Nice colors. At least doesn't hurt my eyes

. Anyway, it will be an interesting forum if you promote it more.. I guess you could start some of the threads so that it's not so empty.

yeah, starting a forum is always the crucial point... its where you really need to put in the hard work if you want to succeed. But thanks very much for the feedback, greatly appreciated

it looks nice, but forums are tough to get going. Especially stand alone forums. Try buying some targeted traffic and maybe taking out a classified ad or two in local newspapers (or newspapers in large cities). Also don't overlook Craigslist.com and Backpage.com to spread the word about your site.

Im not exactly certain that I like the two boxes off to the left of each topic and while the header looks nice it's still only text. An image will definately grab users quicker than just plain text with a few effects.

Can a forum make any money? I have some good ideas for posts i think people would want to see. Good luck on this one. Maybe some real estate threads.

very nice and professional looking website. my suggestion would be to see if there is a mod that will put the thread title into the actual web address.

I like the design and colors of the site. However...I keep telling everyone I hate the google ads on top. I would prefer to see ads between topics if possible. I would also give a preview of the last post in each forum section so I get an idea as to what is being talked about. Also, there's too many version of gray on the home page. I would maybe make the section headers in your green??
