One more thing...you deleted the phpBB copyright notice :?:

That's pretty un-cool.

Assuming that this is phpBB we are talking about, I would advise you to check out the GPL before you critisise any modifications:

It states that:
Quote:
Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to .....change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs

It then goes on:
Quote:
we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.

and so by telling him he is wrong for removing the notice, you yourselves are in violation of the licence. Crazy eh?

I don't really mind your color scheme altough it hurts my eyes if I look at it too long (perhaps you should use a lighter color blue.
I am also not a big fan of you logo's at the top of your pages.
Don't forget to set these meta tags to something more descriptive:
Quote:
<meta name="title" content="Your sites title" />
<meta name="author" content="Your name or your company name" />
<meta name="copyright" content="Add some copyright notice here" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Add, all, your, keywords, in, here" />
<meta name="description" lang="en" content="This is the description search engines show when listing your site." />

Aldough I doubt it will really help your SE ranking, at least it will look neat.

Cheers

I am viewing in firefox 0.9.

I dislike the logo on the left hand side of the screen, it looks too big and dominates the page. When I scroll this out of sight the page seems instantly easier to scan, allowing me to pick items out immediately.

The graphics are not great, edges seem a little blocky and have some white areas aroung them. (google one in particular). Rollovers on the menu bar take a while to activate, I don't know if this is particularlly because of firefox.

Seems interesting enough though.

Why do you have to fight? BTW I checked it out and please read http://www.ozzu.com/announcements-rules/ozzu-rules-and-regulations-t697.html for rules on sites that have cheats or hacks.

i am working on the logos right now, making them smaller and not as dominating like so many ppl have told me.

also, i installed 4 new themes, which was praised quite a bit.

the logos for every theme are totally diffrent, and each theme matches them logo perfectly. the PS2 theme is just the default, now its changeble when you register.

what do you guys think about the changes?

1) Your logo is good but not the best. I am not a pro in such things but you might want to reconsider the logo. At least colors.

2) I advised that to another site powered by phpBB. You might want to apply that too. Make your phpBB a static pages forum .html - there is a mod to apply available online http://www.able2know.com/forums/about15132.html

3) You might want to add directory to your site. This will help you improve PR and link popularity and traffic. Consider aeDirectory for that or check my forum for some other great directory scripts
