I think we're looking for more specific suggestions.  "more attractive" and "improv[e] the GUI" are both rather vague. What don't you like about it now?  How would you make it better/easier?

What i meant is how the website looks. For example there are other forums that have a easier way to get into. They have a good design, and its easy to get started with an account and what the site offers with posts etc... Just a suggestion.

I mean easier for the user to use the website. Couse the first time i signed up, i didnt know exactly what things were. I needed to find it, took some time. Im maybe seem like a lazy person, but ive worked with user friendly projects for school homework system and websites.

I'm sure it's true... when somebody arrives here for the first time, maybe it isn't obvious what to do. And suggestions on how to improve that would always be considered. But like Fred said, specific suggestions would be more useful.

Now, the people working on the forum design obviously aren't newbies here. And you are (or were). So your point of view is important and you shouldn't have to work hard to get into the site. Could you give some examples, for example what you were looking for and couldn't find, and what things had confusing names, and so on? It's up to you what you say. And don't be afraid to voice your opinion, our developers are focused on bringing people to the site.
