Large Forum Review
First Impressions Your forum looks fine in first impressions. Your theme looks absolutely fabulous, those two shades of red go together extremely nicely, I don't think I have seen much better of a red theme in my entire experience in foruming and reviewing. Your forum looks pretty active, not the most active, but pretty good. Your forum has an arcade, a Facebook, and a Twitter. Facebook and Twitter are important things to use because I think that it is just a better way to connect with the members of your forum and an Arcade will attract many fun people to your forum and they might even be active because gaming is exactly what your forum is centered on, I think you have a great thing going.

Appearance Like I said, your theme is perfect, top to bottom, you have a great red color scheme, a great banner + forum icons (which are alike). You have many things that members can use on the index like the chatbox and lots of great information including the latest high scores on the arcade, etc. The only thing bad I can see about the appearance is just the emoticons, I just think they don't look the best and they are overused, I would just like to see more of a varitety of smileys. Another thing I noticed is the fact that some of the staff colors look pretty dark and depressing and don't just look that amazing, this includes Devil Gamers and Gods. Other than this, I'm having a rather hard time trying to figure out some cons of your appearance.

Statistics and Activity I can see your activity is okay, but not the best. I think you should try to do the best as you can, get a group of advertisers, and don't make the forum soudnd dull, be friendly, keep adding content that will attract the kind of people that you want on your forum. I think you can do much better in the four and a half years your forum has been up, I highly encourage you to follow my instructions throughout the review because I know just how to get your forum to be a better community.

Ratios Now, you have 33 posts per day, which is good, but it could be better. You should be getting much more like 60-100+ by this time, but don't get discouraged. You still have a greta rate that your forum is still growing, and it is growing consistently. I believe that you follow the golden rules of being friendly, making members at home, advertising the forum by putting many extra details, and just adding anything that you want that will help your forum that you desire, you have to make your forum 100+ gamer friendly, and I will hint some of that later in the review. Just don't forget, forums take time, and you always have patience. It isn't too late to get your forum to become thriving with active members who catch up with everything your forum has to offer.

ContentYour forum could have much better content. I think that in the XBox,Nintendo,PlayStation gaming forums, etc.could just have more about PlayStation and XBox and Nintendo gaming in general. I think that all over the forum you need some better content for the forum, this might help your statistics (as far as activity goes, anyway) by at least a little bit. I can tell you are excellent at making good content, but I think you need better content for your forum.I'm sure you could do better, I highly recommend you do this immediately. Don't forget to put it just in the gaming forums, gaming is not the only thing people ever want to talk about

Navigation I think your forum has special navigation. Your forum is easy to get around and I like that, your theme navigation just seems so compact in my eyes, I think this is essential for most members of your forum because it surely seems that your forum is easier to get around than other forums, your forum page is short and like I said-compact. Don't change a single thing about Navigation!

Final Remarks Nice theme with compact navigation, the only thing I am concerned of most is the activity, but the content suffers as well.
