Personally I think it is totally dull. phpBB has excellent color scheme going on, why not use something that makes your site appear more "familiar" to people who are used to the phpBB scheme ?

I have to say I like the skin

Thank you so much for reviewing 3 other sites. We appreciate that!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with everything TFF has already said.
I can't tell who you are. I understand this forum is for sites you host, so they already know you, but a short ad line couldn't hurt here.

The colors are nice, but certainly not exciting. I don't know what color scheme you use for your main pages, but you might want to play with using them in the forums (helps blend the forums into the site too). Of course if you're using shades of grey in your main site then... well maybe an image or two?

Are you planning on putting a link on the forums back to your hosting pages? I always like logos to link to the main home page and another Forum home page link for that.

One other thing... I didn't see any ads on the bottom. I did see the phpbb and paypal buttons at the top though.

You seem to be offering a very good service, but that is only known to me by you stating it in the forum.

Upon going into your site, your logo at the top is very non-descriptive, the logo is good, but maybee a caption at the side just to say what your site is.

The Other thing is, I use PHP-Nuke/PHPBB My self, and it is very apperent that you are using PHPBB on first glance to your site. Don't get me wrong it is good software. But it kind of carries the stigma of like a "www.geocities.com/blahblah" site, in that there is nothing unique about it.

To Finalize in my opinion the two things you may want to look into doing is:

1) Sort Out Your Logo (Who, What We Are)

2) Do Some Hacking to your forum and work on some GFX to make your site more unique. It can be done.

Keep Up The Good Work.
