Your website gave me a migraine...

Black text on dark blue never works.
You're much better off switching to white text. The only part of the site that you can read is the ads at the top.

A topic with no posts never looks good. Consider making some posts yourself, very few people start a new topic right away. Most prefer to reply to an existing topic, then start their own. It's like trying to go fishing without any bait.

Also, you might want to change your signature a little bit, to be completely honest it sounds a tad arrogant.
You'll get a better response from people if you tell people what the site is about, rather than boasting about how famous you'll be in a few years.

more or less it seems to be a different coloured copy of this one. just worded differently deffinately change the text adn background colours, and i wouldn't plug it on forums that it is almost exactly alike as unless it has something completely unique it's not gonna make many people want to add another forum that is exactly like one they arlready attend to their list

Yeah I second the blue background, it clashes like anything and hurtses my eyeses. :(

I'd suggest making it a paler shade of blue or even a light shade of red, the text isn't that bad, just the background colour is something that the human eyes should not take in on such levels. :D

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to follow it the best I can. I'm not good with the colors, I need help with that so sorry! the colors irritate me too. well *sigh* off to change my sad website again....

[writergurl]

I have updated it some. thanks for the advice you guys. I hope it's better then the way it used to look.

Much better, though I would seriously consider going even more shades lighter so that you still have a contrast but will be easier on the eyes. As I have the feeling that if you view that site for an extended period of time, it may start to hurt your eyes.

(Yes it is my LJ but linked for a reason)

I prefer greens to blues as they are more soothing as a background, contrast as well as show the black text well and are rather sooting on the eyes. I know it may not be your thing with those colours but what I would suggest is that when you open a thread that the background of where the writing is be very pale so that people can easily read the words on there, especially if there is a large amount of text posted.

I have some suggestions

1) You don't explain what this whole "Warriors" thing is! If i saw that forum by finding it randomly, I would be very confused. it's good to have a 'difference' which your warrior thing does, but i have no clue what it is.

2) you have many sections with no posts. As the admin, it's up to you to make the first few posts in each section of the forum. It doesn't look good to have 0 posts, and can discourage people from joining.

These can be easily fixed, so good luck to you
