I would just like to throw my Christian website out here, http://www.christianutopia.com/forums/

Fix the url that you posted by adding another w. I like the design of the website itself and the blue looks great. There are many topics on there that many people would enjoy posting on.

Thanks Function for pointing out that the URL was incorrect, I have edited Cole's post to fix that.

No problem. Cole, I would recommend allowing people to view the forum itself without having to be registered. In my opinion, if people like what they see, they're more inclined to join, correct?

I would agree with that! I dislike it when I can't view the content of forums without joining, it makes me feel forced to join, which usually translates into me not posting really much of anything... (if i join at all even)
