This isn't a site that I created but I am an administrator on it. And I would like your opinion on it.

and please tell me if you think it needs anything.

here's the link sorry!!!

Quite plain actually, all I see there is a forum but with a chatbox in one of 'em and the site's text blends into the colours, which isn't good.

You should add more topics, make the chatbox a header or footer, and on the top it says "fileswrestling" and you should make it "FilesWrestling" to make it look more professional.

ok, is there anything else that i need to change about it?

Possibly a new theme or color. Whatever you call it. Its really, really plain. Its not too bad though. I have no experience with it, but I have heard it is a pain getting the forum set up, so good job.

thank you! it is really hard. but me and another admin are going to make a new forum and it's just going to be us running the show. the admin before me were the ones who screwed up the forum. I feel bad because now I can't get it up and running again.

I think in general the theme colors are fine, just change the background color of the whole page, outside the forums....to something a little lighter in color...

Also, yes the chatbox needs to be at the top or bottom of the forums, like on astahost, not in the middle....and it should span the entire width of the area it is going to ocupy.

And then, i take it you have to register to see the rest of the forums? How about some big notice about that when you aren't registered and/or logged in? Just to make it a little more clear. I didn't register, so I don't know for sure if that is the case, but I was assuming so.

Anyhow, that is all I really have for now.

well one of the other admin and I have decided that we were going to make our own site. so once we get that site up and running, I will post it on here so you guys can tell me what u think of it. ok???

It is OK but I dont think the cbox should be soo long try making it wider like the one astahost has. I also find it distracting that you put the cbox inside a subforum. You should put it in the head of the topic or at least in a subforum of a subforum (not on the front page). You might also think about placing a banner at the top. It looks better then just plain text. I looked around and couldnt find what your site was about. Now I didnt log in but I find it nice to know what a forum is about before joining it. You could make a topic in the rules subforum.
Just a few tips,
