Review of nintendoforums.forumup.com
Appearance (First Impressions):(
15/20)
Firstly I say that the style would look better if it had borders and rounded corners, so there’s a dividing line between the forum and the background. I recommend that you change your logo if possible to something that suits your forum better. The navigation and search links I would say could be presented better in a better way. I would say that the ads on your forum do stand out a lot and take my eyes of reading the forum. All the text is easy to read. The copyright at the bottom would look better if it wasn’t inside the box and was simply on the background.
Layout: (
17/20)
All of the forums seem to have a decent amount of posts in so that shows that they are popular. You haven’t mentioned anything twice looking down the forums. One thing is that dose the advertising forum really needs to be there, since you can get members who come just to advertise there site then just leave very soon.
Number Of Members: (
7/10)
Your forum has got 63 members. As your forum has been open since 19th Sep 08 you have managed to do well to get this amount of members on your forum within 2 months. I can’t really think of any improvements here.
Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): (
9/10)
Your forum has got 3706 posts. When comparing this figure with the amount of members this shows that your members have spent quite a lot of work to get this amount of posts. As well since the posts are spread across the forums that helps by showing quests that each section has importance to your forum.
Moderation:(
9/10)
(This might not be right) Your forum has got 1 admin and 3 moderators. With your current forum avidity I say that this amount of staff should be able to cope. As well you don’t have too many staff which a forum with lots of staff discourages quests to join.
Activity:(
16/20)
While I have been doing this review you have got quite a bit of posts. But not as much as what I would have expected. I thought there would have been more activity on your forum.
Spelling and Grammar(
10/10)
So far I haven’t had a problem here as no mistakes I found. But one thing is some of the ! marks in forum descriptions aren’t needed.
Suggestions(Not Marked)
- Not sure if you can but tell your host to update to phpbb3 soon since phpbb2 is coming unsupported at the end of the year.
- Try getting rid of some ! off forum descriptions.
Overall Mark (Out Of 100): 83
I would of expected your forum to of done better than this score. But overall this is a good score.
The 15FP cash for this review will be deducted by an admin or team leader.
