First Impressions - (Out of 20)
Well I really dislike proboards, but I have to say that skin actually looks pretty nice! However you could do with a gaming related banner, would make the homepage even better. You could maybe do with a better favicon as well, I don’t dislike the current one but it’s not really got that much connection to gaming. Also not having a domain doesn’t make the site look in particularly professional and getting a domain would definitely give a better first impression. Also you can tell from the homepage that navigating the site will be easy, which is another huge positive! Your forum looks nice, especially for a proboards forum.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
To be honest I think the site is very well organised, all the forums you need are there and in the right place, you really couldn’t do much to improve your layout, you could possibly extend the lounge section a bit (put in a couple of sub forums or new forums) other then that, good work.

Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
Well you have 278 posts and 21 members. Posts started on March 15 however the forum didn’t officially open until the 21st march. Since being officially open though, every section has had at least one post in it, which shows a great deal of activity. As this is a new forum it is hard to say that much about activity, I don’t think at this stage you can do much to improve… continue to use every promotion resource out there and your activity levels will be maintained I’m sure.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Well you are one of two admins. Having a co-admin can be useful so I don’t consider you to be overstaffed. Maybe with 21 members you could start considering hiring a moderator, however I don’t think it’s a necessity so I am going to give you full marks again for this section.

Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
I don’t have a big issue with your spelling and grammar. However you have made one or two mistakes on the homepage
The lounge is a your place to sit back. Remove the a, it’s unnecessary. Also in the description for the feedback section you have spelt accepted wrong. Other then that no mistakes on the homepage. The posts though in general don’t really have that many mistakes, maybe the odd one but nothing significant and nothing that really matters.

Final Remarks:
Overall you have a very nice site and I have to say the site has a lot of potential, not much needs improving!
What was most liked about the website/forums:
The layout because a lot of people have mistakes with their layout but your layout is pretty much perfect.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
Not having a decent banner was disappointing and the only major downside of your otherwise excellent site.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
You couldn’t do anymore to get me to join, I do play some games but I wouldn’t join a gaming forum.
