Far too bland, the header is really contrived, and the "shiny" boxes look cheesy and unprofessional. I dislike the "your avatar here" feature, as I don't think the avatar is really important enough to be displayed there. The hexagons look atrocious and don't fit in with the rest of the theme. I like the "FAQ", "Members", and "Rules" buttons, though.

What Skyline and Templex said, plus those flash Hollywood light things at the very top really don't look nice.It needs more color, better spacing, and more sleek design (which is why I love the Soul City skin.) The gradients are also a bit generic.

It's so depressing. For a grey theme to work, you still need to have other colours involved somewhere.

Hmmm. Yeah, it is flat and I'll buff it up with better colors.

I hate gray for website designs. It feels so boring.

What everyone else said plus MOAR COLOR.

It's too grey. Try using some free-license icons for the forums. They're everywhere, search Web Icons or Developers Icons on dA. The topic sections would do better in white or black, depending on what you're after.

Hmm. It 's nice... however I think it might be painful to code.

And yeah, perhaps a bit too grey. Maybe have blues or blacks for the topics or something.

Needs more blue and black.
Otherwise, I quite liked it. Just that it's bland.

After you add color, be sure to get rid of the rays of light, and change those pentagons into hexagons, or get rid of them entirely. They give me a headache.

burn the pentagons away, and make everything a tad more square, or use 45 degree stuff. make in N-ish, or metanet-ish, like m+r's site.
i dont like it too much yet, though it still looks mocky.

edit: hey, yay, im on :)

Don't worry, I'm working on a much better, not-bland, and organized theme.

I liked the top and the bottom, however the middle part with the threads and such need work.

I wonder how it would look if you turned all drak gray into black, and all light in medium-dark blue.

It looks good, but kinda boring. Add some more colors. Red maybe?
