Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
Your skin is very interesting. It's different, and nothing like a default skin which is really good. I like the green colors, they go together quite well. I also like your header with the login box. It's very nice looking. One thing I can't stand is gray-on-gray text. All your posts have dark-gray text above a light-gray background. At least make the text a solid black or something. While your skin is a bit too boxy for my tastes, your buttons look very good. They have a cool embossed look to them.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Let's get the bad out of the way first. First off, that square ad at the top of every page is very distracting. It's irritating and intimidating. Second, your skin isn't fluid. I use high-resolution monitors, so fluid skins are a must. Third, once you get to the bottom of a topic, geez, there are just TONS of boxes. There has got to be a way to shorten or better present those options. Moving onto the positive side, I really like the layout and formatting of your forum's name and motto. They really look nice. Also, I like how you've organized your board's forums. They all are in correct categories and are appropriate for your board.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
If you've been open for only about a week or so, it's honestly too soon to tell. You've already got over 1,000 posts, which is very good for that amount of time. It will be more measurable on your next review, when your forum will have been open longer and better suited to be judged on statistics and activities.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
You only have 3 global staff members, which is appropriate for a forum of your size. You don't want to have a ton of staff on a small forum - it intimidates guests and just doesn't look professional. All your staff seem to be active and work on the site. Thankfully, your staff doesn't post TOO much. (Trust me, this can happen. Sometimes there will be a 1500-post forum where 1000 of the posts are by staff.) I think your staff team is fine. Keep it up.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Yikes. There are quite a few errors here. I'll point a few out to give you the idea.
"Seen anything on the TV you would like to discuss, you just watched a fantastic film or you purchases a CD you just have to share with the other members, then this is the place to do so" should be, "Seen anything on the TV you would like to discuss? Did you just watch a fantastic film, or purchases a CD you just have to share with the other members? Then this is the place to do so."
"Discuss any thing about technology , new inventions , about cars,weapons and new releases of the season ." should be, "Discuss any thing about technology, new inventions, cars,weapons, and new releases of the season ."
"Want some extra exposure in an easy way? This is the simplest way to advertise your forums/website. Just make a topic as much detailed as possible and we will get your forums promoted." should be, "Want some extra exposure in an easy way? This is the simplest way to advertise your forums/website. Just make a topic with as much detail as possible, and we will get your forums promoted."
You get the idea. Watch out for run-ons.
