Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
First impressions are fantastic! I really like you banner which says 'welcome to the forum of tomorrow today'. The animation is a really nice asset to your forum and I have never seen one like it. I see you have added some ads on your froum since I last visited your forum, there not to revealing and dont really make a difference to my markings.
Scrolling down your forum everything is neat and organised. All the forums are in the correct gatagories and grammar and professionalism is top-notch. You stated in your post that people have not been as active as of recently, I have an alexa toolbar and it says that you have gone down 20% in the last 3 months. I think this could have something to do with the forums appearance. You have had your forum for a very long time and it isn't odd for members to drift from the forum. Your template has been the same for a long time. I think that getting a new template but keeping the banner and feel of your forum would be an amazing change for the forum, forum always need fresh and new changes added.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Your layout is very tidy and I see no issues with anything to do with your template of appearance. I really really like the way you have named your forums, especially this one: Alien Language...DECODED!! [NEW]. It sounds really exiting and will make your members eager to post to be able to access the forum
🙂.
I like your Slurm Can icons and it makes your forum look really good. This is being a bit picky but I would recommend making your banner clickable, it is a bit of a hassle clicking the Futurama Fan Forum link all of the time. It would just make navigating quicker and easier.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
Your current stats are: Threads: 8,656, Posts: 494,735, Members: 10,180. This is an amazing amount of posts, members and threads! You should be very proud of what you have done. as I said earlier your traffic has gone down 20% in the last 3 months according to Alexa. However, in the last month you have gained over 100% more traffic. That is really good and it seems like you are getting your forum on the right track.
*gets calculator out*. For every thread created on your forum you have around 57 replys :O For every member that joins they post an average of about 50 posts each. These are really great figures! I was discontent to find out that only 23 people had visited your forum in the last 24 hours. If I am being honest I expected alot more people to have been active over that amount of time.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
What can i say? Your staff are Fan-tastic. They are posting machines
😛 Seriously though, your staff are keepers and you should treasure them. They do an exellent job with FFF and moderate really well! They're all so jolly and nice to, even in some really horrible and bad situation that I can see in past posts.
I have never ever seen such a tightly knitted staff team ever and I am being serious. Even on the biggest forum in the world.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Grammar and professionalism is very good. Almost perfect exept from some admin and mods posts having some slight grammer issues but I dont really care about that. The forums style of writing is really good and actually very attractive to a newbie, I think your forums index page has so much information and humour that it makes it irresistible to not join
🙂
Futurama being a comedy show means that alot of your members and staff are funny. This comes out ALOT in posts and makes your forum really good. It's always to nice to have a laugh and a giggle on a forum.
