Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I like your forum’s appearance. Everything on your forum looks very polished. From top to bottom, everything has a glossy and just overall visually appearing look. I did notice on the index page that collapsing the sidebar was very smooth, but expanding it, well, wasn’t. All of your icons on all of your pages were excellent and fit well with your forum. All of the modifications I saw you had installed seem to go in seamlessly. The only minor thing is that I think your rank images should have the same font as your mood images, or vice versa. The left sidebar on posts has three different fonts in total, and I think that’s a bit excessive. Finally, I noticed you have a custom favicon. I always like to see that.
(Note: I did see your arcade was totally screwed up, but I saw it said coming soon, so I won’t count off anything. I do suggest you take it off from public view until you have it installed, however.)

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Your layout was generally excellent. Nothing was too blocky. All your information was easily visible. Every placement made sense. I would consider that a very commendable job. There are only two things I can suggest. First, I hate fixed-width skins. I use a wide monitor. So, I see more background than forum. Second, I think the “In The News” section could be a subforum of the Debate Room forum. This would shorten your index, and let’s face it, most news stories are going to be a debate, and most controversial topics are in recent news. Of course, you could do it the other way, and have Debate Room go under In The News. Apart from those two things, all of your forums seemed to be appropriate and categorized correctly. Nice job.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
I don’t know how the heck you got 180,000 posts and nearly 800 members in just a couple of months. That is beyond excellent. All of your forums seemed filled with posts. A few members had 10K+ posts. There are a bunch of active members on your site. It’s extremely impressive. There’s absolutely nothing I can complain about in this category.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
This is similar to the above section. I can’t find anything I can really recommend. All of your staff seem active. All of them seem ready to help, and actively posting. They all seem active around the boards. I didn’t see any problem with spam or trolling on your board.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
While your spelling/grammar was overall very nice, I did notice some minor errors.
“Like to vote in random polls? Well this is the place for you. Its poll mania!” should be, “Like to vote in random polls? Well, this is the place for you. Its poll mania!”
“Share your photos with the community. Or show us graphics you made with the computer or other artwork you have created.” should be, “Share your photos with the community, show us graphics you made with the computer, or other artwork you have created.”
“Talk about anything related to sports from your favorite sports to your favorite teams.” should be, “Talk about anything related to sports, from your favorite sports, to your favorite teams.”
“For all who have a pet or are thinking about getting a pet?” This isn’t a question.
