Heya Sarhead! I'll say a few things. 🙂

Pros:
  • It's a nice theme. I've seen it used before, but the red primary color and black background really work well together with the white index. It matches your topic, which is always good!
  • I can't say I've ever seen a Youtube forum before. Maybe I'm blind, but you have a good idea that I'm alien to. A unique subject can only be good!

Cons:
  • You seem to not have many members at all... I'm not sure when you opened, but it's time to build a community. "How do I get more members?" is something I'm always asked. You've got to have something special. Do some events, promotions, hand out prizes. Pretty much give people a reason to come back.
  • There are some minor grammar mistakes throughout the forum. One in particular is the "Video. Editing, Recording, Software & Hardware" forum. There shouldn't be a period after "Video."



I hope I helped a little! If you're interested in some more feedback, feel free to request an official Forum Promotion Review HERE.​
 
Thanks Twisted I appreciate the nice feedback I made changes as per your suggestion "Video Editing, Recording Software & Hardware" it does read better. Thanks

Looking for more reviews if anyone could check and give their feedback i would appreciate thanks..<br /><br />-- 06 Mar 2014, 20:15 --<br /><br />Still looking for further reviews, changes made would appreciate if you like or dislike the design and logo or anything thanks
 
Could i get any more feedbacks? What's your opinion on adding banner? on top or it looks nice as it is? any feedback would help
 
I think the current banner looks pretty good. It's well themed to youtube and is nice and simple.
 
The forum icons should be changed, maybe to the play symbol (like the banner) I think it'll look better.

I agree. Having a play symbol for new posts and a pause symbol for no new posts might be a cool feature!
 
I have just asked my good friend, Google, about Youtube forums and he told me that there are quite a number out there. One question. Are you promoting your site on Youtube itself? It seems to be the most natural thing to do.

I will promote on Youtube soon, just getting regular members from here on post exchanges , it will give reason for people from YouTube to stick around by seeing posts on forum..

In mean time I would appreciate review if you can thanks

I really liked both these ideas and have implemented it on forum.. I changed this to all apart from exchanges i kept them seperate from rest (icons).

feedback on new looks is much appreciated.
 
do you have a play icon for when a forum gets new posts or?

they look good though. But the ex icons look odd. You should make them all the same.

Yes new post=play so users will know new posts is there,,

I thought keeping ex part seperate might be good idea, i had to search around so much to change icons in ex part lol... if it still looks bad i will keep them all same thanks though for quick feedback.
