    Thanks man. And yeah I thought about it, but the skin fits so well with the sort of community I'm trying to create. A fun unique market forum, while keeping it professional and modern.

    I see that theme overused way too much. But nice forums, and you should fill in the empty forums. Good luck :)

    I don't care too much if themes are overused, as long as they look nice. However, perhaps consider making a few edits, just to separate yourself from the rest of the crowd using that theme.

    Anyway, good luck with your forum. Are you able to sell real life stuff (like Ebay), or just digital things?

    I've took the comments on board and added another theme to the site. It's clean, professional and pleasant to look at. Either today, or tomorrow I'll be adding the Ficon mod (Allows forum icons for each section, see hackforums.net for an example) and the award mod. This will make it more exciting :D. I will be further editing that other theme though as it did fit the site well, I'll try and personalize it and change a few colours here and there. Thanks for the comments.

    As to the question above, you can sell anything, whether it's virtual or real life.

    You should really look into something like this:

    http://www.phpauction.net/

    One word of advice that I see in the Buy & Sell forums you have. You really should draft a disclaimer for those forums. If not your setting yourself up to be held liable in the event a transaction goes bad. Most people are honest but they are those that are not.

    I wouldn't want to invest in a product in this early stages, but thanks anyway! MyBB has its own market tool I think, I'll add that if I can find it. Yeah I agree, I can write a disclaimer easily enough but at the moment it's not massively needed. Once I see transactions shooting around I'll write a line in our TOS :)

    Thanks for the comment. Sign up? :D

    Nice new theme. Selling and Trading sounds like a good idea for a forum.

    Yeah add a gaming forum and you have pretty much cornered the market.

    This too but don't go to in depth on those things. You're still a market forum

    Thanks Blazing. Feel free to sign up and help me develop this project. I'll definately need help with developing the community.

    I will when we get a few more members, if you're interested in this site and would wish to have a gaming forum though then suggest it :D. I'm sure others will agree then I can add :D.

    Thanks for your replies.
