I made a web development forum using simplemachines. I want peoples thoughts on how it looked and how it can be improved.

It doesnt really have any members or posts because I just made it last night.

Anyways, whats your opinion?

Yup.. it's the base template for the forum - even down to the coloring. What exactly are you looking for an opinion on?

I want an opinion on how it can be made better.

I know it's pretty much base right now, but what appeals to the general public?

Well a new good style (not saying this one is bad, but default templates turn people away fast). I think what you're doing isn't a very good idea if you're trying to create something like DreamInCode. Why should people go to your forums instead of a larger one? There just really isn't anything for you to offer.

Thanks, and you're right, there really isn't anything for me to offer.

I'm working on changing the template, so that shouldn't be too bad soon.

But, I'm not really sure why anyone would go to my forum, do you have any idea that would make it better?

I'm sorry to ask that of you, but I don't have any ideas right now. I'm really sorry.
