Well for starters, improve your color scheme.  The dark blue text against dark red background on the headers is nearly impossible (and physically impossible for colorblind people) to read.  You need to provide more contrast between text and background to improve readability.  See http://www.snook.ca/technical/colour_co ... olour.html for a useful tool to help you determine color contrast values.

Well, actually, the font and the background  are from the remplate.

Wow!  No way!

Whether they are from the template or not has nothing to do with their readability; they still should be changed.
 
Also, always ask yourself this: what does my website offer that people can't easily get in other places?  Your forums seem to have general forums, RMXP forums, forums about your games, and forums about others' games.

  • General forums are everywhere.  No one really joins a site because of those, they're just extras for the members that visit primarily for other reasons.
  • RMXP forums are... well, they are everywhere too.  And unfortunately it's pretty difficult to get an RMXP forum off the ground since there are already several large ones that get the majority of the traffic.
  • Forums about your games are good.  But it's only going to draw in traffic if people have an interest in your game.  If this is your focus, you need to get your games out there more and pique people's interest, so if they want to know more they can visit your site.
  • Others' games... that's good, I guess, but something tells me if I want to visit a forum for a game (especially an RMXP game), I would go to the creator's site first, if not, I would go to one of those big RMXP sites I mentioned previously... so sites like yours would be third on the list as far as that goes.

So really it seems like the best thing you're offering at the moment is forums about your own games... but if people haven't heard of them they have no reason to join!  You need to get your game out there a bit more, and the best way to do that isn't really advertising in my opinion; if you make your game great, it will advertise itself.  So that's where I would start if I were you.
 
Okay in all seriousness it's against the rules to post an advertisement for just a forum. Any asshat can set up a forum. Because your skin looks original, though. I'm going to keep this open for a bit and I'm not going to jump on locking it.

Please tell me if you created the skin yourself, because if so then it's a decent loophole for you to keep this thread. If not then this shit doesn't belong here.

Also listen to cero.

My impression is that this is a template taken from somewhere else, and the OP isn't interested in comments about it, sooo... Locking it.
