Its ok at least its fresh, all tho a strange subject in hand or should one say irregular discussion topics lol

The first forum could use a smaller, less obtrusive design.
You have a lot of information there, especially the intro on the index but users have to scroll a lot there.

By the way - you poked a guest

The second one looks nicely done, I really like that design and the switching images at the top. Great idea!
Empty now of course, but I am sure that will change soon. Good luck with it

Thanks guys!

The first design has a lot of info in the header for guests only, plus the ads to encourage people to register. The into headerr disspaears for logged in members.

It's also for the search engines, and the strategy seems to be working, asthe site ranks very well on Google and other search engines.

The second forum is brand new, and I'm still playing with and tweaking it. I like the animated gif as well, but m trying to find better images to use, as those are not the greatest quality.
