Not really a niche that interests me as I don't watch Dragon Ball Z but I have to say I really like the logo/header. The theme looks great too but like other sites I would maybe get some unique forum status icons (new posts, locked etc.) that are related to Dragon Ball Z. Stats look great especially for the number of users you have.
I apologize for the wait. I'll be taking over this review and I should have it completed within the next three days.
Thanks for your patience! 🙂

When I first opened the page of your forum, it looked okay. I don’t really see anything that stands out that much. The forum loads quickly and there doesn't seem to be any lag which is great. I really don’t like the size of the logo on the default theme, though. It makes the page look very long and it just shouldn't be that big to begin with.

Poor
[note]========== BEGIN - Design Quality ==========[/note]
As I said above, the thing that really bugs me is the logo sizes. I looked through all of your themes that are available and the logo sizes on every single theme is extremely big. On other themes such as Dream Easter and Dystopia, the logo just looks misplaced. It is even worse on the Dystopia one because on my browser, it's taking over almost the whole right side of the header. I really think you should look into making the logos a little smaller and fixing them on the themes other than the default because if you don't like how the logo looks or it makes the page look funny, but you like the overall theme, it kind of forces you to use a theme you don't like. Another thing I wanted to mention was maybe getting custom forum icons. I don't think the ones you have now look that great on all themes. Have you considered getting something like a ball like you have as your favicon? I think that would look cool. You could also change the colors of the balls to match some colors on each theme. :cheer:

[note]========== BEGIN - Site Statistics ==========[/note]
I think your site statistics look good other than the amount of members you have. If your forum has been open for around a year now, you should have way more than 129 members. Most of your members are posting, though, so that's great. While the post count looks good, I personally think you should have more than that as well. I also noticed your forum has gotten over 600 posts yesterday? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) That is great for one day to be honest. I am on a few active forums and some don't even get that many posts that day.

Good
[note]========== BEGIN - Originality ==========[/note]
What I really want to point out is your niche. I am very glad you chose a niche that isn't very common like a general discussion board or a promotion forum. The niche you chose I haven't seen being used a lot. I think it's great you're trying to target a specific group of people. I know there are a lot of DB fans, so you're bringing in the right kinds of people. 🙂

Excellent
[note]========== BEGIN - Site Structure ==========[/note]
The overall layout of the forum is good. I just don't like the forum descriptions. They should really be longer and they should draw someone into the forum it's describing. For example, in the Forum Games section, the description is "These are supposedly fun... right?" that doesn't really make me want to play any forum game. Maybe you could change it to something along the lines of "If you think forum games are fun, come play them here!" and you could do the same for the others. 😀

Good
[note]========== BEGIN - Spelling & Professionalism ==========[/note]
Looking at some of the posts on the board, there doesn't seem to be many grammatical mistakes. I do, however, think some things on the forum are a little bit rude. I noticed on the registration page, you have to agree to something that says "Don’t be a moron". I personally think that is very rude and it makes the staff and the site look unprofessional. Assuming people are morons upon registration is something that could make someone decide that they don't want to join your forum for one tiny thing.. I really hope you remove that to make yourselves look a little more professional and friendly.

Poor
Final Remarks
I think your forum Is doing really great content wise, but I really do hope you take my advice. 🙂 I wish you lots of luck in the future. I know your site is going to continue to grow and be even better than it is now. 😀
Biggest like about the website?: The simple designs and how active the forum is.
Biggest dislike about the website?: The logo sizes
What could I do to make you (the Reviewer) join my website?: Make it seem more friendly when you register. The "Don't be a moron" you have to agree to when you register is a bit rude. 😉
