to bring in something for everyone, but the people who will be visiting will be looking for Pokemon type interactions. Therefore, I would recommend you drop this board. Give you main topic the focus and make it your strength. People will come.

From my quick look, all the other boards seem to be well placed and organized. I like how you've set it up.

Rules:
Very reasonable. I like the "Accept Rules button". I just want to give you a heads up - I clicked that button and got the message "Thank you. You are now allowed to post on the forum." Immediately after that, I also got an error message. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the error - something about Error #2.

Also for the rules, I think you should have it in the boards as well rather than just in the side bar. You never know if a plugin would fail or not on other computers or browsers, which I doubt would happen but I'm still wary for it.

Overall:
I think you have a great start with your topic and the forum layout. Some adjustments will just make it all the better.

That's everything for now. Have fun and good luck!

I think the colour scheme is quite clashing (the yellow is way too bright). Personally I would opt for way more muted background colours that compliment each other more.
