Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I love the color scheme & logo of your forum right of the bat. Skimming through the forum and a quick look at the forum stats, you've done an incredible job. I really love the custom forumicons, as well as the quick theme selecter. The forum style is an overused one but you have gone a great deal to customize to fit your forums.
(Scored 20/20)
Site Layout - (Out of 20)
You pretty much have everything in a successive order. On your forum menu, I think it should be "Forums" rather than "Home" as usually home represents a homepage or a link to a main website, which in your case does not exist. "Hello There, Guest!" on the login bar is kind of hard to read, perhaps you don't want to focus on that all that much but I think you should still change the color or font style. Again, as I said, your forum layout is pretty much perfect, you've got main site forums and later all the related forums to your forum - general discussion forum yet very explicit topics.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
I was very much impressed by your statistics, keeping in mind your opening date. Every forum has posts in the double digits and a great number of them in the 3's; quite frankly for a forum this new, it isn't all that easy to accomplish that. This makes the forum look so much more attractive and it's just a positive feature of the forum. Nearly two thousand posts with only 46 members is an amazing accomplishment. While doing the review, there weren't any members or guests (excluding me) online, this did upset me a bit, as the review was done during hours when most forums start gaining activity. I have visited your forums prior to this review and I have seen one or two members of which one of them was a staff member; for the amount of posts your have, you should be receiving a lot more activity and a lot more members present, otherwise it looks as if the posts were paid to be posted.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Currently the forum has three staff members, two of which are administrators and one moderator. For a forum this new and small, I completely agree with the number of staff you've got. Both admins have a great number of posts on the forum and the moderator is no less, I believe you haven't made a mistake choosing your admins or moderators.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
"... where it all happens. The news, the gossip. All that and more." This should be changed to "... where it all happens; the news, the gossip and more." Overall you've got good spelling and grammar but many of your sentences in the forum descriptions read a little awkward, for example "Side order of fries or salad? Keep fit and stay healthy. Currently on a diet? Why not share your progress with other members of the community" The whole paragraph there sounds odd, the sentences are way too short.
