Forum Layout/Color: Some of the colors I understand, the tan-ish color. But yellow and black, all I can thin is bumble bee. Why not something that flows better, more colors that mix and blend well. The boards themselves bother me a lot. They're simple grammatical and punctuational errors, plus they lack descriptive and helpful descriptions. Why do half the job, either do it all at once or don't put anything down, lol. It can be fixed though, I've done it in the past and it does not take much time at all. o3o The mini profile seems cluttered, and most forums I know of have the avatar image above the karma, post count, gender and all. So it looks off to me. When you post a message, the preview message background isn't black in color, like it is when you actually post, which makes decorating or viewing a message .. sort of.. wrong in a sense? Idk, it bothers me. Also, I understand all of these ads keeps the forum / site / server running and up, but couldn't they at least be more neatly placed, in somewhere else in the site less noticeable? I know, that complaint doesn't make much sense, but it's a reason for why I only give a five. ;P Also, the news feed. I like it, but I didn't even know it existed for a while. Maybe make it more noticeable to people?
Code Problem: I noticed with the [ c e n t e r ] code, it doesn't work unless the center code is on the outside of all the other codes. I think there's a similar issue with the size being on the outside the color code? I've no idea why this is, but is it fixable? It's annoying. >>
Staff: I think you should make mini-mods, and those boards I've suggested before to you on MSN, like the debate board for general mature debates and other such things. Make those boards as well, but only/if after you clean up the other boards. Staff in general, it seems.. confusing. Maybe be more organized and straight forward with who is on the team in the Staff Team list, who does what, who moderates what, what is their area of specialty?
More organized help threads also. I noticed a lack of well laid out, helpful threads in noticeable places to new members. o3o And maybe at some point, someone go through and fix the horrible grammar in the "Documentations" of the site? And rename that to tutorials, because that's WHAT they are. They're not 'documentations'. Just call them tutorials, people may ACTUALLY look there more often. xD
Maybe to be nice (this isn't needed but it has always bothered me) make a list of people who helped make this game? After all, there are a few unnamed people who have markings in game. Credit should be given, m'thinks. o3o
Otherwise, it is a nice forum, with somewhat productive and helpful staff members and members alike.
