    Your Google Page Speed is 59 for Desktops and 55 for mobiles. Both in Red. You should try improving those before you think about the footer.

    Your website footer is fine. Just remove the horizontal ad banners on your website home page. There are too many horizontal ads and they make your website look unprofessional.

      I didn't check google page speed insights for a long time, it got around 85 for desktop and 76 for mobile version, maybe I need to optimize images on it.

      You are right, maybe I need to decrease banners on the site to make it look better and more professional.

    in order to lots of sub topic you inserted in your page your speed is looking low but it's not bad for seo because it is requirement for your site. all things is good and banner also good so dont remove anything and keep it up.

    I think you don't need to change anything except hiding dome items on small screen sizes.

      I don't understand your meaning

      could you show a screenshot for what is "hiding dome items on small screen sizes"?

    I don't know why people have to make comments like remove banners because they look bad or or unprofessional. They don't know your site/biz and sure don't understanding it's about making money. And advice like that can actually keep people from making money, or more money. There are alot though.

    I think the site look good. Seems I've been there before. Think you've posted it before.

    I realize you have a ton of content and you want to have as much as you can on the main page, but boy is that main page busy. Once you look it over it's not as bad, but might be too much for new visitors? Not saying you need to change it, just something to think about. Course on the other hand, it does make it appear to be a busy site, not exactly a bad thing. Maybe more white space?

    But as mentioned, if your speed is low on google insights, that should be top priority. Well, you know that. Not just to help with getting G ranks, but for your visitors.

      You are right and I will keep this advice

      Also I don't decrease number of banners on site but I will limit them to look better and improve site's speed

      Yeah it was here but someone deleted it and I don't know the reason...but it's not a problem.

      I understand your meaning and I knew about this, I kept the most active forums on the top and only show them on homepage...Maybe I will decrease forum thumb height to make the homepage not too big like that.

      it will be improved soon but at this time, too many banners on the site thus it's not easy to optimize size and increase speed for it.
      Thanks for your great reviews!!

    Just descrease banners and use them more lower size on your server.

    Don't remove link just show it in a better manner. Make visibility of division, section in a better way. Organize banner in a good way like bottom-top marquee.

    Site and footer looks great, I suppose you should keep the footer.

    One big thing I noticed in using the forum, there are so many sub forums I did not know where there. It's almost like so many of them are hidden. Don't know what you could do about it, just something I noticed.

    I think your sites footer looks nice. But it looks quite better if you align your copyright text
    to center instead of align right.

    IMO, you should change your footer. It looks a bit like a whole new page itself. OK, I'm exaggerating. But yeah, you should revamp your website's footer. I'd also take these people's advice, remove some of the banners and links so that your site will load faster.

      I agree with DenniseTan, the OP can change to a new footer, even better than the current one, also optimize images on page so it will improve loading speed more.
