Please visit my forum and give your feedback on it's progress and how to better it. I need to know what people think about it before I start inviting people

Customize it? Its the default phpbb theme and all are common topics. Make it looks better otherwise why would people come to your forum over another?

-Default theme

-Stats

 

0/10

As stated before, have a look at changing the skin and personalising your forum.

 

Another thing is to add a portal http://www.phpbb3portal.com/ - sort of home page leading into the forum

Thanks
