Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I’d like to compliment you right from the start - for a ForuMotion forum, your forum manages not to look generic. I cannot tell you how many generic ForuMotion forums I’ve seen that look the same, and your skin is a pleasant surprise. Another good thing is your banner, it’s really nice looking. Your banner is really nice and fits your theme well.
Next, nothing was difficult to read or understand, which I really liked. Also your affiliate bar is very unintrusive which I really liked. The only minor thing I noticed is that your index’s read/unread images are not transparent, so on the key they appear out of place. Make those transparent and it would be pretty much perfect.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
You’ve got your site physically layed out well. All the forums are categorized correctly from what I see, and your affiliate bar is placed in a location that makes it not intrusive but still effective. Unfortunately, a problem that your forum is that your forum is about DA, yet a lot of your forums don’t even deal with DA. You have about as many off-topic boards as boards about DA, plus then you’ve got site-related boards. I’d keep the off-topic boards to a minimal if I were you. Other than that though, everything else was fine.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
You’re forum’s been open a little over a week. There’s no fair way for me to grade you in this area. You’re advertising on FP so it’s obvious you care about your forum’s activity. Next time you request a review this are should be able to be assessed more completely.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Yikes! You’ve got an admin, two global mods, and two regular mods. That’s a total of 5. You have 16 members, meaning roughly 1/3 of your members are staff! That’s way too much and extremely overkill for your forum. There is no way your forum needs 5 moderators, it’s too young to need that many. Many large forums don’t even have that. I would strongly suggest stop hiring for a while. The plus side is that your forum at least seems to be spam free.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Literally, every single forum has a spelling/grammar error, most of them are minor and a lot are lack of periods, but I’ll still go ahead and point them all out.
