First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
The banner is cool. I like how it looks like there’s spots of paint around a couple of the letters. The background is good on the eye and I like how it isn’t all one color. I don’t really like the icons very much and I think those can be improved. They seem a little big and I think they could have more graphic work done on them as this is a graphics forum. I also personally don’t like how much blank space there is on the forum list on the main page. Either make it smaller, or add an image in to fill the space.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The layout is pretty good. It’s easy to find specific forums. Do you really need a link to the staff page as a redirect forum? I don’t think so when there is a link at the bottom of the page that you can click to see who the staff is. The forum post icons in the footer should be centered. What’s the difference between Videos and Movies? Is Videos referring to YouTube and things like that? If not, then you should combine the Videos and TV & Movies forums.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
You have 1,737 posts in 257 threads, which means that you average 60.22 posts per day and 8.91 threads per day. Each thread averages about 5.76 replies. You also have 58 members with an average of 29.95 posts per member and you are averaging getting 2.01 new members every day. Most of your forums are pretty active and have some posts within the last couple of days, but some of them haven’t been posted in, in about a week and a half. You have 5 members online right now not including me, that’s not bad, but it may also be a down time during the day.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
You have 2 administrators, 1 super moderator, and 1 moderator, which means that 1 out of every 14.5 members are staff. I don’t think you should get any more staff until you at least hit 100 members, but then I’d still consider waiting a little longer to get more staff. All of the staff seem to be pretty active and good staff, except for your other admin, she doesn’t seem to be on very much, and when she is on, she doesn’t really post. Besides her, all of your other staff are pretty good. Unless there is a circumstance that you’re keeping your other admin, I’d suggest demoting here since she doesn’t seem to do much from an outsiders perspective.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Your Site Feedback description currently says “Questions,Comments,Ideas go here!” It should say something like this “Questions, Comments, Ideas? Go here!” or “Questions, Comments, and Ideas go here!”. The word “something” is spelled wrong in the Request section. The TV & Movies sub-forum in Media should have spaces around the “&”.

How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
Fix those few things I suggested you to fix, and I may consider joining. Your forum seems like it would be a fun place to be apart of.
