Love the theme of your site although it does look a bit empty and bland on the forum page. Maybe you could add some colour or even a sidebar to the forum to make it look a bit more exciting and active. Love the forum icons as they are similar to the ones I'm using on my own forum 😀. A good amount of activity among your forums too. Good luck with the site 🙂

Thanks you! PeakForums was the reason I went out and looked for a couple set of forum icons, before we where using the same old bland icon for all the categories and then I visited your forum and say such a variety of icons that matched your forums so I just googled rounch icon packs and came across a couple of round packs and just used a little from each. As for the emptiness I am working on that. I am thinking of ways to rearrange the forum to make it look different that other IPB4 sites, but still make it more attractive lol
I love what you did with the homepage, I think it's better without the sidebar showing staff, etc. Kind of weird that its named "Pages" in the nav-bar though, can't you point a custom link to a page in IP.Board?
I absolutely adore the mini-profiles you got going on, I have not seen anything like it! The theme is really nice, pretty subtle. I think going with more color-vivid icons for the boards would help the board pop a little, to much blandish blue at the moment. 😛
When making a quick reply, the text looks like Times New Roman, and it doesn't match with the font it actually becomes when submitted, nor the rest of the font on the site. I'd look into getting that changed. 🙂
Other than that, the name and the overall site is amazing. I love IP.Board 4.0 as well so that's a plus!

I will get on some of these fixes, and yeah IPB4 looks quite nice until you get into the backend stuff. To anyone interested in buying or using IPB4 I would hold off, it is EXTREMELY buggy, problem after problem for our site.

Design Quality

Your theme is a clear, easy on the eyes theme. While it's a pleasure on the eyes to look at, the logo is definitely improve-able. I'm a big fan of having an image inside the logo, preferably on the left side of the logo. Having an image to your logo adds a little bit of flavor to your website, especially your header. Since your forum is a gaming/movie forum, something like a TV would look good in your logo, because of the connection that movies and video games have a a TV. Even if you can't find a good TV image, adding something entertainment related would do a lot to help your current logo.

Originality

You've done a good job making a gaming/movie hybrid website, with a forum added on as well. While the start towards the movie section looks pretty good, you definitely have some unused potential there. Your one movie review is of Jurassic World, which is definitely a good first movie review, however; I'd highly recommend that you use up the rest of this section's potential. If you can do something as simple as write one movie review per week, you'd have 52 movie reviews in a year, which would significantly help boost your originality, because a movie review section seems to be something that unfortunately so few websites have anymore.

One thing I immediately see on your homepage is the tab that says "Movies Reviews." This only needs one word plural, specifically "Reviews." Which means that the grammatically correct way to write that tab would be "Movie Reviews."
Theother thing I noticed is specifically related to the forum. Some of your announcements just don't seem like announcements. Announcements should be at least one proper paragraph, doing this will ensure your members are as up-to-date as they possibly can be. If you can't find a way to make certain things announcement length, it's a good idea to combine the announcement that you're having trouble making a full announcement out of with a different announcement.

Final Remarks
Nustron is off to a pretty good start. Currently, you have a lot of unused potential, especially in the "Movie Reviews" section. If you keep posting, writing, and developing, Nustron will continue to grow upon the success that it's already found. Best of luck in the future.
