Honest Review Please

[SpeakWhatsReal]

You may post here: http://forums.speakwhatsreal.com/t.php?id=712&x=1

Or just reply here 😉 I am looking for some critiques and suggestions on the forum. You should make an account before you suggestion something about the sites features; hence you have a plethora of more options once logged in.

Thank you all...

Looking forward for, deep honest critiques and compliments/suggestions. Hit me with all you got.

It looks pretty active. However, I'm just looking at the statistics so it could possibly be inaccurate. Anyway, I think the layout is extremely hard to get used to, it's very odd. Definitely different from other templates. All in all, I think the forum looks decent. 🙂

Looking at the index, I feel overwhelmed with text. I also feel like the site lacks your personal touch. I would definitely look into switching forum softwares, if you can.

Can you go in-depth a little bit more? Not sure what you mean by overwhelmed 😛

There are a lot of links, a lot of text. Plus the sidebar makes me confused. I feel like there may be too many subforums, I would consolidate them.

Forum is flat, has no color and is to put it plainly (because that's how the forum is, plain), the forum is boring. The first thing I want to do after looking at your index is close the tab and never open it again.

Sounds harsh, but you really need a better theme, and beyond that, a better, more known and more developed software as well. Based on the copyright, I'd say you're using something either you made or someone made for you? That's how the copyright looks at least.

Can you please post a screenshot of what you see?

Hey, can you please post a screenshot of what you see as well, and what resolution are you guys at? (Screen wise)

Thank you,

Resolution is the size of the image.

1024 ? Really in 2012?

What about the main site? Doesn't look that pretty I would assume, maybe I'll ditch the main site out... Blah...

Anyways, Thanks.....

Dude, don't be rude. You asked for an honest review and you asked for a screenshot, there's no reason I can't use a small resolution "in 2012" so back off and get off your high horse. I was TRYING to help you but if you're going to be cocky and unappreciative, I don't have to waste any more time talking to you. Your comment was quite rude and disrespectful.

Rude? Are you joking? Relax, I wasn't being rude at all.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon right here as well. Most people in America use 1024, and so do I. Honestly, your forum would look worse with a larger resolution. Too much white space.

If you want to blow him off, that's fine. But you can get a review done anywhere else, including here, and they'll say the exact same thing. I'll even give you the FP if you wanted one, just to prove a point.

You're wrong, most people do not use 1024, I don't know where you got that assumption from.

Over 85% higher. That's why I said in "2012" if you want to take it as a "insult" that's fine, Im just talking facts here.

I appreciate your help, but if you're viewing sites in 1024. This website is not the only one looking "bent". Wow, maybe next time, i'll say "please have a higher resolution than 1024" before reviewing....

Do you want me to post one in 1600x900? That's my desktop.
Seriously, all of our points still apply though. Changing the size of the canvas does not affect the painting.

It looks a lot better on 1600x900 as compared to 1024, that's for sure. I don't know what you're talking about?

If you didn't want to be criticized, why did you implicitly ask for a honest review? Seriously, no need to be defensive. We shared our opinion, take it, or leave it.

ugh? Because you made the insane comment about most Americans use 1024 resolution which is just not true. 😉

I was mistaken. I'm not perfect, man. But you seemed to completely disregard what Geoffrey and I had to say! Do you really want to improve?

I agree with them. Everything is cluttered, and the software looks a bit odd.. And basic. I'd try to put some color in it 😉
