So what are your first impressions?

We are using lots of customized mods and style is unique to TD only. And most of the things are visible to logged in members only.


Thank you! All kind of feedback is welcome!

The style is lovely. I really like it and is one of the best I've seen for phpBB so far. The logo is great, it's simple and to the point and blends well with the colours of the forum. The small avatars for the last poster on the index is a good touch and while you don't have very big descriptions for the categories, they are to the point.

One think I don't like is how the 'SOCIAL NETWORKS & AFFILIATES' table at the footer looks a little un-organised for me. But overall, I like the forum.

Great work.

@TheNova, thank you 🙂 Well, I could review your forum if you have one?

And yes, about those social networks. I can't really fix them, that is the best layout I could get, lol. I tried, I honestly tried to make them look better...

 

[Zaborg]

Please review my forum and I will review yours or I'll give you some FP$. 🙂
Thanks!

Not a big fan of the skin, it looks too dull for a forum what is supposed to be full of energy. The same with the banner it looks too dull. Board descriptions need to be spiced up. Why do you need two groups for registered users, one should be enough, posts and topics are spread out well, well done. Keep up the good work🙂

We have updated our design (not because of what Lorcan said... 😛).
If you still see our older design (a blue one), then please clear your browser's cache.
And looking for more reviews. 🙂

I love the flow of the forum and No ads makes it really nice.

We have changed some colors and images a bit, not so blue anymore.

Suggestions, ideas, opinions?

I think that the theme formulates a slick and professional feel to it and whilst it doesn't exact pop-out to you like numerous other people's default theme, it is one that could serve as a potential hook to the forum. Allow for the realization to dawn that I am only criticizing upon the appearance for whilst I looked at the community briefly and found for what looked like a friendly and healthy compilation of members, I don't think the forum has yet found it's niche and I'll be looking to see more pzazz from the forum the next time around.

The theme is nice. I think you should change the colors of the members. It looks like the members names are bolded. They shouldn't be bolded. Also the color of members for Admins, and debate managers should be different. They look too similar

I don't think just because it goes outside the norm justified that something "shouldn't" be.

Thanks for the feedback.
Usernames will stay blue and bold since I think all members are special and I try to blend staff and normal members with not using so much special colors etc. Rank images are all the same color as well, colored username is more than enough.
I don't like to push staff members to be some extra special Godlike whatever members with tons of special red ranks, special tags and so on. We are all equal.

The site looks very nice and the activity seems alright. I think the theme is a little bit dull. I liked the old one better. The amount of forums seems good and i think the site has potential.

Saying that the style looks dull wont really help. Any tips how I could improve it?

As you darkened the images, it looks dull.
The old one is best. I don't think it needs a change.

Actually it looked like another random blue forum.
