Not bad for a new site! ...But it still needs some work...

The skin - I really like the blue theme, and the skin seems to be pretty well put together. There seem to be no visible flaws except for when you go into the 'My Controls' section and the title bars are orange-n-black, which doesn't really fit in well with the blue theme of your forums. I would mention the lack of a banner, but after reading a few posts on your site, I'm guessing you're already working on making one...?

Something that might put people off is the way you've set up your board. What I mean is - currently, you have to register and log in before you can see anything. Most people would be OK with this if there was a welcoming message that explained a little about the site and encouraged people to join. But currently, all you get is a log-in box with a message saying you have to log-in to see anything. Very big turn-off in the eyes of most forum-goers.

However, once you get past the log-in box there's a wealth of well-laid-out forums and sections to be enjoyed, so it's worth the trouble of registering to then be able to access the site within. What might be a good idea, though, is to put links to the subforums in the descriptions of each parent forum, perhaps?

Something I noticed was that the newest thread in a lot of forums is titled 'Rules' - OK, this is purely because no-one's posted anything else in said forums, but at the same time it's a little off-putting. Perhaps it would be an idea to make th rules part of each forum instead of as a thread? What I mean is - here in ASFH, when you go into a forum like General Discussion, you'll see that above the thread list is 'Rules In General' - so maybe doing something like this would mean that it wouldn't be so many threads on your site called 'Rules' ...?

Overall, it seems to be a good site that's pretty well put together. There are a few rough edges and flaws, but this can be expected for a site that's only been around for 14 days. I'll give it a...
