So I've spent a good amount of time polishing everything, so what do you guys think of this new forum I just setup? Yay or Nay? I'm also looking for people to help with Moderating off the back.

Visit us at: www.packed . tk (Remove spaces. Wj doesn't like the . tk domain for some reason.)

Well not much to review there, default install of MyBB forum, no categories,posts or anything really at all to review
 
I was more looking for a rating of the themal elements of the site. More like design and such. there's not really anything going on right now.
 
Just tried to register... Activation link doesn't seem to work.
Code that I was give via email.

Code:
http://www.packed****/member.php?action=activate&uid=2&code=rZJs9zy7

This re-directs to:

Code:
http://www.packed****/member.php?action=activate&uid=2&google_seo=cJXE+++++++++&code=rZJs9zy7

Which in turn, generates this:

However, using the manual way, works fine. You might want to check that out.

Overall, it looks alright. Colours aren't bad. Quite easy on the eyes, I don't know if this is a standard MyBB template or not as I don't know much about MyBB.
 
Off the bat. The dot TK domain has to go. Get rid of it. You need to invest $9.99 into a real domain name here: http://namecheap.com

Upon registering I was allowed to create this username: MitchyBitchyWooHooHooHooHooWTF. You need to reduce the character limit to 16, 30 is ridiculous and can easily get out of hand with your members and will shift your templates around and make them look horrible if your not careful!

When going to enter a password I am prompted with this: Password requires an upper case letter, lower case letter and a number. I am not even required to have this complex of a password with my banking institution. Remove the extreme password conditions and make it easy - let people make their password whatever they want to (6 character or longer is fine, all lower case, no numbers, etc).

You have your username color as Blue which looks horrible on the dark background and hurts the eyes.

You need to change the entire template as it is very poor. Go to the graphics section here and find some free/cheap artwork to be designed for your site. These guys can do some pretty good stuff for you.

Your site title is "Packed" and that's it. Add more to it. Spice up your keywords. Add more content.

Go Moon, get working!

Good luck :).
 
Your memberlist is visible without registering. That shouldn't occur in systems. I would argue that memberlists are useless to most users.
