Appearance (First Impressions): Ok, I go to the index page and I have one word to describe how it looks
fantastic . It has to be one of the most professional looking homepages I have ever seen (no exaggeration) and I would reallly want to join your site when I look at it. Absolutely perfect start.
Overall mark for Appearance 20/20
Layout: The layout of the homepage is absolutely fine, as is the layout of the forum. Again, you deserve full marks here, outstanding job!
Overall Score for Layout 20/20
Number Of Members: You've been open about 3 months and you have 119 members. That's over one member a day, so your not doing badly at all. However there is still room for improvement. Perhaps try doing some post exchanges and using all promotion resources available to you like topsites, directories, link referral, traffic digger, promotion sites and SEO and you should get more members as your site looks fantastic.
Overall Score for Number of Members 6/10
Number Of Posts (
Spam or Otherwise): You have 1988 posts. 20 posts a day is a little disappointing, I must say, and also it means you have a disappointing post to member ratio. The things I mentioned above to help grow your site is also applicable with posts, you will get more the more you promote. However the quality of the posts on AMF does seem good so you get more marks.
Overall Score for Number of Posts 6/10
Moderation: Unfortunately your moderator situation isn't great. It seems that you don't have any staff in the review team and also one of your package staff is inactive. Send them a PM (if you haven't already) regarding there lack of activity. Also to get reviewers maybe make your staff topic a global and put out ads in recruitment sections of promotion sites. However the majority of your staff seem reasonably active so overall your staff situation is reasonable.
Overall Score for Moderation 6/10
Activity: You are reasonably active and are getting quite a few posts on a daily basis. I have already said what to do in the number of members and posts sections to improve the activity. However you do have a reasonable flow of activity so it's not a huge issue.
Overall Score for Activity 10/20
Spelling and Grammar: The spelling and grammar of your forum seems fine and I have no problems with it.
Overall Score for Spelling And Grammar 10/10
Overall Mark (Out Of 100): 78/
100.
Additional Info: None
Suggestions for future additions: I would like to see a couple of MODs added; firstly the ''Who was here'' MOD and also this MOD
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 0&t=544839. Other then that nothing needs to be added in my opinion.
Best thing liked about the website/forums: The site looks fantastic so I have to say the apperance of it.
