Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
Wow! Your banner and buttons at the top of the page are simply amazing. However, your header is very huge! Is there any way you can move everything below your navigation buttons and above where your categories and forums begin to a separate portal? It's very awkward to have to scroll down so far to view your forums. Other than the huge header, though, I love your theme! It suits your site very well, and it has a lot of eye appeal.
Getting away from aesthetics, you don't have any empty forums. Your statistics also look very impressive at a glance; you have had fifty-nine members connect within the past twenty-four hours! That's incredible!
Overall, my first impression of your site was very positive.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Your index is extremely long! It's not completely because of your layout, though; the header also contributes to the length of your index. The length of your index may make it slightly difficult for users to navigate your forum. Although the length of your index is justified for the most part, I can still see a few things you can do to condense it. Firstly, since the "Forum Rules, Staff Team, and Important Notices!" forum only has nine topics, I believe that it could be combined with the "Announcements within the Domain!" forum. Secondly, I think that having a category dedicated solely to the "Brawl Clan Announcements!" forum is a bit unnecessary. Since there is only one forum for the clan, I think that you could move it to the "Brawl! The Hype of the Game!" category. I also think that your "Brawl Domain Tournaments" category is unnecessary; I think those forums could be moved to "Let's Get Ready To Rumble!" Furthermore, I think that the "Domain's Oasis" category is redundant; I would move all of those forums to the "Take a Break from the BRAWL!" category (except for the "Domain Interrogations" forum; I would make this a sub-forum under "Challenger Approaching ... !"). These are just a few suggestions; if you can find any other ways to condense your index, I would definitely recommend it.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
According to my calculations, your forum is receiving an average of nearly one hundred and twenty-five posts per day, and you have seventy-five posts to each of your nine hundred and forty-five members. These statistics are fantastic, but don't get lazy now! You need to keep advertising through various means in order to keep your community strong. What you are doing really appears to be working, so keep on doing it. If you haven't already, I would recommend sending mass e-mails to all of your users to let them know that your site is still alive and strong. It's easy for members to forget about a site in over a year and a half. At this point, I would assume that your site is also advertising itself; members are most likely bringing their friends. Overall, though, your activity is fantastic. I hope that your forum continues to improve in this area.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Your forum currently employs one administrator and five moderators according to your announcement. All of these staff members appear to be very active on your forum. That's great! It's always comforting to members to know that active members are policing the community. Your moderators also appear to do a very good job of welcoming new members to the community. Overall, I think that your staff members are very commendable. I don't see any staffing issues whatsoever!

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Your descriptions are extremely well done. They really make your forums sound interesting, and they reflect the amount of effort you've put into your forum. Anybody who reads your descriptions is probably just as amazed as I am with how much effort you seem to have put into them. However, there are many grammatical errors in your descriptions. Just in the description of your top forum, I see seven capitalization errors and several errors in punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling. I would definitely recommend proofreading your forum's descriptions for errors to see if you can spot any. Remember that you only need to capitalize proper nouns in the middle of a sentence (e.g. "Brawl Domain, Brawl, Domain, et cetera). You also seem to have some sentence fragments in your descriptions (a prepositional phrase is not a complete sentence, for example). If you have any questions regarding grammar rules or just want me to help you correct your descriptions, feel free to drop me a PM (I'm a grammar nerd). I think that correcting the grammatical errors on your forum would definitely make it look more professional and attractive to prospective members.
