Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I love the colors and the "smoothness" of the forum. The gold and the white looks really nice together. I also love the "Tip of the Moment" box. To my understanding, you opened your forum less than a week ago and it already looks great. I guess that gives you an excuse as to not having the "GFX Competition Winners" box filled out. ~smile~
The ads are in a good place. They are not in the way and sort of fit in. The First Impression that I had was that the forum was very professional. I really see nothing that can be improved.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The navigation of the forum is nice. I like how you split up the Preferences and the Inbox links. They seem to fit in perfectly. I would remove the Portal link until the portal is complete. When it is, I would make it the default page. Until then, remove the link. I would remove the Calender, there isn't really a reason to have it with a Graphics forum. The calender module is more for music forums or forums that want to tell members when things are going on.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
For a forum opened less than a week ago, you are doing great! You have 10 members online in the last hour and 65 members in all. You already have 2.800 posts! That is almost a record in my book. You are doing great! I see nothing to improve except you might want to change the "Members online in 60 Minutes" to 10 minutes so people can see if their friends are online.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
You currently have one admin and one moderator. These are good numbers, but (this may be the first time I said this) you may want to hire another moderator. On the other hand, you and your staff are doing a great job moderating the forum and members. Great job! ~smile~

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
The spelling and grammar of your forum is great. I saw minimum grammar mistakes and minimum spelling mistakes. Good job with that! The Professionalism of your forum is great. Referring back to the First Impressions, your forum looks like a professional forum, even tho it was opened less than a week ago! You are doing awesome!
