Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20) On first appearance the forum is very plain and is something I've 100 times before, although the site logo was very clean and well designed, the other thing I noticed straight away was the new member name tag, i've not seen it before and was very unique. Overall though my first impression wasn't a good one due to not seeing anything new with the theme.

Site Layout - (Out of 20) The helpdesk and Information & Announcements could all be under one forum instead of separate forums, your introduction forum should be at the top of the page as well rather than near the bottom, because your bug report forum has no posts in it look at making it a subforum instead, other than those points the site layout was well thought about, I also like that you have already made use of the subforum feature., I like the quick menu buttons at the top of the screen it makes things look at lot smatter.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20) You been open just over a month and have a post count of 11.6 posts per day which isn't bad but could be improved look at getting some posting packages done and some post exchanges done to boost your post count, you user count is very good and you are averaging over 1 user a day that is good , try and keep them all active on your site by offering plenty of things to reply to etc.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20) I couldn't see the team page but from searching you boards I found you had 2 moderators and yourself as staff , this is fine for the size of your forum and all seem very active which is very good, nothing worse than having staff that are not online, from reading your forums I could see no major issues so that is good as well.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20) This was excellent from what I read I found no major spelling and grammar errors and all you users seem to be able to post ok, the only thing I noticed was a few post that didn't start with a capital letter but without editing every post there is not a lot you can do, so will not mark you down for that.

Final Remarks: I would look at eventually getting a custom theme done or a better free one as the current one let's you site down, the only thing to do really is improve your site activity by doing what I suggested above other than that you have started life pretty well and you have really worked hard at it, so well done and keep at it.
What was most liked about the website/forums: Site logo and the professionalism of the forums staff
What was disliked most about the website/forums: The sites theme was plain and has been used a hundred times before
