Hey everyone,

Check out XBLForum.net and let me know what you think! About the design and concept!

Looks outstanding. The curve on top, replicating the design of the XBox is really well done. Color composition is good, subtle yet memorable. Missing favicon is really the only thing that comes to mind, other than missing content, which is hopefully just a question of time to change.

Nicely done!

Thanks! Yes I'll make a favicon soon and content will be there soon. As you can see got everything done yesterday! Thanks for the input! Although I must admit it is not my template, only some minor changes/tweaks to it myself for compatibility as I'm a coder not a designer. You can scroll down to find the true designer's link!

Quite a nice design you have there RageD!
The only thing I don't really like is the navigation bar. I don't know exactly what it is, but it doesn't seem to blend very well. I think you should make the text into image links with a rollover effect possibly. I think that would improve on the site.

Your friend Borg.

i like it so much, it is very original, but as mike mentioned that it is missing the FACIcon, i can be doing you once if u want it doesnt take more than 5mins since ur just a coder heheheh and i think if you have a dedicated logo for your forum which includes XBox's logo or aside it that would be nice and more attractive too, you have to have your own branding mate.... i don;t know what people over think, please advise.

Thanks,
Firas

favicon is working rageD but the x looks a little off centre (just being pedantic)

Hey,

Great design, as many have mentioned the curve at the top of the design replicating the curves on a XBOX 360 is great.

The only suggestions I have for you is to work on your navigation. Light grey text on a dark grey background doesn't go so well. Try working on the color a little. Black & White, Green & White, Green & Yellow, Black & Light Grey, White and Dark Grey some good color combos.

Another thing that you could improve is the font-size of everything. The font's are quite small and upping them by a pixel or two wouldn't hurt.

Overall it's a great design and concept, wish you the best of luck.

I like it

however this is a free theme for PHPBB and a lot of Xbox sites are using it.

Customize yours so it stands out

Thanks for the comments. Yes, like I mentioned above I found the theme as I am really no good with graphics. I can code but graphic design is far from my strong point. I appreciate the feedback and really hope I can get some users interested in this. If there is no userbase to the forum, then the whole thing is a bust anyway :P
