Some of you may remember my topic a month or two back in which I asked for your opinion on which domain name to use: http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...ou-prefer.html

Well, I just opened this up today/yesterday. A lot of work has gone into it; nearly everything has been customized. Please give it a look and let me know what you think and feel free to join if you've any interest.

Thanks.

nice header and background, spice the icons and smileys a little bit.

Okay the header was quite good and the background looks too dull and empty after the header. So all the highlights are pointed at the header instead of the topics, categories and so on.

Put some spice on the icons like weblord said and add some neat background which is not too distracting, something subtle as the background. It'll decrease the feel of empty.

Thanks for the feedback. Note, however, that the on/off icons as well as the postbit icons are intentionally dark/muted. I don't really feel they need to stand out more than they already do. That being said, it doesn't mean I can't bring stuff out more via additional background images/etc.

Anyway, dark themes are much more difficult to make appealing than lighter themes, so I appreciate the constructive feedback. I will look into spicing things up a bit more.

EDIT:
Added a subtle/textured background to the body. Looks a bit better.
