Here's all I can think of.. - Better Gradients - Better Boards (it's like a gfx forum.. ) - A background (a repeated bar scheme I guess) - Maybe more effects to the banner (I'm not saying it's bad but you might be able to fit in some effects) - Diffrent cell-highlight color (maybe bright besides dark)

Well, if you don't want something too drastic (like switching to the old layout), I have some ideas, so hear me out.
- Better support from the staff. No offense intended Naruto, but I have seen in the past that people needed support, and it was only the type of thing the admin could do, or the members could say "wait for an administrator". Now that you don't seem as busy, and you seem more inclined to want to bring activity, think about this. Not to say others aren't to blame either, though. I'll try and help out more where I can.
- Somehow make the forum more involved towards other things besides computer graphics and coding languages, like SB said. There are way too many gray SSD look-a-likes trying to gain the popularity SSD has. I also see on DarkGamer that you seem to have graphics and codes at a higher ranking than game coverage when video games should be first, etc. Just how I see it.
- Contests. Contests usually have rewards, in which people want rewards for themselves. Why not give it a try? It doesn't have to be anything big.
- More advertising, and I guess you should take a more aggressive approach while advertising.
How's that?

Well I'm not part of the staff but I'll help people out anyway I can!
And there are too many gray boards as SO said. But it still looks nice.
And yes, like both of us are saying, it's turning into another gfx board which is the most common thing you see now days.
So in other words what were trying to say is, version one was better. No offence.

Also, you may want to put the message you put on the front page in white, Naruto, so it'll stand out more. Once again, just a thought.

Yea, those are good.
Yea, im sorry but I just dont like the colors here, and it is turning into a gfx board.
I think the old layout was alot better.

I know! Be more original with the layout. (Like everyone's said. ) There are way too many dark grey forums around.. maybe light grey and blue? I pretty much agree with all of the other ideas. XD

Custom titles for reaching post counts will raise activity, but bring too much spam.

Custom titles for reaching post counts will raise activity, but bring too much spam. How about a certian amout of Quality posts?Also, as ShadowEmod stated, make a new design abolishing the grey that's too alike from SSD and think of a new colour scheme that looks fresh
