First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
From a first glance your forum looks ok, with a good theme and plenty of nice activity. If I was looking for a nice little site, I would defiantly have yours a good look over. And I must say with all do excitement I cant wait to have a good deep look into this site, as loads of the sections on this site really appeal to me.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Your site layout is not too bad with everything in the right section, with all sections and topics displayed nicely. I do however recon you could have a few less sections, for example combine the poetry and Lyrics sections with short stories to make a decent active section. Doing so will shorten up the board and increase activity, so I would suggest looking over the board and having a look at what your could combine together.
Also the theme looks great with a nice black and white effect, with the wooden board effect for a background a nice touch. How ever the banner up the top could use some work, as it looks like a plain banner very bland and to be honest boring.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
Your stats speak for themselves a quick look says they are very good 14000 posts in 3 months is a good achievement and you should give yourself a pat on the back. Also its nice to see loads of active members with plenty of there own posts, this says it’s just not you and your staff but loads of your members keeping the community alive.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Your team of staff members is a great size for 200 members, with only 5 staff members it’s nice to see a board with the right number of staff members running it. You have done a great job picking your staff, as I can see they all act great and with the best level of professionalism. They all seem nice and kind to members, and everyone on the board gets the respect they deserve. All I can say is nice job and well done, your running your board like a real forum should be run.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
The spelling and grammar on your site looks great, and with the added bonus off your staff posting with a good level of spelling and grammar. But all that aside there are a few problems I would like to bring to your attention, 2 main problems to be exact. First is the simple problem I noticed, when you and most of your staff posts in topics or replies, I recon your sentences are way to short, try adding some comers to make 2 sentences 1 as to many short sentences is not really the best.
The other thing will take a little explaining, as with your topic descriptions they really need some work. As they stand your topic descriptions are bland, boring and have no life to them. Your topics descriptions state only the bare minimum of information, and are so bland and boring to read. Try making them longer and cover what that topic is about, while your at it add a little does of excitement or comedy to them, to breath that little bit of extra life into them.
