Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
First thing I see when I enter your forum is the little PC Probs banner in the corner.. I like this, good job...
However, there is a huge empty area, right under your banner. It is just a full blue box which really bores me as a guest. I highly suggest you find something to do with this, maybe you can put your PCBrobs banner inside it or something and make it a little bigger. The problem is the blankness.
The rest of the portal seems pretty nice. I like all of the widgets and easiness to register and login.
Your boards theme is all in all very nice. I really like the wallpaper in the background and I really like the skin all around.
To summarize, the main problem here is the small size of your banner and also that huge blank blue spot. The rest of your appearance is great.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
While looking at your layout, my first thoughts are how organized it is. The first category is all in perfect order, as is the second and third..
But, I think for the fourth category, Off Topic, we can do a little bit to fix it up.
First, you don't need a whole board for gaming, or graphics, and especially you tube and URL links.
You should have a general discussion board, then you should have an Entertainment board, and in that entertainment board you can re-direct discussions of all types of Media, like Gaming and Television and Movies.
Graphics can be worked into the General Discussion board, by making it a subforum of General Discussions, and you can make your links forum a subforum of General discussion also.
Other than the excess off topic boards, your layout is in great order.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
If the board was founded right at the beginning of May, the board is almost exactly 3 months old as of now. You have about 75 members, and about 2,500 posts. That's pretty damn good. I see your site around the forum a lot, and I am also a registered member.
You advertise your site perfectly, you participate in tons of exchanges, and you promote all the time. You have to keep this up to continue to succeed like you have been
🙂 Your board statistics are great.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
You've got 3 administrators and 2 moderators, 5 staff members on a board with 75 members is a little excessive. The ideal number would be only 3 staff entirely, and whats even more alarming is that there are 3 people with Administrator access.. this isn't a bad thing, but you need to make sure you can trust these people when giving them ACP access.
As for activity, 2 out of the 3 administrators are very active. Your " GFX Staff " person that has admin access only has a total of about 25 posts on your board. That isn't something that's good looking to guests or members at all. I would tell this guy to get more into gear and post more frequently.
As for both moderators, they appear to be very active, which is another plus on your site.
The only problems with your staff is that a GFX person with less than 30 posts has access to the admin panel, which really doesn't look good at all.

Final Remarks:
Your board is in pretty good shape. You promote it well, you appear to be a very dedicated administrator, and I'm not noticing a lot of issues other than the administrator with 25 posts and the big, blue blank area.

What I liked most was definitely the layout. The layout was all in perfect order other than the small problem in off topic.

The blue blank area with nothing in it on the index.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
I'm already a member
🙂 I'd consider being more active if that blue blank area was filled, though.
