First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
When viewing the website for the first time I was very impressed on the calming and
not overwhelming themes which everyone seems to be using now-a-days. However the uniqueness isn't really there as I would look into making it a bit different (style wise) maybe by adding your own spin off of the style. I really liked how many forum sections there is not too many which is very good specially when being a guest and seeing that there isn't a lot of sections to look into can cause confusion and frustration sometimes.
The domain itself is great, Short and somewhat to the point. Not easily forgettable which comes in handy when trying to be
remembered. When viewing for the first time I also began to notice that not many people come on in a
day which isn't bad but for the amount of time your forum has been on for I would think you would be a little bit more active than you are (users online wise).
The logo itself didn't really suit me, As it is much smaller than the given
header space. Which makes it feel like the site is not finished. But overall nice job on the forums
🙂.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The site layout has it pros and cons. I really enjoyed how little forums there is. However the actual layout lacks uniqueness you should look into making that skin a bit more modified to fit a more unique era. The logo like I said probably a thousands times by now
😛 is a bit off placement being as small as it is. I think by adding a nice wider logo would top somewhat the theme in a more creative way.
I noticed that you have a sorta announcement placed at the top of the forum saying..
A Note To Returning Members:
Please read this thread with details on how to access your old accounts.
I think that you should look into adding a css background to it to be better placed within the actual template. Doing this could make your announcement not as ignored. Even though I said it was very calming and not overwhelming I really do think you should look into suiting up the theme a bit more maybe to be a more eye-catcher.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
The overall statistics are very good, however you are lacking the "activity" bit. Not so much on if people log in just mainly about the daily part. As it seems during the day you aren't getting a whole lot of activity. However when people login they do post. As you stats show this. I would look into finding ways to keep your users engaged for a bit longer than they are.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
I wouldn't look into hiring anymore people for a bit or at least until you see more people on at once. Because you never want to have basically more staff on than members for any kind of website as it just makes guests think the site isn't very active.
It seems that you guys are doing a great job though keeping dashing to it's highest potential making sure the site is safe,secure and well overall fun to be around keep up the good work

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Very nice job keeping your spelling and using correct grammar on your site. Another part of the website I enjoyed was the professionalism that you "the admin" are giving to your users but then you can go into being cool with everyone and having a wonderful time. Now many admins can pull this off. Very nice job doing this
🙂.
