I looked at it in Firefox and it looked unfinished to me. I can see why a human glancing at the site might say it's just a template that's not filled in.

For instance, when I looked at it, the menus on the top left said:
- teaser 1
- teaser 2

In fact, I think those are real topics from your rss feed and discussions. But, at first glance, it looks like a template menu item that has not been filled in yet.

Also, all that white in the template isn't giving it a finished look.

BTW - I like the site. I'm not criticizing it at all. I'm just trying to brainstorm on why someone at google might have said no.

Thanx for your comments

Btw when we last applied for Adsense around two weeks ago there weren't any teasers on the site

In FF 3, there are bullets for the online users' names, and these are aligned to the left of the page, but the names are in the centre.
The .gif image for the star rating is a bit dodgy and the hover-over image could do with being redrawn for a blue background (or take the blue background off).
There is a purple line down the left hand side of your header image, is it meant to be there?
Actually, having just refreshed your page it seems that the header graphic changes each time - any reason for this feature?
In FF 3 the hover over the 4 images in the middle of your homepage doesn't really work as it creates a small blue background area at the bottom, rather than the full border I guess you intended.
What's your favicon, is it meant to be a logo, because I didn't see that logo anywhere else on the site?
I hope this gives you some ideas as to how to improve it a little bit, apart from what I've said it looks fine. I don't know why the adsense wouldn't work though.
Best of luck,
Watters

the header is deliberately made to cycle among upon page loads.
As as the 4 images i the middle are concerned , we are currently working on that.

Maybe they (Google) have rejected it because our site is not more than 6 months old.......
