The colours and images are a bit sore on the eyes. >< I'd say keep the design a little simpler? But then maybe that's just me.

Well yes having more people on the board would be great but just saying that will not do much in the lines of help. If you want more people to join the board you of course have to grab people’s attention. How do you do that? Advertising naturally helps but at the moment it looks like it’s too soon for something like that. I think that before any advertising for this board can be done we need at the very least a plot for the board. I am not sure if you guys are still looking for plot ideas or if (because of the “How it began” piece on the side of the board) or if you have a plot idea already. What I do see so far concerning the plot is way too vague in my opinion to understand what the sites plot is about. Just be looking at that I only know that what is going on is the world is in trouble. As for what is causing that trouble or who the ‘good people’ are trying to fight against I have no clue and that is a problem for people that are searching for a board to roleplay on. Most of those looking through board ads are looking for something specific that suits their tastes, what they want is a basic outline of what it’s about, what genre it is (i.e. fantasy, sci-fi, historical), the time frame, and what level of freedom or control they have on the story itself. If your advertisements don’t cover those basis well enough then they won’t bother to look.

So the naturally I think having a plot will help but then that leaves the question of just what kind of plot that you want? I see that you are asking the members what they want but for me personally I don’t think I can really make any suggestions on what I want personally cause my taste might be different from what others here might want. Ultimately this is your site so maybe giving some broad suggestions of what you guys might like to do and then asking for the members opinions on that would be good?
It might also be helpful to know that since this board is taking off from the previous site how much from the original plot from the old site would you like to bring from there? How much should be changed? That might be a good start; it could get some ideas going. Anything anyone would like to add there?

As for presentation it’s not too bad, I have been around a few places that were more flashier than this so I won’t say, and more to the line probably cannot say much on the lines of visuals but there is one little problem I have noticed. The spelling and grammar at times is a bit off. It’s not a really big deal when it comes to the actual roleplaying, people always learn and get better later on but when it’s noticeable on the site itself it can come off as saying that the board is amateurish and makes people less likely to join. It does not take much to fix something like that, all you need to do is either re-read what you typed or if you want to be really cheap type it up in word first and use spellcheck. It will improve things a little. That being said I am no expert, all this stuff is simply things I picked up on from my own searches when looking for new boards to join or just from previous sites that I have been to. I hope that this doesn’t sound like I am being too picky or mean, some people might read that the wrong way I don’t know but this is just my opinion so you can just choose to ignore what I say.

Other than that I don’t see too much that needs any improvements. You are doing a great job so far…

lol, spelling and grammar is Angelo's fault.
