So I have just joined this site. I have been on many avatar based creating sites and I just have to say...

That this thread layout is hideous. I am sorry to whoever made it but...it looks horrible.

1) The yellow block above my avatar saying how much money I made. Its not even softened and stands out with its harsh edges and the color does not compliment the teal AT ALL.

2) The gradient speech bubble. It isn't appealing at all. It looks so out of place-it should be scooted towards the avi and a little teal should show so it does not look like it is cut off. The gradient seems sloppy and out of place, and on the bottom those buttons that say "Trade" and all that stuff are an interesting design but they are just floating on the post itself. It would be much nicer if there was a bar or some design instead of just teal against stark white. It makes the pretty orbs showing you your trade button look ugly when they could be really nice.

3) The color. Its just teal...there isn't anything special about it. It is as if the person was lazy and just made a huge teal block and pasted it as the forum background. No design whatsoever-it could look much nicer. ALso BLACK against WHITE like this is so boring. (for the thread title in your post and such) with the gray gradient it sinks in and doesn't pop out and is bland. Ugh.

I have only played about ten minutes of this site and I have all that to say about it-which isn't good. I am not even a graphic designer-but I do have a friend who does and I know that she could design much better.

I do not mean to be mean and bash-but the first thing I said was "OMG THIS LAYOUT IS HIDEOUS"

If you want to draw people into this site and compare to other sites I think you should consider getting a more appealing layout. I know this place is pretty new and everything and everythings improving but I thought I would just post my opinion so people know.

Now I am ready for people to bash my brains in for saying this.
