Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
-The forum theme is somewhat decent. I know finding a decent Zetaboards theme is nearly impossible, but it’s only a holiday theme. I hope you have a full time theme that is better.
-Snow is terribly demanding for many internet users. You will see a drop in activity and new members if you use snow on your forum.
-I don’t like that only three out of four corners in each category box are rounded. The top right corner looks stupid and really clashes. It’s a serious flaw in the theme.
(Scored 15/20)
Site Layout - (Out of 20)
-The whole right side of the theme looks bad. That includes the one non-rounded corner and the line coming off the same corner.
-The shoutbox is pointless. What’s the point of the forum itself if you have a shoutbox? Besides, I just wanted to get right to the statistics, and it got in the way.
-The forums themselves are lined up nicely and are in a good order. Good organization so far.
(Scored 16/20)
Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
-For being two weeks old, Affinity has great statistics. I couldn’t be much happier with the amount of posts. You’ve done a great job with promotion and you have a good member base.
-Every forum is active except the Brain Battles section. Impressive, but seeing as this is such an interesting section on the forum, it would be great if that was a big part of the site.
-You average a little less than two members per day. That’s not great, but it will improve with the impressive stats of the forum. Promote like your life depends on it.
(Scored 19/20)
Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
-The number of staff members is logical. Having two each of moderators and administrators is a perfect fit for the size and age of the forum.
-Everyone seems to be active and doing a great job as far as staff members go. That’s one of the big reasons that the forum is doing well. As long as your staff stays active, you’ll be in good shape.
-The two admins account for over half the forum’s post. That’s a little much. Encourage some member participation.
(Scored 19/20)
Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
-In the description of Grammar Analysis, remove the comma in the second sentence.
-The grammar at Affinity is great and the forum is very professional. Very nice work!
