Lose the donation button.

Recent Members block does not need to be centered.
As Nutz said - lose the donation button, the forum is too young for you to already be demanding people donate.

Also, "Sex Forum", is that really appropriate?

... Is this still a reptile forum???  :2funny:

But yes the donation button is a pretty big turn off. Until you get more members that is.

Also, a new style might help a little?

Advertise. Get the forum out there.
Read through these (and the comments/posts people have posted on them)
