First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
-I am totally unimpressed with the appearance right off the bat. I
don't like the banner at all. It doesn't look good. It is pretty much
a random collage of colors with the forum name on it. Considering the
name of the forum, I was expecting something a little more awesome.
-What's with the background? It's looks weird and does not go with
the forum at all. The forum looks very bad on top of this background,
as they do not match at all.
-One thing I really liked was the setup of the individual forums. I
like that each forum has an interesting icon and description.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
-I like the layout of the forum. It seems to be organized very well
with all the important things coming first, and everything else coming
after. One thing I would suggest is moving the HELP forum to the
first section, since it is important.
-There seem to be a fair amount of general sections, but each section
has its own unique content so it is ok. The layout is very good.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
-4577 posts
-94 members
-By my calculations, the forum gets about 56 posts per day. This is
pretty good. The forum is active and doing very well so far.
-I also calculated the average posts per member which comes out to
about 50 posts per member. That is a very good number. Your members
are dedicated and keep coming back to post.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
-There are five administrators o the forum. This is way too many
people to run a small/medium size forum like this. There should be two
administrators here ideally, three at the max.
-I also see there are four moderators and one training to become a
moderator. Once again this is too much. I once again think two is the
perfect number of mods for this forum, three at the max.
-The forum has too much staff. It is not necessary to have so many
staff members. Many of them have low post counts, even as low as 14.
They should just be members.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
-One thing that is really bothering me here is capitalization. About
a quarter of all words are capitalized. Only capitalize proper nouns
and the first word in a sentence. I am not going to take the time to
paste all the errors in capitalization, but this needs to be fixed.
-I'm new section. Your needs to be changed to you're.
-In misc. Change to "Here's some stuff that is just for fun......."

Final Remarks: To me the forum
looks very sloppy. There is too much staff. I do not like the look of
the forum at all. However, activity is good. If you consider my
suggestions, I think you will do well.
