Guide to making this forum look better (and maybe more popular)

As of now what I'm seeing is pretty poor web design.

1. Do not ever use Comic Sans. It's ugly.

2. Don't ever use any graphics that are stretched, it's ugly.

3. Hide this part of the forum, put it to Moderator/Admins only.

I probably offended you with this post, ban me if you must.

shouldn't this be in sugestion box?

well 1st of all, I'm going with no forum experience at all. therefore i expected it to be poor to begin with.
then for graphics, i'm using a temp until sumone makes a actual banner from pics we'll take at our 1st meet.
fonts can easily be changed... plus it was part of the theme =P

and yeah what I'm trying to say is bare with it for now or dun, your choice.

I thought it's really nice right now.

edit: Yeah I really like it now, your banner is clean, maybe a title with 604life in there.

Huge huge huge improvement, a lot more professional.

I notice that the formatting buttons for posting are very sleek compared to the buttons for the rest of the forum. There are plenty of good-looking and free buttons to be found, but I don't specialize in something like that. I can tell you that it's out there, though.

oh there is, with money we can do alot``

heres what i can do if chris is interested in "money"
GOOGLE AD SENSE
places "text" ads and small ads at the bottom of the forum and u wont even notice it. u do need someone to HOST the forum for u on their own server and move everything over there

multi quote shouldn't be hard, but quick reply was the key.
