About design layout: I don't know where to post this so im just going to post it here. I just have a few suggestions. First off, it is called gaming for consoles, yet there is one gaming board with sub boards. I think the sub boards should be main boards. And since it is gaming for consoles, that should be above the "general discussions" and "in the news" and stuff. The gaming boards should be high priority in the list orders. Because it doesn't seem to have much to do with gaming from someone who is just quickly looking around at forums to join unless they scroll down and click to see the sub boards.
And now another post. I'm leaving this forum. Sergiem joined my forum and posted that on proboards and asked if i'd join his. I thought i'd be nice so i joined. Then I find out he pm'ed my members asking them to join his forums, which is really a no-no when it comes to forums. You're not supposed to pm people to join your forums. It says so on proboards, and it considered a cheap and annoying tactic to try to get new members, and may also come off as desperate. He also pm'ed me asking me how i can more mebers to join his forums from mine.
I'm sorry but this forum is a mess. It is littered with bad administrator moves (not calling any other admins here out, I don't know you at all). I think a should look at this probaords support thread should be taken about admin decisions and how itaffects your forums:

Well I have got to say this forums is shit, firstly the layout is crap, that is if you are looking for mature people to join if not then so be it.
Seccond Like other people said the catergorys are a mess! You would really think this forum to ba an off-topic or something forum rather than a gaming forum!
Third, the theme doesen't match the subject which the forum is ment to be about! Which is gaming am I correct? You would think by looking at the theme it has something to do with pokeimon and nothing to do with games!
4th, the URL should really contain the forum name rather than the admins name, it makes it more profesional ya know?

That is all I have to say! -Matt
Similar to LilMermaidGirl's post, I fully agree, Matt. Although the forum's organized, it does lack "more gaming boards and sub-boards" which is indeed about Gaming. My suggestion is that it SHOULD change into a general forum rather than a gaming forum. I prefer general over gaming because you can discuss a lot of things rather than gaming with limited boards on Graphics/Coding, discussions, advertisements, and more. Very well said as usual and giving us the reason why the truth must stand out and that sergeim needs to do a better job at managing his OWN forum communities.
