Coming from a well developed sports forum (prosportsdaily) I think College Confidential could use a lot of cleaning up as far as the forum itself goes.
It is not a very inviting or organized forum. Sure it has the sections laid out but thousands of other forums will tell you the last post and the thread title and by who. Or they will tell you how many users are viewing a certain forum.
I think CC could use a lot of help, not for content, but for layout and “style” I guess you would say.
