i think its a good idea, it looks good, it loads very fast and its useful. I'd just work maybe a little bit on the logo or the graphics but you're in good way!!

Yeah i know trying to make a new logo

I really like the idea. I'm curious, do you have an account on all of these forums for the site?

It kind of seems like something's missing. I don't know what, but it just seems a little too empty. I know white-space is one of the new "things", but it seems like a bit too much.

Also, the search bar and footer aren't centered properly on my screen. They both start at the same X and the search bar ends a little before the footer. Like this:

------ <~ search
-------- <~ footer

It's subtle but I think it would look better if it was centered.

Loads fast and simple for the job at hand.

I don't know if its me, or it's on purpose, but your logo has some really jagged edges on some parts of the text.

Nice search engine, try to move the footer into little more up to disable the vertical scroll bar.

I like the simple design however it is a little too 'Google' and a lot of websites now look too similar and the look is becoming tired. You should be braver and include more details/info/content in the empty white spaces. Although it says 'search forums' its not all too clear. Before this site I had never seen a forum search engine before. Try selling youself a little more with the space you have there.

Upon entering a word and hitting send, the results page is very nice, the thumbnails are too small to be useful but it looks appealing all the same.

Is there a way to filter the results or add more search criteria?

Overall a very nice and useful site and one i'd keep my eye on!

Great forums search engine.

I really like the clean-ness or "web 2.0-ness" of it. Its simple and easy to use, and the best part is, that its self-explanatory.

Good Luck!
