Raising Awareness?

[Valcry]

Hi folks!

I'd like some hints, advice, and a lot of feedback if possible.

My site is a site based on a actual non-profit organization. The forum is just to raise awareness and bring people together such as our sponsors, volunteers, and people who just care for dogs in general.

I'd like some feedback regarding first impressions, tech, and anything at the slightest of stuff that would point you out the door rather then staying. The theme I tweaked was through the Virtual Theme editor, the logo is trade marked under our license, and ranks are created by courteously of 2787cmt with some of my modifications [granted permission].

Notice: I am looking into getting the logo completely redone. But trying to find a good graphical person at the moment. 🙂

I highly appreciate your feedback!

Ok the first thing I notice when I look at the forum is a distinct lack of content and it makes me want to leave almost instantly. You need to fill all the empty boards up as soon as you can. The theme is ok, nothing more and nothing less, sure it looks ok and there isn't anything 'wrong' with it as such, but its not exactly 'wow' either, there is nothing particularly unique about it. If you fix these issues, it will hopefully help you with some new members.

Thank you. I am now adding more useful content.
I'm also in the process of finding a person who can create a custom theme for me. Themers nowa days seem to be getting rare as of late.
