A few things, take off the bold, make your content area a different color - lighter than the background. And possibly make the background a bit more 'bluey'.

Also you have a few small table errors.

Someone told me that when my site loads it bounces off 3 uk servers, then 1 in germany then 3 in the states then back to the uk. I think everyone should stay away from hostzone.

I give it a 700/1000 rating. A little too plain, and the message board colour doesn't match the site's colour.

Comments:

- Design looks bumpy, awkward, and overall, not very appealing to the eyes. The whole site feels uncomfortable. I have more to say though. The nav bar looks very plain and the bars ("Navigation", "Latest Downloads", "Poll", "Affiliates") you are using for orginization of sections looks very strange against the rest of your website.

- No theme customization on the forums. Colors and images are default, and they definitely do not match the theme of the website.

- Never ever use a counter. It's useless and looks unprofessional. Speaking of unprofessional, that announcement at the top looks terrible!

- Hmm...no chat? If you don't have it, don't include it.

- The formatting of the text in the news section looks very strange. In the downloads page, all the text looks SQUISHED together. Same goes with the Staff page and the Contact Us page.

- On your entire website, you have many pages. However, on these pages, you often don't explain what it's for. I appreciate that you have succint titles, but don't ever underestimate the importance of an intro. For example, on the cheats page, just listing a bunch of random pairs may confuse some users. You need better organization overall.

Content: C- (73)
Layout: C+ (78)
Formatting: C- (73) - section refers to colors/images/text format
Technical: C (74)

Overall (not an average): 74%

OOOPS!
Sorry man. What I wrote wasn't about your site. I must have had several windows open and posted from the wrong one.
