Should I change my forum design to a new one?

I like this design but you need to get rid of those useless and annoying add-ons that manipulate the data. For example, you do not have all those users online, it's a fake user add-on you are using and it's not ideal. You can tell it's fake so is there any point?

They are real users and you can check they had more useful posts on the forum, even some members had hundreds of messages on their profiles. Maybe I create a long cache on that widget so that their login still be alive in a long time, I need to check this and make it better.

Thanks for liking this design but anyway I am going to change its design to a new template which can work better than current one, of course is on SEO aspects, which the current template didn't help more after I tried it for a long time.

Never hurts to look around and see what else is out there and maybe get an idea of your own?

My main issue with the design is that it feels like you're trying to disguise the fact that it's a forum, and it ends up feeling a bit disjointed.

It wouldn't be a bad start to make it feel less wordy and use some bigger icons/images to navigate. The colour scheme is fine, if a little boring..

I see the page is quite functional but it looks plain. I think you can change the design and get yourself a nice logo.

I feel the contents are little bit close or stacked and need some space.
