Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
Ah, I like it when people use vB skins that look good, because sometimes vBulletin can look really ugly. Thankfully your forum looks very professional and nice. Your read/not read images were easily distinguished and easy to read. I really like your banner, too. Its font is really cool, and has an urban look which is what you're aiming for I can assume. Very nice job. However I do have one suggestion. Outside of the index, much of your forum's skin looks like the default vB skin. Having a completely different skin then the default makes forums feel unique to me. Maybe they have a few urban themed vB skins out there. Other than that though, nice job!

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The first thing I noticed is that your "Register!" message is very large. But guess what? It looks perfectly in place, is effective, and not annoying. So, in essence, perfect placement of that. Your categories are named appropriately. You only have a handful of forums. While it's true you don't want tons of forums, your forum looks a bit bare. For example, one popular suggestion on your board I noticed was a computer/technology forum. I think maybe another forum or two couldn't hurt. Overall though, good job.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
"Users active in the past 48 hours: 747 (16 members and 731 guests) " immediately impressed me. You have TONS of people visiting your site, even if they're not members. And the fact is, you're a month old, so this category is really hard to judge, but you're forum seems to be on a track to success.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
You seem to be the only administrator, and for a site of your age, that's perfect. You have some author/contributors which is fine. There's really not much to comment on in this section. As long as you don't go hire a bunch of staff members, you'll be fine.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Your registration message had perfect grammar and spelling. It was written professionally, and it did give you the urge to join. As far as your forum descriptions, one I noticed was, "Any suggestions that could help improve Tecca High, anything you might need help with, or general feedback for us can all put placed right here." It should be something like, "Any suggestions that could help improve Tecca High, anything you might need help with, or general feedback for us can all be placed right here." Put placed doesn't really make sense. That's minor though. I'm not sure, referring to a different one, how good it is to start a sentence with or. All your forum descriptions were written to match your forum's "feel", so no problems with professionalism. Overall, nothing too major, and everything I've mentioned will be a VERY easy fix.
