Sorry about that added it now.

Like the skin, classic blue and white, although a dash of colour would also be nice. The only other thing is i would probably try and find a way to make the arcade a little more prominent in terms of the sites features.

Whats the main theme, or focus of the website though? Cause if its the arcade, all there really is on the front page is a single link in the navigation. If the focus is the arcade that needs to be upfront and in the face of the user.

Yea my thoughts to how to do it is something i need to work on i dont want it being hugely obtrusive.

First of all, it took awhile to find the server. So, first things first, the slow connection at first bugged me. I know that is probably not possible to change. Other than that it looks way to basic. Game sites are usually more graphical...

 

[KPR]

Sorry slow connection is because the server is having maintenence we are moving over around 200+ accounts from it and as we are doing it using WHM it does slow it down a bit hopefully in next few hours it should ease up.

Yea the graphics annoy me im thinking time to invest in a skin of high quality.

A bit more colour, and list the top 5 games or so at the top of the index page so people know what sort of site they are looking at, add a little more colour (Green will go well), and you're on your way to a great site!

Theme updated please review again please.

Sorry Kev for the slow reply. I like the disturbed skin (first one) but i have seen that used on gamer sites before. The rogue skin is nice, and you can customize the header. That would be my pick. I didnt feel the other two were really vibrant enough for a gamers forum..

Wish i still had my site up. Was looking nice towards the end of its life...im sure ill come back to it eventually though..

Oops i see youve gone with the disturbed skin...Ya thats probably the best one of those you listed. Hope you get plenty of patrons..

I like the forum logo, but im not really sure on the nav and the skin.

 

[KPR]

Can you explain more on the navigation so i can work on it please

Thanks


P.S would you think an RPG would be worth installing.
