First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
-I haven’t really given this a complete thought yet, but I wish I could give more than twenty points for this section. It’s just awesome!
-ABoxCafe has the most customized look of any forum I’ve seen. Every inch of the custom theme is perfect.
-I really like the sparkling usergroups. It gives users something to achieve and looks great.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
-I think the Animanga section fits better near the top, perhaps in front of or behind the general section. It appears to be a big part of the forum and I think it belongs up near the top.
-I don’t think the Downloads forum deservers its own tab. It’s just one forum and if I wouldn’t have been scrutinizing every inch of the forum, I wouldn’t have found it. Possible just send it to the general section.
-Other than those two nitpicky things, I think the forum has a very good layout. It seems like everything is in the right place.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
-Over 40,000 topics and 380,000 posts shows that this forum has been around and has done very well. Great stats!
-Most of the forums have posts within the last day. Still, many don’t have any posts for a few days. As great as the forum looks and as many topics as the forum has, this is a disappointment.
-It’s kind of disappointing to see the lack of activity lately. You could really use a boost. The forum has had huge success in the past and I think it could eclipse that with a boost of activity. Maybe try a contest or work on some new promotion campaigns.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
-This is one of the few forums I can live with that have lots of staff. It has a ton of posts and members so a large staff team is a good idea.
-The graphics team seems to be doing a perfect job, given the look of the forum. A+ to them.
-The Community Team is doing their jobs. I don’t see any spam whatsoever so the forum is clean.
-The admins are doing a great job. Members are kept informed and happy. You couldn’t do a better job.
-If there is one thing I can say, the staff should try to be more active. Activity start with staff members being active.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
-Change the description of News Around the World to “Discuss and report the latest stuff that’s happening around the world. Current affairs, world events, disasters, politics, etc.”
-You seem to be having issues with capitalization. Only the first letter of the first word in each sentence needs to be capitalized, plus proper nouns. You have a lot of errors to fix.
