Review By Ryan+B



Number Of Members: (3/10)
You currently have 305 members, which is very poor to say that in less than a month, your forum will be 1 year old. I recommend that you spend more time advertising your forum on lots of Promotion Forum’s, adding your forum to many directories or maybe joining a few vote sites and getting your members to vote daily. There is a long list of vote sites that you may wish to use here:-

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1892&start=0

Number Of Active Members: (3/10)
Out of your 305 members, only 12 have visited the forum today, which is very poor. You need to try and think of a way to get the members that haven’t visited your forum for months back on and posting. One thing that I find successful is sending out a mass email to all of your members. Give it a try!

Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): (8/10)
Your 305 members have made over 12,000 posts, which is a similar amount to what my 290+ members have made on my forum. You only have a few extra members that my forum, so I consider the number of posts that your forum has made to be good. Most of your posts have been in Forum Games, but that is the case on my forums. In addition, a good 10,000 of your 12,000ish have been widely spread in other areas. So well done it that aspect!

Appearance (First Impressions): (19/20)
The appearance of your forum is SUPERB! The logo is great and fits excellently with the template that you use. The NavBar that you use is probably the best one that I have ever seen. The new posts images are also brilliant, they fit in really well with the theme of your forum and it is really easy to tell the difference between sections on your forum with new posts and sections on your forum without new posts. A big well done to the designer of your template.

Layout: (16/20)
Your forum has a generally good layout. I recommend that your support category should go towards the top of your forum though, as it quite important for your members in case of any problems. One final thing to pick up on, I don’t really see the meaning of the ‘Jack Bauer Connect 4’ thing at the bottom of your forum. It doesn’t look right, the colour scheme is poor and it is just completely weird. All things in mind about your layout though, it is good.

Moderation: (10/10)
After a quick glance, I see no problems at all with the moderation of your forum.

Activity: (3/10)
As stated earlier, the activity level on your forum is poor considering the amount of time that your forum has been open.

Spelling and Grammar: (9/10)
Your staff generally use good Spelling and Grammar. I’ve seen a few posts made by your staff that are not in complete English; however, that isn’t really much to worry about.

Overall Mark (Out Of 100): (71/100)



[marquee]Thanks for getting a Review at Forum Promotion.[/marquee]

As it is the ‘Free Review’ week, you are not required to donate any cash to my account.

 
The activity issue: the forum is a 24 Forum (obviously 😀). Due to the writer's strike, 24 won't be coming back until January 2009. That's a break from May 2007 to January 2009, almost 2 years, which explains the inactivity of the forum. I'm hoping that activity will boost as soon as the season 7 prequel airs (in November '08), and even more when season 7 starts (in January '09).

Thank you very much 😀 I designed about 60% of the template.


Thanks for the review! 😀
