The site looks nice. I like the design, plain and simple. Just the Santa in the header seems not to have a place there.
The logo and the Icons from main Forum look very well.
You could work a little on the Topic icons, make them bit better.
Overall I'da rate ur site a 8.5/10
 
i was talking about these ones:
thread_new.gif
New posts
thread_hot_new.gif
Hot thread with new posts
thread.gif
No new posts
thread_hot.gif
Hot thread with no new posts
thread_lock.gif
Thread is closed
You could drop the square and use the the same shape as
forum_old.gif
 
Oh yea, I'll be working on that soon, but thats nothing major to be honest.

Anything else you think we should add? or change?

EDIT: I removed santa clause from the header and moved it down. ;)
 
Hello,

Where's the favicon? The default vb one is there! and also I tried looking in a few threads which were not in the guest section but I couldnt, It would be better off if you edit the permissions and hide the forums which guests cannot view, that way they can only see guest section and forums they can only access. ''Powered by vBulletin'' - You can remove that if you want, I mean when I had a forum I googled if I could take it off and vbulletin allows it. So put something else like Powered by WarezLobby or just remove it.

The lock on this does not look good, it could be better. If anyone is interested in putting their link in the affiliates box you should put your email there once they click as they won't know who to contact.

Hmm do you want your guest's to leave when they find their download? I see no ''Register Here to find even more downloads'' or ''This is limited downloads, to find more register!'' - You really need to put these in your guest downloads, I saw none of these.
 
I liked the SKin its simple & clean..
Also, it seems precised :)
It has all what a Forum needs :)

Well i was about to ask the same question but many webmasters use the legend with bold so staff to be easy seperated....
 
- i would lower the font a bit - verdana, 10 or 9 = more space = add more links = looks more busy = becomes more busy. = easy to scan through large amounts of info
- Add little links on the header, looks busier and professional. currently too simple
-change favicon
- just my opinion: but semantics are important. All warez site have "appilcations".... "Post 0day releases here" and such as category and descriptions. How about changing it up, making a unique description category?
- lessen the cellspacing = looks wider and busier
- lessen or lighten the borders and remove them where they don't need to be
- lighten the no new post icon in index - kinda hard to see which forums have new posts and which don't - make it obvious
-on thread listing - float the author to right, it distracts the user from the title, make it single line
- unify the logo text and logo
- make the forum, last post, views, and replies header a smaller font, no need to emphasize, what is the point? verdana 9px
- get a more interesting cat-bg gradient, its not "as gradiently" as i would put
- lower the fonts of the categories - especially the cellspacing
- with your theme, a SLIGHT blue hue to the grey would slick instead of the light grey backgrounds
- on index and (like the thread lisitings) - fix the width of last post, replies and posts column
- lol, that is most boring new image i have seen (http://www.warezlobby.org/images/wlmain/buttons/firstnew.gif) come on get a pack of famfam arrows and fix this
- your hot thread, regular thread and etc post icons are really dull go to fam fam and get those. http://www.famfamfam.com/
- on index your last post date is black and time is bright blue ... why? make them either dark or faded away. a distracton
- lessen the vertical spacing between forums on the main page... that right aligned lastpost > time and date is to blame. You need to either left align or right align the whole last post column and make it verdana 9px - they only way to make the spacing tighter


improvement ideas:
- whats your slogan? why are you different here are some ideas that no warez site i know of has done:
Warezlobby - The mirror network = have uploaders put massive mirror posts = get points, maybe a section/prefix for massive mirror threads?
- Rare gems - post rare material - make a rare caregory i.e - medicine, video tutorials, for lynda, etc... documentary section?
- Featured Content category on top for donators (if you get some) - to get high traffic to their links

Think outside the box :) don't ask me how to do this stuff, i am already tired from this :smug:

- Good:
- You have a server which will be able to sustain large amounts of visitors.
 
Thanks a lot man, I'll work slowly on implementing some new features into the site and also changing around some stuff.

What do you think of me replacing http://www.warezlobby.org/images/wlmain/buttons/firstnew.gif with http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr174/WarezLobby/arrow_right.png

I created some new gradients, tell me what you think :)
