Pebbles, Please remove the image as we don't need an image to critique your site. That comes off as more advertising and we have a board for that. Thanks.

Hi there! Have a rate~ I rate on a 10 point scale looking at first impressions, aesthetics, and content. First Impressions:- forum name lives up to appearance haha - kinda bright...? not bad but occasionally hard to read - great organisation A Second Look - Aesthetics:I really like what you've done with Elli's premade. While I still recognise aspects of her theme, you've really gone and given it your own twist. Well done! It's rare I see someone use a premade and not leave it mostly as-is. I like the colour changes for the most part, it feels a smidgen too saturated for me but it's not painfully so, so it's really more a personal taste thing. I tend to prefer less saturated colours, but it's by all means not bad. It does occasionally present some preference issues (like, the default post text could be darker I feel) but nothing really has to change in this regard unless you agree. It's not detrimental whatsoever. My only four big criticisms aesthetically: 1. The transparent sticky menu imo would be better if it was constantly solid, instead of only when you scroll. Or at least, had a slightly higher opacity so the text on the menu bar was easier to see against the banner. 2. The green colour for regular moderators is kind of hard to see against the peach background. 3. The blue of the banner doesn't seem to be incorporated anywhere. It seems kind of jarring -- if there was even a little blue on the theme, or conversely some pink / peach on the banner, I think it would tie together quite nicely. 4. The text on the banner is very difficult to read. It's easier to read on elli's preview site because the background colours of the banner are so dark the white really stands out; but with a lighter banner, it's more difficult. Not impossible, just difficult. A Second Look - Content:I love how you've organised everything. It's in a very well thought out manner -- all your informational forum stuff up top, then informational genre stuff immediately after, then community content. A+ on how you're organised. Your informational threads are friendly, but still professional, and the way they're written makes it seem like the staff are really on the ball. My only criticism regarding content is this thread: kpop drawings. In particular, this line of the OP: This really rubs me the wrong way as an illustrator with an online presence. Reverse image searches are totally possible now for starters, and it's becoming increasingly rare to not be able to find the originating source of an image. The biggest issue with "link to where you found it" is that sometimes people purposefully remove watermarks / credits and reupload the images. I have submitted so many DMCA claims because of people doing this and it's an increasingly difficult battle the more steam new social media gets. Many pixiv artists, for instance, have left the internet all together because people do not credit them. Some people even specify not to re-upload works which get ignored because of whatever reason. This frequently also results in loss of revenue from ads that would otherwise be seen on the artist's site and/or blog, loss of commissioned revenue because the link backs are wrong and/or watermarks have been removed, etc. You may run into some DCMA issues by reposting stuff too, even if you link back to where you find it depending on what the copyright holder wants. To be on the safe side, and also to support the artists, it's always best to ask permission (or making sure the artist has specified it's okay) before reposting artwork. And if you don't get permission / can't find the original artist, don't post it. I mean like, I'm not trying to tell you you're a bad person, it's just as an illustrator I see this a lot and I am very protective about online artists' rights & how their content is shared. Overall Rate: 9/10It's a really nice forum and quite honestly if it weren't for that one thread I'd have given you a full score. Well done! I hope your forum is successful.

Regarding the banner: I mean that the banner is predominantly blue -- the sky, the girls' jeans, etc. But, there is no blue anywhere else on the forum. This makes it so the banner, colour wise, doesn't really match. If you could incorporate blue into the theme then the banner will feel more like it belongs.
And yes, the board descriptions, but also the default text colour in posts (they seem to be the same colour)
