Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
The one thing I look for when loading a forum with unique layouts. I saw your logo and absolutely loved it! It's fantastically unique and is extremely stylist. I was a little confused as to why there is a paintbrush in it though, due to the fact it's a writers forum.
The next part I noticed was the great flow your style has. I couldn't help but notice the category bars, they look great!
Overall, it's a very good impression. I love the theme but try and change the paintbrush in the logo to perhaps a pencil!

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The organisation of the forums is great. You have clear and concise categories, casual yet descriptive headings and some great descriptions and forum names.
It's always nice to see people using subforums well. I see many boards with thousands of parent forums but no subforums. So well done on that, that's a definite plus!
(Scored 20/20)
Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
6,000+ posts! That must have been quite an achievement.
Looking through your board I can see that all forums have posts in them, your members are active and it's generally clean!
One point I would make, is that on the "Today's Top Posters" section at the bottom, one of your members has more posts today than anybody on the staff. It's a=not a huge negative, you a slight lapse in an otherwise flawless situation!

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Looking around, I can't see any spam nor flaming between members!
There's not really anything more I can say here, so well done!

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
For a writing forum, I'm slightly disappointed to say there are a few errors around the index. For Example:
"Forum Competition" - This is missing the plural => "Forum Competitions"
"Writers Biography" - Missing the possessive apostrophy => "Writer's Biography"
"Writers Interview" - Missing the possessive apostrophy and plural => "Writer's Interviews
Also, you may want to change the forum title "Show off your artwork here" as your description practically says it!
Other than these, you have some great descriptions and forum names. It's quite easy to find your way around so great job there!

How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website? Update the forum titles, writing are known to be very picky. I like to join active communities, the top few boards on your forum are nearly empty, so try and fill them slightly!
