Needed to wait, as I didn't have 15 members yet..
Just started... did some work on it.. hopefully it's enough for a nice review

Name of Forum: Unoffical BrawnGP forum
Forum Link: http://brawngp-forum.co.uk
Date Forum Opened: 27/03/09
Account for reviewer (Optional):
Additional Notes: Just started.. getting there with the layout now..
 
First Impressions - (Out of 20)
Well on the whole the first impressions I get of your site are quite good. You have a domain and a nice banner. However I really don’t like the fact you have to scroll down so much to see all the forum; I would rather it was normal like this forum/most forums. Also a favicon would be a nice little addition. On the whole though, not bad.
(Scored 12/20)

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
I can’t say I have too many issues with your layout. There are two things I would suggest though and they are having a whole section dedicated to Brawn GP rather then it being a sub forum in F1 discussion as it is the focus of your forum. Also I think you should move your navigation menu from the left to the right. Other then that everything is well organised/laid out.

Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
You have been open about 2 weeks now and you have nearly 300 posts and 15 members. It doesn’t sound that impressive but I would envisage that your forum is difficult to get members for so it definitely isn’t bad. Submitting your sites to directories and using link referral IMO would be the best two methods of promotion for you to help your forum grow.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
I can’t really tell who is staff on your forum or not… except I know you are the admin. If you are the only staff member like I think you are then you maybe could do with a moderator but it isn’t necessary. Can’t really criticise you so you get full marks.

Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
On the whole your spelling and grammar is good, however in the forum descriptions you don’t use full stops (not necessarily a problem) also you have not used a capital A on And in the ‘Crashes and DNF’s section’. Other then that I have no problems so you get a relatively high mark.

Total Score - (71)

Final Remarks: On the whole quite a nice site which is pretty unique, I think if you persist and specifically target people interested in Brawn GP you will succeed.

What was most liked about the website/forums: I thought your staff moderation was impressive and also I liked the banner.

What was disliked most about the website/forums:
I didn’t really like having to scroll so much to view the whole forum and also I didn’t like the navigation bar being on the right.

How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?

(Final Score /100) I’m already a member because I am interested in F1.
