umm... there's no forums......you shouldn't have to register to see the forums, then your site will never take off. Also, the design isn't bad, but i would consider having a cheap custom one designed.

Generic forum skin at this point. there is nothing to tease the user to register.

Change to skin to where you own the project, try to stay away from generics, there are too many as it is.

Make some board accessible and readable by guests, not letting anyone see anything is not going to help you.

what's the idea of xfraud, what's it stand for? all these are key elements for people to even wanting to register, you have to let them know upfront.

I definitely want to know what a forum is about before I register. I want to be able to read posts, and get a general feeling of the forum. Other than that, as has been said, the design is too generic. Try to design something unique, or hire a designer to.

i fixed the problem so it is working now

When I try to go into a forum:

An Error Has Occurred!

You are not allowed to access this section.

Besides that, like I said, I think that the design is too generic.
