I like the general color scheme and logo, however the site needs something to lighten it up a bit. Maybe a tad of color?

I agree - I would also like to see a larger variety of topics - something other than just different programs. Maybe something about design theory, techniques, crits, and things like that. Do you really need all those separate forums for each 3D program? Or are you really trying to attract 3D artists?

All the 3D categories are to attract the different 3D users. As it will be better, when we get a user base, to have it organized and simple. This Idea on design theory and techniques interest me, could you explain further?

For the theory and technique thing, I think you might be more likely to attract a wider and more regular audience if you could include some topics that will be of interest to people of all levels of interest in graphics. Something like what were-here has with typography, layout, color theory, psycology issues, things like that. Things that help to make you a better designer, not just learning how to use the programs. I just noticed, though, that the were-here forum on that topic is not too active... a critique/showcase section would be a good idea though.

You do not need to have many forums on all different programs until you grow more. Get rid of the ones that aren't as busy and once more posts about those programs start to show up than maybe open a new topic. Too many topics that have some posts but are basically empty will scare people away. Where as a few topics with new and lots of posts will attract them.

Visited... looks quite nice. Clean, precise, smooth, no real problems. It's basic, but works. Now you should work on promoting it some. Good luck!
