A fair note of warning: many users will not be willing to register to view your forum. If the site is something they may be interested in, they might consider, but it's hard to tell what a site is about if the whole thing is behind a login screen.
Can you provide a test account for us to look around? |

Looks good to me. The colors match your site decently. I've seen sites dedicated to stuff similar to yours, but can't recall any forums (though I haven't looked too hard). So you may be able to get a decent user base with some work.
Welcome to the forums.  |

| That all depends on your budget and the amount of time you have. I'd suggest searching for SEO tips both here and on Google. That will help drive users to your site through search engines. Besides that, the best way is to just start small and try to get good users and good content on your site. Most sites grow through word of mouth (or "word of email", if you will), so don't expect anything overnight. |

| I have it pretty close to yours, Shaggy. I haven't figured out where to change the background color for the table on the post.asp page. |
