Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance
Your forum design is very ‘out there’. It’s full of bright colours and it pops out – in a bad way. There is not central colour scheme on your forum, you’ve got black, blue, red and pink to name a few. There’s no contrast between them either. Since you’ve got a black background, maybe doing a dark style would be good. I think some grunge style effects would look good on your forum. And definitely tone down the colours.
The first thing I noticed was the Chat Box. In my opinion these are bad for any forum especially right up the top, which is the first thing you see. If you want to display it on the index move it to the footer, or better a new page. It’s also noticeable that you’re on a free forum host. All of these factors bring your forum down.

Site Layout
Going by the fact that I know nothing about Wrestling, your forums layout is good. You’ve got all the right boards up the top and so on. Your genre specific boards are in the large numbers, and take up the majority of your forums index page. Even more so when you see the pictures in the forum descriptions – I suggest taking those out as they really bring down your forum index.
I think you should also make better use of sub boards. For any forum you have a lot of boards, even one with your stats.

Statistics and Activity
949 190 posts is great for any forum. 50 000+ Threads and 6 300+ members are all great stats. Even after I’ve crunched the numbers! 150 Posts and 8 Threads per member are great, but what worries me is the difference between the posts and thread count per member. While I expect for there to be a difference, but not that large. Maybe try a Thread contest or something similar?
Each Board on your forum also has a good amount of posts and threads and seem to be active within the last 48 hours which is great to see. From what I can tell, your boards been around about 3 years next month. To have a forum of that age with that many posts is fantastic to see!

Staff Moderation
The first thing I noticed is that you have 9 Administrators. Even for a forum of your size that’s way to many. Furthermore, you have 17 other Moderators, totalling 26 Staff Members! That’s a very large number for a forum your size. I would expect that maybe 3 or 4 administrators and 5 or so Mods could handle it.
On a forum your size, it’s understandable to see some short, spammy posts. However, 340 000 posts in forum games is a little bit extreme. Maybe try closing that board for a short period of time to encourage conversation in the other boards. While browsing the rest of your forum, I noticed the odd ‘bad’ post which is good. Your Staff seem to be doing a pretty good job.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
The professionalism of your forum is quite low. Not meaning that in a bad way, but it’s what I would expect from a forum like yours.
- Change ‘Discuss Movies, Music, Tv Shows, and stay updated with your favorite Celebrities ‘ to ‘Discuss Movies, Music and TV Shows and stay updated with your favourite Celebrities.’
- Change ‘Sit Back, Relax, And Have A Good Time.’ to ‘Site Back, Relax and have a Good Time.’
- Change ‘Show off your new graphics and music videos. Also, compete in monthly competitions and try to win the weekly "Graphic of the Week" contest. ‘ to ‘Show off your new graphics and music videos. Also, compete in weekly competitions and try to win the weekly "Graphic of the Week" contest.’ Also, change the Board Title to ‘GFZ and MV Showcase.’
These were just a few mistakes I picked up. I suggest doing a good, through check of your forum for ore errors like these.
