First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
-I really like the look of the forum. The theme is really nice, I keep trying to find flaws with it because that is my job, but I can't. It is great.
-The banner is really unique. Obviously considering it is a music forum, it has different artists. I also like that it is a unique shape, not some standard rectangle like every other forum. Unique forums win big points in today's internet.
-The forum has an overall clean look to it. There are no ads, no useless modules, and no random things that just annoy me. The only things here are the things that need to be there. Perfect.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
-The overall organization of the forums is spot on. I wouldn't have done any other way. The forum descriptions are interesting, that is hard to find.
-One little issue I see is under the "Who is Online" module. Many of the statistics here are long and take up several lines. I think it would look better to separate them more by double spacing in between stats.
-Under the "User Control Panel" module, the time information looks a little out of place. I would suggest moving it down one line, or move it directly under the banner, on the same row that "Board Index" is on (in the center).

-The average post count per member is about 55 posts. For less than two months, that is great! Members sign up, and stay. They keep posting, and you keep dedicated members.
-The average posts per day is 63. That is really good. The forum is really booming. You have done wonders, and it shows. Members come, post, and have a great time.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
-You are the only administrator on the forum. That is good. No need to have two staff admins for a forum like this. Two would be nice in case of emergency, but that is being paranoid and thinking worst case scenario. It might be good to have someone to turn to, say you go on vacation for a week or two.
-Two moderators is perfect. It is a nice sized forum, and two dedicated staff members will do a good job making sure everything is alright. Keep this the same.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
-Member Journals - "Got something you just want to write about? It must be related to music somehow though! Come on in and post your thoughts." Somehow is one word, and I fixed that same sentence because it was a fragment.
-General Music Chat - "Anything about music can be discussed here. Feel as though you have a topic that just does not fit into any of the other sections? Well come in and post it here!" I changed "Feel as..." to "Feel as though..."
-Site Advertising - "Do you run a site that you would like to advertise? Well come on in and post a topic about your site! Site must obey the main site rules." I edited the first sentence. It sounded kind of awkward.
-Other than these three minor grammatical errors, the forum has great spelling and grammar. You have created a very good, professional forum.
