Please let me realize how hard it is to make a theme for the forum that resembles the main page!

Luinbariel aka smart ass.

FYI: I have made a forum theme before, it was not that hard.

Fix the links on the gametracker website, the one to HLStats is borked.

The site looks awesome guys you did a great job. Srsly. And I agree forum should be themed too but I personally hate smf's themeing system I've grown Quite fond of mybb it's like a good open source alternative to both ipb and vbulletin combined. After getting use to it I found it quite a pleasures to deal with and yes it has server side includes like smf does. Either way great job guys

Note, if you set apart a little space for me to play I'll be happy to fiddle with import stuff if you wanna try mybboard caff. (I don't have my own web space anymore ) I'll talk to you when I can...I have limited time...but I can still do some fiddling...

As a suggestion in the "reviews" section, include a feed from UMLan, I'm sure IWG can help you out with that.
Throw the steam community page into an iframe within the theme. The HLX:CE can be done the same...it can work if you remove headers and footers too, or you can theme it as well.

IFrames are the tool of the Devil. Plus they are not valid under XHTML 1.0.

I would make one, but I rarely come here.

then implement it via an include. I've made iframe like things with css

Something I just noticed. Because the review names in the front page are taken directly from the topic name, if the person who made the review put their name in the title, it'll show up as "Eightball's Demoman Guide: Eightball"

You think it'd be a good idea to edit out authors names in any guides that make it to the guide board? The name will show up right next to the title on the front page anyways.

Would it be possible to create an automatic, dynamic section on the front page that scrapes the forums for thread(s) that have a lot of recent replies?
Call it "what's going on in the forums" or something like that?
"FREE HOT THREADS"

No, like general public content
guest goes to website, guest sees what's going on in the forums, guest decides to check out to forums

I think what Zane is describing is below the Latest Review & Guides, it would have a similar box showing the last 5 threads posted in
