Hey guys,

xboxes.org went online recently, have been getting a few members. Am looking for some critiquing of the layout and the forums. I hope you guys like it and participate in the discussions!

its alright i think it could be way better though

Every forum ive seen posted here has the exact same layout, but a different logo banner.

Seeing as how the xbox logo has green and grey I would think that would be a good choice of colors for the forum links.

Otherwise, looks good.. just like all other fprums

It needs something unique.

It looks OK, empty space didn't impress me though.

Hey,

Nothing much to review here.. just the old phpBB and a skin. You could improve the header tho..

Site takes very long for me to load.

I'm not a huge fan on PHPBB. I don't know, maybe it's because it's free, I don't know. Anyways... I would definitely get a custom skin on that forum of yours. The name is easy to remember.

I would also go with IPB or VB if you have the funds to do so of course.

Regards,

Any ideas on how to make it unique (suggested features?) or how to attract more visitors?

Thanks guys!

I really don't like how the default icons are still there. Change it up to make it look more techy.

take away the grey

If your gonna have Google Ads I suggest you move them to the buttom of the page. It looks tacky having them at the top. In my opinion you need to add more content to your header. Having just the logo there looks kinda boring. Add some navigation and maybe some welcome text or somin.

I like the X-Box logo tho

Hope this helps!!!!!
