The banner's sub title is staying the way it is. I don't see what the problem is with it. Who cares really? If you have ever been on an animating forum, it is usually a laid back commumity.




Please what if wrong with the banner? Ha read the first post... god lord.

I agree entirely, people should stop worrying about the domains and give forums who can't afford proper domains a chance.

But the problem is people won't. Like I've said before, people will look at the domain, see that it's being hosted for free somewhere and doesn't have a proper domain and will assume that it's going to be just another site that's not going to have anything good to offer.

I'm not saying that this is the case with your site, but you need to make a good first impression with a site and a free domain will put people right off.

I also think that, like other people have posted, the banner may also put people off a bit. I know you've said it's meant to be a layed back forum but it should still have at least look like it's been set up professionally.

At the moment, I think you are going to have a hard job finding someone to visit your website, and an even harder job making them stay. Like I've said, you need to make a good impression and having a free forum, free hosting, free domain and an unprofessional looking forum will put people off.

Good luck with it anyway though ;)

My opinion ^^ :D
