Been thirty days...

Number of Members: 6.5/10 - considering the time you have been open 100 members isn't really that good although it would be quite hard to get members compared to other forums.
Number of Active Members: 9.5/100 - a few members haven't posted but you have loads of highly active members with quite a few posting over 1000...
Number of Posts (spam or otherwise): 10/10 - loads of posts and for the time you have been open and the number of members this is excellent.
Appearance (first impressions): 7/10 - quite a basic skin as it is a modified version of subsilver and the default skin isn't overly attractive and something that will attract peoples attention when viewing forums.
Layout: 6/10 - The forums at the bottom of the forum like the guestmap, countdown make it look abit untidy and seem abit unnecessary to me. The affiliates and topsites could be merged into one aswell. The mod forums is showing to registered members and it should be better for it to only show to the people who can post/read it. Also i think it is better to have the news and feedback sections at the top of the forum and quite alot of forums usually have their announcements as the first forum/category.
Moderation: 10/10 - I can't quite tell how many you have but your forum seem to b well moderated and the staff that i can see are VERY active.
Activity: 10/10 - Can't fault the forum activity wise at all... Very active well done.
Overall mark (out of 100): 80/100 - i think a few changes to the layout would make a difference.

I meant compared to a general chat forum or a promotion forum or something like that as your forum is aimed at a small proportion of people compared to a general off topic chat forum which will appeal to more people so it will be able to get more members.

As for the affiliates try this code
