Date Opened: DestroyRepeat opened on March 31st, 2014, PSVitaForum opened on May 29th, 2011, but the oldest posts are from 2010 or earlier.
Review Type: Basic Review/Advanced Review - whatever time you have.
Extra Notes: This is a merge of more than 3 websites and forums. Keep that in mind when looking around.

Basically, I am looking for room to improve. I want this to be the most edgiest gaming forum out there. I am looking into a new skin. Similar to the old one attached below...

Or better.

What happened to Advanced Review, lol. Anyhow, my two picks are First Impressions, and Site Structure (if that is what I think it is...? Forum Structure...?) Basically, anything that can help me understand what I can do to make the site more appealing to new users. Number of posts and members are already covered since I acquired two sites and made a super forum.
 
I like the dark theme on the forum. I think you could do some good adding forum descriptions, though. I see that you have a description on the first forum but that's all. I also kind of feel like the circle in your logo is a bit too big. It's being cut off by the bar underneath it.

Hover over each description. That's the beauty of xenForo.

Ah, forgot about that. 😛 Sorry! 🙂

Basic Review of Destroy Repeat

First Impressions:
My first impression of the forum is alright. You seem to have a fair amount of activity on your forum, judging by the "Forum Statistics". However, upon closer inspection, I noticed that certain sections on your forum haven't been posted in for a while. You don't want guests to see this when they first look at your forum as they will take that as a sign that members are bored with the forum. If guests think that, then they will not want to join so it will make it harder to gain to members on your forum and you don't want that. There are a couple of things that I would suggest. You (and any staff on the forum) should contribute on a regular basis, especially in the areas of the forum that haven't been posted in in a while. Also, you can request a package from the Package Team here on Forum Promotion. However, the packagers here on FP are there to give your forum a boost from time to time, they aren't meant to be your only source of activity on your forum. Another thing you could try is you could head on over to the "exchange" area here on FP and do some exchanges with other individuals. You'd both benefit by doing the exchange and you'd get some more posts on your forum to also help boost activity on your forum. All of this will help create a good first impression with "guests" who may be viewing your forum, especially if they are viewing it for the first time.

Site Structure:
The way your forum is laid out seems pretty good. You have descriptions for each section on your forum, which is good. At first, I didn't see any descriptions but then I found them when I hovered over each section. You want descriptions for the different sections so that there isn't any confusion as to what should and shouldn't be posted in each section. Not finding what I'm looking for is something I absolutely can't, regardless if it's a forum or website or blog. I guess you could say it's one of my pet peeves. The only thing that has left me scratching my head when it comes to the way your forum is laid out is the "multiplayer gaming" has it's only section. If it were me, I would just combine that with the "Gaming Discussion" area.

Good



Thing you liked best about forum: Things are pretty easy to find on your forum.
Thing you liked least about forum: Don't let activity become stagnant on your forum.

I think you have a good forum but in order to make the forum a really great one, you're going to have to put a little work into it.​

I'd like to address this. One of the most popular aspects of niche websites, such as a Call of Duty Forum is ...wait for it... Clans. Tournaments. Esports. These are the areas DestroyRepeat used to thrive on. And therefore, I'm going to play on them. Also, I intentionally left those forums alone for future merges.

EDIT: You can deduct my points now.
