Small Forum Review
First Impressions
My first impression on hitting your landing/index page was WOW, this is different, it’s fresh, and it’s good, very good. I’m not a gamer by any means, but even I can appreciate a portal and index page that is this good, I would even go on to say that it rivals the official sites in the genre.
Appearance
The appearance is brilliant to say the least, a lot of thought, and design has gone into the whole layout, the portal just drew me in and I wanted to see more of what this style and theme could throw at me, I am genuinely well impressed, this is one of the best themes/styles I have seen in a long,long time.
The tabs are just well, the way they highlight different colours when selected, and the cheeky small login button is a real gem, I love it.
As this is a custom style I would as the designer if the category titles could be moved to where it says “Forums”, this would make the style even cleaner.
Ratios and Statistics
This is a brand new forum, and I suspect it’s a little pre-launch, if this proves as popular a forum as I think it will be, you soon need to be looking for moderators you can trust, and rely on, I would advise at least another 500 or so posts before going live, that may sound like a hard task, but I am sure there are a few gamers in the packaging team who would love to help out, and you could gain a member or two as well.
Content
Content at the moment is very poor, sorry I have to use that word but for the number of forums and categories you have, it needs considerably more than 500 posts to make people want to sign up, I can’t really judge on the quality of the content, but the majority seems to be in genre.
Final Remarks
It’s very obvious that a lot of hard work has gone into producing such a good theme, now that hard work has to be directed towards the actual content on the board, as I suggested you would benefit from some posting packages, the more the better, in the long run you will have a better forum for it.
Once again I love the theme, it looks so professional, the forum deserve to succeed on that alone.
