**IntellectToday** · 04-22-2008, 08:33 PM

Hello!

I'm new to the community here, but so far it looks fantastic! Well, I found the Website Review Forum and figured that I would stop in and see what you guys have to say about my website!

So, here it is:

I like it - nice look - big banner, although you may want to put the welcome section above the fold - I wasn't sure who the forum was aimed at until I scrolled down.

it's a default vb theme correct?

Either way it's a great site and one of those sites I wish I had thought of

If you ever want to sell please contact me first!

i'd suggest a diff theme, but this is right up my alley. I signed up =)

Agreed, a welcome message is needed. Think social bookmarking: could I copy/paste your welcome/introduction directly to my Blinklist? The forum itself looks intriguing enough for a return visit; that will be the time I begin to compose a proper mini-review for this forum's bookmark description.

It's a very good idea for a site, and I'll likely be joining. With that said, you really need to get rid of that ad up in the corner. I told Ad Block Pro to get rid of it for me, but, well, it's a visual blight.

The content is sparse, but seems very good. I'd concentrate more on developing and encouraging good quality content than a lot of bad content. You've been doing that so far, so just continue with the success you've shown.

Well, as suggested above, I will be working on the Welcome Message, and I shall be removing the ad in the corner.

I've gotten a lot of great advice - it's been very helpful, and it's greatly appreciated!

Hello Micheal, I just visited your site and it's looking good. I would suggest trimming your header or your ad to conserve space at the upper part of your site and make you welcome message a little bigger. I like the chat box just before the forum topics, that makes users to communicate easily.

It looks like a pretty standard forum site to me. What I did notice was the 'tag cloud' at the bottom and also the photos / icons for the staff at the bottom. Those were very cool differences that I noticed pretty quickly.

For now your site looks pretty 'standard'. Maybe fix it up with some color changes and graphics?
