I just set up the forums on my new site and I want feedback to see if I did a good job setting them up. I am a little worried that I added a bit to many forums and it is kinda chaotic. That is why I want to see what everyone else thinks.

Wow man, the colour scheme you chose was a good one!! I like the site all-round.

You did a good job for with the forums, especially being vBulletin software (haven't seen many around with good skins).

Yeah, I think you have it just a little bit overcrowded for a site like that (the forums, I'm talking about). Take some off that don't need to be there (or merge some together) and maybe, when it gets more popular, you can add more on. :)

yea, just keep the forums u are going to be most popular there for the time being and make a forum for requesting new forums if that makes sense and just add the most popular requests... that way u want end up with a load of unused forums that will just make it look untidy :)

looks great tho with that aside!!

This is probably the best vBulletin theme I've ever seen. Most sites just keep it halfway default halfway themed. However, there seems to be a ton of forums. I'd remove some, then when you get some more members add a few here and there, but I don't think you need so many forums with so few members.

Your Forum looks to have to much to me and a lot of empty forums at that, start small and as your forum grows then add onto it.

Nice theme but members here are giving you feeback on it when it's a VB Styles skin http://www.vbstyles....vbulletin-skins

Ok I am going to trim the forums down and the copyright for that skin is right there on the bottom so if people actually read it then they would know who made the skin ;).

Empty forums, a skin you didn't create. Not much to comment on, eh?

The point of the topic was to see if other people thought that the forum layout was to crowded. You didn't answer the question there.

I think you should try making more general categories to put your forums in so that it's not so spaced out. But other than that it looks really good, beautiful layout!
