The checkers, it there anyway to change that? I think a lighter color like a nice lighter blue would be nice, opaque posts and that kind of thing. It's just too dark D: And black and blue, it's kind of emoish and depressing. Something better on the eyes, diggin'?
And that banner on the top-o. Like, it's cool, nice signature for a person, but it isn't appealing (IMO) when you use a lot of official art. Almost as it you don't show effort, know what I mean? Because a lot of forums can use official stuff on the top, all you need to do is open photoshop, use magic wand copy and paste and bingo.
I'm not ragging on the forum, I want to help it as much as I can, and I think one of the most important things in forums are how appealing they look and how original their look is. :/ I totally sound mean but tbh I like these forums.
