Your Quick Review



Pros:
- It appears you truly did work very hard setting the RPG up. You've put a lot of good info and dedication into it. That itself is very impressive. Plus, it's completely original. Very nice work. That work should turn out helping your forum quite a bit, I'm sure.

- Your skin is pretty nice. Sure, there are some things here and there, but for the most part it looks good. The orange looks good and while it looks pretty standard ZetaBoards, it has a certain nice look to it.

- You are not overstaffed. So many forums have tons of staff members that are really not needed. Thankfully, your forum was NOT that way. That's a good thing. Make sure to keep staff to a minimum.

- Your layout is good. You stay with mostly on-topic forums. You only have 4 off-topic ones, which by today's standard, is good. Make sure to try to avoid adding anymore though. For now though, you're perfect.

Cons:
- That chat seems REALLY out of place. First off, you're an RP, I don't see the major need for a chatbox. It takes up space and looks a bit tacky. I would eliminate it. You may think it will spike activity, but you'll find people will avoid posting just to use it.

- You could be doing better in terms of posts. I understand that most people are not going to have reached the higher levels by now, that's fine, but still. Even one or two of your off-topic forums are empty. Plus you only have a handful of members.

- I'm sorry, but your board descriptions hurt my head. You need to start using grammar in them. For example, "Here in the Game Mechanics Hall we talk on how the game play and rules work on the Haven Rp, if you got a suggestion or question on the rules your in the right spot. Also got a completely new idea so some area of the Haven Rp then please don't keep it a secret." should be, "Here in the Game Mechanics Hall we talk on how the game is played, and rules work on the Haven Rp. If you have got a suggestion or question on the rules you're in the right spot. Also got a completely new idea for some area of the Haven Rp? Then please don't keep it a secret."

Those really need to be fixed up. Badly. Because the board descriptions are hard to understand. I'll give you one more example. "Need a Storyboard Mod to help you do a solo campaign or help make your teams storyline, need some assistance with character ideas or making a few unique effects for your character. Then you’re in the right spot as our staff are happy to help you." should be, "Need a Storyboard Mod to help you do a solo campaign, or help make your team's storyline? Need some assistance with character ideas, or making a few unique effects for your character? Then you’re in the right spot, as our staff are happy to help you."




Final/General Thoughts: Your forum has potential, but has some flaws.

What was most liked about the website/forums: Skin, concept, layout.

What was disliked most about the website/forums: Chat, spelling.

Final Score : Score - 7 (Out of 10)
