Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I actually sort of like your style. Green is near-impossible to pull off, and your forum does it quite well. Starting at the top, I really like how your logo “pops.” It doesn’t use a bunch of rainbow colors, but is very effective and visible. I also like your name. It’s very memorable. “Randumb” is new, and something people will remember. I, however, do not like how MyBB themes are like always the same. Your theme looks like every other MyBB theme out there, and so it would be better if the theme was more custom. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with the skin, it’s just a bit generic. Another thing I should suggest is getting a favicon.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
I love the fact your skin is fluid. People like me on larger monitors need for skins to be fluid. As for your forum layout, it’s pretty good. There’s nothing especially wrong with it, but I was thinking; maybe you could have a User Request forum where people could send in what they want to see in future from your videos. That would make people feel more involved. Other than that, your layout is pretty good. Having a forum for “This is the place to come for RPGs, Fan Fictions, and to discuss foods in sexual ways.” seems pretty out of place though on a forum for a video production site.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
You have about 3,000 posts in 5 months. I usually like to see a flow of 1,000posts/month, but you were fairly close, so it’s not bad. I do like though that a majority of your posts are from actual users, not all staff. Your posts are also spread across the board quite evenly, which is nice to see. As long as you can keep people interested, I think you’ll do fine.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
I find something interesting. In your rules, you clearly state it’s a 13+ forum, and not to use vulgar language. However, one of your ranks is “Pineapple F***er”. Yes, it may be starred out, but people obviously are not going to refer to it as such. Just saying. As far as your number of staff, you’re alright. You’re on the edge though. 5 global staff members is a bit much when you only have 3,000 or so posts. Oh well, most of your staff seem to be active and participating, so I’m not going to nit-pick.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
There were a few errors:
“This is like a place for one thread all about you! Coming, going, or just want to chat about life!” should be, “This is like a place for one thread all about you - coming, going, or just want to chat about life!”
“Post here if you need help for the site or want to share your opinions about the site!” should be, “Post here if you need help for the site, or want to share your opinions about the site!”
“Ask the Cast questions. They might not answer. Especially if they hate you.” should be, “Ask the Cast questions. They might not answer, especially if they hate you.”
Those are very minor though.
