First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
-I'm a little unsure about the look of the site. The theme is pretty good. It looks nice, but the forum icons are dull. They are simply circles with old/new inside. Those should be changed.
-The banner is pretty cool. It shows a variety of different kinds of games, appealing to most gamers out there. It doesn't really match the theme, but it is not a big deal.
-Only one color text. I would suggest having another color for topic titles or something like that. The text looks very dull with only one color.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
-One thing I do not like is the layout when viewing a specific forum. The top, where it shows the forum you are in looks like this. "gaming zone community/ gaming discussion / nintendo discussion" For one, this looks messy. Also, capitalize.
-The overall organization of the forum is pretty well done. The individual forums are in exactly the right order as I would have them. One thing I would consider changing is the order of the categories. I think the "Site Related" section would fit better in the middle, above "Off Topic".

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
-Open for ~50 days
-587 posts
-111 topics
-38 members
-I am a little surprised at these statistics. For a gaming forum, 11 posts per day is very low. After about two months, I would expect a number at least double or triple the current value. It doesn't seem like the forum is too active.
-None of the gaming forums have posts today. These are the main sections on the forum. If you do not have activity here, the forum is virtually dead.
-Try some post exchanges. TONS of people are gamers and would be more than happy to do some posts here, such as myself. Ask around. Activity needs a boost, pronto.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
-Just like the good ol' days. Logan and Fanta teaming up running the forum. I have nothing but good things to say here. I know the two of you are excellent staff members, and do nothing but good for the forum. Suggestions are taken into consideration, changes are made, and the overall opinion of the member is valued.
-This is purely an observation, and has no bearing on the score in this section. Maybe a 1 or 2 member "Game Reviewer" team would be a cool idea, just to get the Review section going. After that, members can get involved.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
-Reviews - "Reviews for any game for any platform belong here." Changed over to for.
-Support - "Is there a problem with the forum? Come here to see how to fix your problem, get your problem fixed, or leave feedback about our forum." Changed the description around for grammar purposes.
-The forum is very professional and has great grammar for the most part.

Total Score - 84 (Out of 100)
Final Remarks: The rebirth looks OK so far. The forum is great, but the lack of activity is a turn off.
