I don't know if I'll ever finish it because of the amount of work it's gonna take, but comment anyway.

i like the header a lot, cuz i liked that original sig you made.

the rest of it you can tell it's your first. good effort. you made the color scheme go together well.

looks kinda retro, yet very new-school, i like it but its very underdeveloped :: needs work

I like the header, but everything else is very simple. Try adding some detail like the skin we have right now.

The heading to me is the only good part, sorry.

I know its going to seem like a broken record but I love the header but the skin itself looks alot like a beginners work. The colour scheme is nice but its not very detailed. Good try though.

The banner's nice, but there definitely needs to be more to the "Register, Member, etc" part. I really like the simplicity of it, that's one of my things, simplicity.
GJ though especially for a first; I have yet to make one of these.

The heading is the good part but for your first it's pretty good.
You should add more detail into the threads, and the symbols for closed threads and things like that.

Have to go with what everyone else said....like the header a lot. The rest is alright, but its just your first so.
