Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I'm not a huge fan of the appearance of your site. I don't think that your site necessarily looks bad, but I also don't think that the look of your site fits the theme. I can see this theme working well for a "professional" web site such as a promotion forum or business forum, but I don't think that it suits your chat forum very well. I would recommend a template with some more color rather than the one you have now that is mostly white. Your banner at the top is also rather plain; I believe that a more unique banner may be helpful to your forum. Overall, I would say that you just need to spice it up a bit.
As far as activity goes, your site looks fairly good at a glance. I don't see any empty forums, and your statistics are fairly solid. If you hadn't asked for it to be omitted, I would have mentioned that you haven't had very many users visit in the past day. I'm not going to mark your review down for it, but just keep it in mind; prospective members definitely do look at that.
Overall, my first impression of your site was slighty positive, but it wasn't extraordinary.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Your layout doesn't run too terribly long, but it is organized a bit awkwardly. I think that you can fix this problem with a few easy changes, though. I believe that the "Admin Discussions" forum and perhaps even the "Graphic Discussions" forum may fit better in the "Promotion Area" category. Discussion between administrators, promoting your site, and talking about graphics for your site seem to go together pretty well to me. "Promotion Area" may not be the best name for the category though; you may wish to change it to something such as "Webmaster Area." If you make these changes, I think your layout will look a bit more balanced.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
According to my calculations, you receive approximately one hundred and seventy posts per day, and you have about thirty posts for each of your sixty-seven members. These statistics are great for a forum that has been open less than two weeks! Don't get lazy now, though; it could still go the other way. Be sure to keep up on your advertising; keep using services on Forum Promotion and abroad to get your forum out there. I would also recommend signing up on other general discussion forums to advertise (don't spam other forums, though). Post exchanges are also a great resource in the beginning to make your forum look more active to prospective members. Other than that, though, there isn't much I can say. Keep on doing what you're doing.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
If I can count, then your forum currently employs one administrator and one global moderator. That seems like a good amount of staff members to start with, I suppose, but be prepared to hire more if the need presents itself. You and your moderator both seem to be active posters on the forum; this makes the forum look like it is cared for well. Your staff members appear to do a pretty good job of welcoming new users to the forum as well; I don't see any bare topics in the introduction forum. Overall, I think your staff is working well so far; I wouldn't recommend making any changes unless the need presents itself.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
I don't see many grammar mistakes in your descriptions, but your descriptions really don't make your forum sound very interesting. I would recommend rewriting your descriptions and making them sound like you put more effort into them. The bland descriptions you have now aren't doing your forum much service. Your descriptions should tell prospective members what your forum is all about; the descriptions you have now make your forum seem boring. Make it sound interesting!
