Here's the thing, kids. Serge is absolutely correct on all accounts. Free hosting means ads everywhere, and limited features. You're also completely reliant upon your host to install the latest software. You want ad-ons/mods? Forget about it!

Your forum is also really ugly. Having images scroll across the screen got old in the '90s, when the web was still in its "wild west" days. The color scheme is also not appealing on the eyes. If you want to know how to come up with a good color scheme, read this: http://www.colorsontheweb.com/combiningcolors.asp

Finally, you have too many categories. Having too many categories spreads discussion too thin. As stated by Serge, two categories would suffice, though if you want more, I would say your upper limit is 4. Don't exceed this until it is absolutely necessary.

We're not trying to be assholes; we're trying to help you kids succeed. To do so, you need to drop your ego and listen. If you don't take criticism, your forum will end up a miserable failure like Reier's.

Note: I'm only doing mine so that I can be in a community with my friends. I don't care about ads or anything, as long as I get to talk to people in a different way to here. Let's face it: with too many people, it's difficult to have a decent conversation without people butting in.

Why not just talk on Facebook, then? Why bother creating a forum if you don't want to maximize the potential?

Wel, I don't use facebook. Look, it's a forum I've made for my own reasons. I don't see how there is a problem there.

Then according to your opinion, MKB should spam these boards...
