Hey we just launched a sports discussion website.
Would you guys take a look and let me know what you think, thanks.

Sports-Discussion

[asphixiations]

Just looking for feedback on the forum skin. I appreciate any reviews

I like the design of the forum but why put the same text twice (meaning the Welcome to... part)

In my opinion, this is a no-frills - no gimmicks, pure and simple discussion board...That's a GREAT THING!

I'm on the fence with asking for sports images on the page...One side of me says, "No, it will distract the user from reading" while the other says "Sports images will enhance the reading experience."

Either way, it's a fine use of space and highly readable.

Do you think some faint sports related images would make this page better or worse? I'm kind of curious.

Ya thats a good idea, im thinking some faint sports images would be a nice addition.
Not to flashy but maybe in the sides or header section so you know your on a sports discussion site.

Ya I noticed that, I think it has to do with the custom skin. Ill try to remove it.

The design is simple, and I like simple skins. I am also on the fence regarding images, but the problem I see is the scope..... it is just too broad. Even picking the right imagery is a problem when you are trying to cover everything.

Creating an active community will be a problem with so many sports.

My first look is this is simple forum maybe for some company but not for sports fun.
There is no any sport sign and the color is to dark for background.
Logo is clear but "discussion" go over field.It must be smaller in logo.

Yes I know, were planning on adding sports pictures to fit each forum category. And are gana fix the header and make it nice.

I like the overall design. Adding pictures would distract a reader (maybe fade the images to make them not so bold).
