Now is the time to speak your mind on the format of the board and where you think things should/shouldn't be placed.

It's good. Not great, but good. While the Orius Radio and news boxes are cool, if you add that to the rest of the content that you cannot control to the top of the page, the whole page seems stuffed with too much content. At least on my computer, the top of the page takes up most, if not all of my screen space.

Same here..perhaps I can set up paypal so that if anyone would like to donate to remove the ads for a year.

I think its only $5 and it gives an entire bar of space back to us.

Easy enough. I think we can all scroung up the change around our house that'll last us an entire year. If not... Then I should have enough. I work for tips. ;)

As for the layout, the blue green color isn't exactly soft on the eyes. The symbol of the future is pretty awesome, though. :) And another problem with the site is... If you click 'HOME', it takes to a different board. For me, it said, "COSMESS" at the top. :/ Looks like an example of what the board is supposed to look like if you apply it to your site. :P

Like Chillah said, the links are busted. lol Other than that, only things I don't like... there's way too much empty space on the sides of the actual forum window for my liking (though part of that may be my insanely high resolution), and I don't think there's enough of a color difference between the icons that represent "You've read all the threads in this sub-forum" and "There's shit you haven't read in here". Also, just being anal here, the color gradient behind the TekWare header doesn't mesh exactly with the bar behind it. lol Not an obvious error, and I wouldn't care if ya left it, but I figure I may as well say it while I'm allowed to be overly-analytical about the layout.

Yeeeaaahhh... not really fond of this layout colours. V. hard on the eyes.

Personally, I'd suggest lowering saturation and maybe tweaking brightness on the background. Modding the stark white to a less abrasive colour would also be a plus. Banner and borders can stay the same, as can aqua text. A bit of colour in the main body text, or in the grey around it might be nice.

The layout is difficult for me to judge because of the extremely distracting color. Sort of like Watchmen. I don't think it would be so bad if it were both darker and just the background, but it shows up while trying to post and is a tad irritating.

Not digging this new layout so much... too dark. /cough I like everything else about it, though, just not the color scheme.

It looks just like the RP board o-o

I think that we should maybe go back to the original layout. There was nothing wrong with it, was there?

Whoa. I couldn't even tell there were new posts until I actually squinted at my screen. But yeah. There wasn't anything wrong with what we had originally. If it's a change of pace you wanted, then just having new banners would've been enough. ;)
