Just wanted to say, interesting choice for new forum software. Surprised you did not go with a more premium board such as vBulletin, or even Simple Machines forum.
Anyways, congrats on the new forum.
One suggestion I might put in, is it seems real cramped together. Very claustrophobic. Almost like things need more spacing (regarding the main index, forum listings - posts seem fine). Also the fixed width is great (I prefer it verse fluid), however it's way to small. At high resolutions, there's an insanely large amount of white space. Just a few things I noticed when first viewing it. When on the main forum index, my eyes seem to have a hard time concentrating on what to look at / read, which is why I brought it up.

Hey, thanks for the feedback.
We like this forum software better than vBulletin at least for now, because it integrates better with Wordpress.
Eventually as we move away from Wordpress (a change that is possibly coming far down the line), we may switch to another forum software if this one doesn't end up working out. -
Yeah no doubt. I've integrated it in the past within Wordpress, and it was a pain. Wasn't sure if you were using WP, however I understand now. doh. Well it does look 100% better cosmetically. Looks like someone either changed how the categories and threads are shown on the index, or maybe it was just that no threads were made.
Anyways much better. -

Never been on Vannila forum before.This forum is awesome. -
it's a bit cleaner than the last time i was here. good job on that. although I do believe there are a lot more features you can add with a vanilla forum. Stats for one would be cool. gamers love stats. I'd also like to have some more info about the users under their pic. maybe a signature.
