Large Forum Review
First Impressions Your forum is quite impressive at a quick overview of the forum in a guests point of view. Right off the start, they can tell the forum is active and has a great appearance, including the banner. Seeing your forum has an arcade will also attract people to your forum. I've also noticed your forum has a message at the top that shows a guest your forum and provides a description for your forum instead of having a smaller description on your banner, which is very clever. Looking at every single aspect of the forum, I don't think there is a reason for a guest not to sign up, but this is only the first impressions, your forum seems capable of many things in the beginning. Great job, you really know how to get members to join your forum!

Appearance The appearance of your forum definitely qualifies as top-notch, you really know shading very well. Your theme is different, your theme is gold in a couple different shades! I also like your logo, it looks beautiful in my opinion. The text on your forum in my opinion is great because the font is great and the text is really easy to read and it is overall better on your guest and members' eyes. A couple of errors/downsides to your appearance is being introduced to this sort of thing. On the banner, the sidebar where all the buttons are is to the right instead of the left, and it might take a while for somebody else to get used to that. Another thing I would like to note is the fact that your theme has confusing icons that take a ton of time to get used to, they shouldn't be so complicated in my honest opinion. One other thing that I think is great about your theme, it's a very minor thing, but it is organized quite well, which is always good for a forum with a somewhat different appearance than other general discussion forums. In conclusion, you did a very nice job on the appearance.

Statistics and Activity Your activity is quite massive as well, only one year opened and you are already around 46.4k! That is awesome in my opinion, you don't see forums like this that have been opened as long as yours has with so many posts. I don't have any recommendations or further comments about this, so sorry if this part of the review is quite short.

Ratios Okay, you have 168 posts per member. That is great because it shows that almost every member you have has at least 150 or so posts, which means your members are extremely loyal. This is a good thing because first of all, guests are probably introduced by many experienced people on the forum, and second, if a guest ever checks the statistics of forums they view, and they check your average posts per member, they probably will. This is great on your activity and I don't see a reason why anyone would think this isn't 100% astonishing, I think it is quite amazing myself. Good job!

Content Seeing that your forum has the proper amount of content, my expectations are quite high. In your general discussion forum and news forum, it's always good to know that both of these sections, which is a major part of the general discussion community, is loading with tons of interesting information. You and your whole entire community have done a great job on making the proper amount of correct content for your forum. Although in other parts of the forum, like the Health & Lifestyle forum, and the Animal Planet forum could have some better information, so I recommend making brand new topics about more proper things like "How To Lose Weight" in the Health forum and more topics about one animal in general instead of the unusual topics you have that are off animals doing cute/silly things and stuff like that. Same goes for Literature and Creative Arts, but that part doesn't need any explaining, you just need to create more topics in there about stuff related to just the users' themselves stories instead of different art from different people and other people's stories and just books in general and stuff like that.

Navigation The navigation on your forum is funky, everything is different. Buttons and stuff are placed in different spots than usual forums do and like I said before, the icons are rather confusing and shouldn't be as complicated as they really are at this point. These things are probably not very welcoming for a new member. Other than that, the navigation is honestly the same for every other forum, except for the bottom, which just looks different in my point of view.
