- Start date
Number Of Members: Well, let me clarify that this forum has been open for around 10 months or so, and you have done fairly well advertising your forum. You have a great amount of members that you have attracted, and guests that join your forum daily. Although you have a great amount of forums, I can see only a small minority of them posting an introduction of themselves. I suggest you try to get more members that will be at your forum more often. Such as the following:
- Contests that revolve around your forum
- Newsletters that remind your members of any new updates going on in your forum
Although thats not the case, that I am not talking about the activity, but its great that you have a large member count going on.
9/10
Number Of Active Members: I have remarked before that your activity is quite low, and this has to be improved. I have also suggested to use Newsletters as a way to remind your members of your forum. Such as adding updates on your MMORPG that you are secretly working on. Possibly some new contests that you can remind your members about. Also, try to update the content as much as possible for I can see some old posts in some forums, in order to have members post in more forums that have something of their interest. 6/10
Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): I have seen many forums that have old posts, some from the previous month. So try to update your forums everyday with new topics and replies to members posts. But overall you have accumulated a pretty large amount of posts, though I've seen some forums that manage to get a pretty high amount of posts. Updating content, will make guests know that your forum is booming with posts and activity which makes them want to join in on the fun that you guys are having there. 7/10
Appearance (First Impressions): My first impressions on the skin on your forum is really nice, I like the blue around the forum, because it is my favourite color. I think the logo is very nicely done, blending in with the forum with ease. Although the ads usually throw me off, because I don't like using ads and seeing them on the forum. Overall, I think the forum looks really nice, and this should pull more guests in to join your forum. 15/20
Layout: The organization going on in your forum is really clean, and I can see that forums are in their appropriate category. Down at the statistics, I am not very fond of the IBstore, which confuses me at times looking at it. You have a really enticing introduction for guests to read, and affiliates are put in a good place for a gaming forum. You have some nice attractions going on, such as an RPG and arcade. My suggestions are to remove your IBstore, or move it to the store itself. 13/20
Moderation: I am quite disappointed about the moderation because, you have far too many administrators on your forum. The moderators on your forum are inactive, because I haven't seen any on at all, even yesterday, before checking it out. You need to remind your moderators about your forum, and probably having to remove an administrator. You have to find some trustworthy staff, and probably having to remove your current administrators which is possibly the hardest thing to do. 6/10
Activity: I can see that you don't have many active members, but the members that are put a lot of time into your forum. Your admins as well put time in your forum staying active and trying to update some content. Though this needs to be improved with what I had explained before. 5/10
Spelling and Grammar I can see some small minor spelling and grammar mistakes along your introduction for guests and that can be fixed without a doubt. But overall, your forum has great descriptive English put on it, with fine grammar and spelling. Announcements seem to be really descriptive along with normal chat. Having great spelling and grammar will attract more traffic on your forum. Having bad spelling and grammar repels your guests away from your forum and possibly having minimal traffic. Though you do not have to worry about that currently and your forum is doing fine in the English Department. 8/10
Overall Mark (Out Of 100): 60/100
You have a lot to work on, activity wise, you have though of some unique content but you should try sending out newsletters making your forum look attentive. Try to attract different varieties of guests which will enjoy certain topics on your forum.
