First Impressions - (Out of 20)
Overall, the first impressions I get of your site are excellent. You have a decent template and the banner is ok, albeit all the banner space isn’t really filled so the banner feels a little bit empty. The only other thing I think would make the first impressions better is a domain except the slightly empty banner. On the whole, I think the first impressions are excellent.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Well the portal is very well organised, I don’t have any issues there. Also all the forums are in the right place so I can’t criticise you there, in fact you have an excellent layout. Full marks!

Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
Well you have been open just over 1 ½ months and you have just under 1000 posts and 28 members. A positive point is that you have a good post to member ratio, other then that I think the statistics could do with improving. You are getting around 25 posts a day, if that. And to be perfectly honest, I can’t really see anything that makes your gaming site unique. Maybe add some contests to make your site stand out, and of course hopefully increase activity. Also use every promotion site and resource out there and basically advertise like crazy. Saying all this, you are getting some activity and quite a few forums have had posts in them today, so your site is definitely still alive.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Well I have to say, this area is brilliant. You have the right amount of staff in most areas though I don’t see why you need 2 moderators on top of 2 global moderators, that’s a bit of overstaffing. However almost all your staff are active and only a couple are inactive, 1 reviewer and 1 gfx designer. On the whole though to have such active staff is brilliant, however removing the inactive staff is something you need to do and you are overstaffing a bit. In fact I’d say about half of your members are staff, which just seems too much to be honest, though a lot of the staff are service staff and I completely understand the need for lots of them.

Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
I can’t say I have any real issues here. One thing I have found though is in the trailer description ‘’Trailers links from games’’ has a grammar mistake. It should be trailer links from games. Also the description for forum games seems wrong- Play word games with fellow members! Surely it should be forum games instead of word games? Also I had a look at one of your posts and to be honest, it doesn’t really make that much sense.
Divisionsix and Krazisier,
We currently got a review saying we got a crowded staff. So we need more members to choose more staff.
We will keep this applications on our briefcase and contact you guys if we need you
Don't lose your hopes
1) The first sentence in the second paragraph is grammatically incorrect.
2) The third paragraph- instead of ‘’We will keep this applications on our briefcase’’ surely it should be ‘’We will keep these applications in our briefcase’’
3) The last sentence doesn’t really make sense either- Should be something like ‘’Keep your hopes up’’
I’m sorry if this one post isn’t representative of your spelling and grammar, but judging by that you don’t really have very good spelling and grammar and it important that the admin has good spelling/grammar. Try and improve to make your forum look more professional. Other then that I don’t really have any problems, I don’t think it’s fair to judge spelling/grammar on mistakes by other people as you aren’t responsible for them.

Final Remarks:
On the whole I think your forum is quite good and if you add something to make it stand out it could really go places.
What was most liked about the website/forums:
I thought the layout was perfect and I also quite liked the template, and of course the forum icons are decent looking.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
I did think the disappointing statistics were the main weak point of your site, also the spelling/grammar wasn’t that great.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
Well I don’t really join gaming forums so I can’t say you could really do much to get me to join.
