Some quick feedback

Site: http://nintendorevolution.net/

Just opened a few days ago, I know it looks good, but obviously it's not perfect. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could add in terms of appearance for the forum? I know the number of forums is just right and I'm sure there's plenty of features for everyone.

I think its really good, and love the theme.
But the Google Ads on the homepage make the homepage longer than it is, and it looks kind of weird, maybe adding some things there so there is not as much of that?

Thanks for the feedback. I got rid of the ad banners around the site already. They were just a fill in to see what the site would look like w/ ads, but ads won't happen for another 2 weeks anyway.

Well, the News Editorials and Reviews would fill in those empty spots, but there isn't a lot of that right now. What do you think of the forum itself? Do you think the forum icons make everything look too... "squished"?

Love it! 😀 Nice overall design and easy visitor usability. Header's good too, I'd just suggest adding your site name/logo in there for branding purposes.

Here's the one thing you need to improve on if you want to get more traffic. Do some quick SEO like adding page titles. Right now your home page doesn't have a title and just displays the url. The forum link however has your site's title.

You'll also want to change your sites keywords. Right now you just have the vB defaults (vbulletin, jelsoft, forum, bbs, discussion, bulletin board). Choose keywords that someone interested in your site or in your niche might be searching for.

Hmm... looking around I also noticed some links weren't working. The link to articles (Smash Brothers Brawl, Epic Mickey, Metroid Other M) on your home page don't exist so I get a 404 error.

I also don't know what your doing blog wise - if you're using vB's content management system or not - but if you don't already have a plan to set up a blog I'd definitely suggest considering it. This way you could post articles about video games and video game reviews and help target traffic and drive new members to your forum.
