I'm patient, but I'm just wondering when this will be done. It's been more than 48 hours.

Thanks!

First Impressions & Appearance


When I first visit your forum I see a forum that isn't quite working. The image links are broken and the forums are black with pink and orange text which really clashes. The old theme you had at the original site was much better. I see a forum that seems reasonably active with inviting topics, however on several of the forums the topic name is showing up as ----. I don't know if it is meant to but it does put me off.

Site Layout


The layout of the site is pretty good. You have well divided sections with a good amount of content in each. In the Sports forum you may not need to have biking, racing, RC and hiking as individual categories as they hardly have any posts in them. I would suggest having categories that are a little wider, such as Outdoor sports, Indoor Sports, Ball sports. The new content bar at the side of the forum is a good way to pull new members, it would be nice to see the content flowing though.

Statistics and Activity


Considering your forum only has been open for a couple of months you have quite a few posts. I don't however see many of your members on regularly. I would like to see more activity on your site, posting contests may help you to get your members posting more, but in that case try to get them to avoid the "Other" forum. I find your stats quite impressive even though the activity seems to be lacking right now.

Staff Moderation


Your staff seem to be reasonably active for a forum of the size it is. You have 3 moderators and 3 administrators, which seems a little too much at this time. I don't see any spam when browsing the site, however when reading some of the threads I see a few things that should be discouraged by staff if you wish to keep promoting here on ForumPromotion. Encouraging breaking a games ToS isn't a good idea, .
I have seen several times your staff discussing issues and suggestions in a nearly argumentative way in the open forums, this isn't a good idea and can put members off.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism


The grammar on the site is very good. I didn't notice any mistakes which is very positive. The category descriptions are short, inviting and professionally written.
