Wanted: Domain Appraisal Please review OpenCity.co.uk

[woopwoop]

I'd be extremely grateful if everyone who reads this post could take a look at (http://www.OpenCity.co.uk) UK discussion forums.

It's another vBulletin based forum and is one of the most ambitious - taking on Craigslist and Gumtree (kinda - but still different offering all the vB benefits - profile, avatar, subscriptions etc).

Please take a look and I appreciate any feedback also.

At the moment the website has a free text service to members. It simply adds a short text advert at the end of your sent message. Check it out (you have to register to try this - but there is no cost)

A couple of nice features, which you can't see is the ad system, enabling me to change individual banners, alt text, title text, url for each and every banner very quickly and efficiently.

Also the site's free text service will eventually be funded by the advertisers who can somewhat target their adverts based on the sender's city (even though it will be the recipient who will read the advert - we figure that there will be many texts sent between friends within the same city - or who are from the same city)

I know I'm heavily pimping it, but would be great if I could hit the ground running as hard as possible with members across the UK posting in their relevant city forums.

Any thought's, ideas, criticisms appreciated.

Please feel free to post them here or on the OpenCity.co.uk official feedback thread here.

Appreciate any support (and please try out the free text service)
