This is my new large forum, lots of sections. Tell me what you think.

It's a standard template and you don't actually state what the purpose of the forum is apart from to "discuss everything". If you're serious you should have a statement and then let the forum grow organically; the Boards driven by the need to drill down as defined by your forum members' interests.

Or maybe you're just trying to get your website address picked up on another forum?

I can give you one suggestion...people aren't really big on Pop-ups and Adware when they are looking to obtain information on a forum.

Wow you have spent good money on a template and hosting at least to have a site that has absolutely no focus or intent except to show bothersome pop-ups. Most people who start their first sites don't have a handle on things for a long time. As a web developer it took me years to get the focus to make sites successful. I hope you do well with it, but I will be amazed if this site is successful in its present form.

I'd urge you to choose a topic for the forum and stick with it and get rid of the pop-ups and other ads for a good long time til you can at least build a following. Every site on the web needs a following or else it simply fails. Good luck with your venture.

I think there should be a rule about not posting sites for review with pop-ups. I closed the pop-ups and the site with reading anything...
