i would like for the big earners to review my forum. here's a little story behind the name change that went on.

my site is a Sprint Nextel Forum. the old name use to be www.thenextelforums.com until we recently changed it to www.idenfusion.com . the reason why it was changed was for advertising purposes.

We installed a new template and gave it a new look. Some of the forums we had before have been removed so that it can be mainly a cellphone forum. but we do have gaming , cars , funny section, music and more. So were almost an everything forum.

i do have AdSense on the site and i wanted to get with some members from EF to see what else i can do to improve my forum. Please don't be rude and i ask for constructive criticism.

www.idenfusion.com is the URL. thanks for all who help with this review.

anyone?? nothing?

Looks pretty awful to be honest, very cluttered.

k thanks for your comment. anyone else?

It is a bit packed, although I wouldn't call it awful.

You may want to consider moving some links to the sidebar, and maybe removing the referral banners for Azoogle and stuff on the sidebar as I doubt they're making you very much...

You can't be doing too bad though judging by your forum's stats...

those were just added and theyre mainly place holders for other sites who would like to advertise with the same size banners. i will look into getting an image made that says that.

im currently looking into getting a custom template made so hope fully that will be fixed and i will try to make this one less crowded.

thank you, we do very well for a forum in our niche. We had a great look b4 we changed the .com and the hosting and upgraded the VB, were still working out the kinks now. I will be making new banners and placeholders, probably tommorrow.

Thanks for the input!!! :thumbup:

I don't think the design fits the niche of the forum. I immediately thought 'gamer forum' when I saw it load. I would change it to a skin with softer colors, with maybe a white background? But like ltn1dr said, you have to be doing something right with those kinds of stats.

I liked it. I liked the design, and the density of the information. I visit a lot of forums, and what looks 'cluttered' when you first come to a forum often looks different once you get used to it. Anyway, I liked it, I liked the colors, and I wouldn't change much. Just my $0.02.

It's not a bad looking site, however, the colors do not match. That's the main problem. The dark skin is fine, but the gray link text is somewhat hard to read, and the usernames at the bottom don't match the gray either.

From a design standpoint I look at it and think it's a generic template purchased from a template website. If you are making decent enough money and having great traffic and such, I would recommend buying a custom phone design to fit your niche more than the generic you have right now.
