Thanks! The banner and some site graphics were done by a dutch graphic designer I knew, goes by the name Zemaphore on the forums. The ranks were recently done by Martox from librarium-online. I chose the theme and edited a few bits and bobs to make it nicer. I'm quite happy with the result. I don't know a lot about making stuff look good, so I was lucky to have a few people to call on, When I started this site, I really wanted it to look nice as I think the aesthetic side of a forum is quite important.
Yeah, cred for your site sammy the theme is pretty awesome and dont stress the eyes as it has cool and darktoned colors. + it is intuitive and easy to navigate. It is a nice layout indeed
