Pros:
The design itself was very cool looking in my opinion despite some designing flaws. I really did enjoy the overall feel of everything design wise. The affiliates area really are used in a nice and neat way very nice job on adding this.

I really liked the logo as it flowed well with the rest of the forums. And I believe gave your forums that edge of where your forums are coming from nice job. 😀 I also enjoyed how you are making due with the shoutbox which in my opinion a shoutbox is always great to have for any kind of forum. As long as you use it the right way. Which in my opinion you are 🙂. I would strongly suggest maybe adding it somewhere else within your forum though.

Cons:
I noticed straight off the bat that the forum itself feels a bit off being squished looking. I highly suggest if you can making the forum a bit wider and this would reduce the look of it being out of place. As it is going towards the right a lot than the even the middle.

The scrolling text in the image I guess you could call it, Is very not attractive and really hard to read at some times. I suggest moving this to the top of the forums somewhere making it more appealing and people can actually look at it the first time without scrolling. The shoutbox was another problem this shouldn't be located on the left hand side, I don't know if you can change it but defiantly should be placed either.
A) Top of website
B) Bottom of website.

Also your forums are on the verge of having to many forum sections it really is starting to expand a bit longer than a forum should be. Now I really don't know if you could make some sections within others to make the forum home a bit shorter and this would also others to join making it look like a neater forum altogether.

Final/General Thoughts:
If you adjusted the width of the forum, And moved the shoutbox/ announcement thing on the left maybe to the top or bottom it would look a whole lot better 🙂. Very nice job right now though keep up the good work. :great:

What was most liked about the website/forums:
The actual design was my favorite 🙂.

What was disliked most about the website/forums:
The way the design was laid out. Meaning how it titled to the right and the shoutbox and that announcement thing just was on the left hand side.

Final Score : Score -5 (Out of 10)
