After 3 months of being online the time has come to get a "WJunction Site Review".

The main reason's of the recent skin change was many sites copying our skin.

eg:

http://www.war3z-unlimit3d.com/
http://warezspark.org/

We are currently rated 4 stars at Katz and are growing very fast :happy:.

Thanks

Its a good site, but the buttons are huge, try making smaller ones :P o and enable verification of new members [emails].
 
@ norix:

Actually im not sure as i only discovered that site last night after i had applied the new skin.

@ imack:

will fix the buttons and add email verification soon :)
 
Very cool site, really, nice skin.

Only downsides are that there is no Twilight.ws link (lol!) and that maybe the forum has too much categories, I like things organized.
 
Ehh. I liked your old skin better. War3z Unlimit3d is claiming they made the skin from scratch even though it is identical to Green Fox :confused:

A little too many categories, some could be made into sub-forums, other then that it's Ok. Again, your old skin "suited you" better.
 
Maybe ... Just maybe doing something on your own and you could call your self a site owner ... but right now your just a Leech in every scene of the word.
 
Its the same skin as http://www.tswarez.org/forum/index.php
No idea which of you 2 got it first but yea whatever.

"It shows that you are unregistered. Please register with us by clicking Here " is annoying. Might be a good idea to get rid of it.
The banner is terrible, please change it.

That takes up half of what I see first when I visit the site. Its better you keep the annoying thing which follows you, but theres no point having both.

If you don't want people to use the same skin as yours, get a custom one rather than one which is publicly available. If the skin is publicly available, you cant moan at people for using the same one.

I would rate your site 2*.
 
I don't wanna be harsh here but your new skin without offense is way ugly just my opinion.

@ LiKePeas - UltimA made a big deal about having similar skins to WrzBoard, so AK decided to change it. I kinda didn't like the skin at start (which he has now) but now I'm use to it now :arghh:.

@ Saurav - I totally agree with you its either the banner or following bar, to have both is just too extra.
 
Ok thanks for all your feedback ill work on it and then once im done ill get the feedback re-opened. If you want to comment then get a mod to re-open the thread :P.

Site Review Closed.
 
To be honest I don't know why you are rated 4*. Your skin is HUGE (and not in the good way, the ugly way), the image icons are big, the bars are big.

the "It shows that you are unregistered. Please register with us by clicking Here" following it around is an absolute taboo for a good forum. Horrible user-experience. This is one less star all on itself. Even if you fix these two, I would still probably rate it 3*

Also you have way to many categories. your request zone is also horribly managed. Fitting all warez category requests into one board.

Take this as constructive criticism to get better :)
 
Update:

Im working on a new skin that doesnt have that annoying please reigster thing following you everywhere you go, its not complete but i do have some previews to show.

I will be updating these images as we work more on the skin.
 
Fast improvements, but the
Forum Contains New Posts (
forum_new.gif
)
and
Forum is Closed for Posting (
forum_new_lock.gif
) Are the same!

The logo maybe good in the middle?

I like the fav icon!
 
The favicon will be fixed soon so its 'WB' when i find out how, as im not a good gfx maker and this is the first time i have ever made such good work. Also ill get the forum closed from posting icon made soon when i find out how to put a lock.
 
numer 1 Hosted on shared hosting thats a big nono for warez sites number2 im guessing you didnt null that yourself becuz its got alot of backdoors your security is complete lax number3 theres alot of posts and members but noone is ever active and you took off the part that shows you how many active users your board actually has but i do love the skin its great i give your board a 4 (p.s get off shared hosting!)
 
I actually am on my own dedicated server for starters and i have a valid vbulletin license & i will increase my server security as i have just found someone that ill be paying to do that.

Have you checked the site thoroughly? Doesn't look like it. The active members under what's going on? has been there before and has been now.
:arghh:
