Gamenation Design/theme & layout

From a graphical and user perspective, this forum is great. The moment I hit the site, I knew what it was about. The theme matches the subject beautifully. Great job on the appearance. The look of the site is very pleasant and even though your theme is dark, you've managed to maintain good contrast which isn't always easy. Your design is good but I think you can improve in few areas. The color of "Super Moderators" can be changed in other color. It stand out but they can be a little hard on the eyes. You may want to look at color that is lighter. When I hover you forums, the hover color is very bright. I would suggest to change it into near color of your category forum background. Your forum buttons are standard and really don’t fit with your theme. You need something custom. Something games related controllers, systems, a joystick something that carries your theme. You may make a graphics request here on support forum if you want. Also your banner is rather plain it’s not bad but it doesn’t really show your theme besides the name. At first glance, i didn't notice that your images on banner are all about games(ps3). Consider adding a graphic into your banner and have something that shouts gaming right away. I think you can add a more gaming feel by making the (on, off, offlock) images more related to gaming, maybe use a controller or handheld/console to use instead of the current ones. But overall, nice job.
