1st: Please make the image a little smaller, it is messing with the forum layout.
2nd: I think you should blend the image of yourself (or who ever that is) in a bit better. Also not liking that gap between the flat text on the right.
yeah i was thinking the same about the space on the right!
I also try to blend me in a little bit better, thanks for all the feedback
color- idk i kinda like it im debating ha
One suggestion - Since pic is coming out on top - this can be wastage of real estate on site. Remember you have very limited space on the screen and especially at home page you will not like to fill up half of your home page with Banner itself when you know that many visitors do not go further then home page if they do not find much there.
Looks old fashioned. The texture of the image or something makes me think of really old school design. Look at some modern graphic design for music to get a better idea: http://www.fkn0wned.com/, http://www.bridge9.com/home etc
Hope that helped. Just making some posts to ensure my account isn't suspended ... again.
