Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
OK, since I last reviewed this forum, absolutely nothing has changed in your forum’s appearance. That’s a good thing since I previously gave you a 20/20. Your forum runs vBulletin and the skin you have for it looks different from other vBulletin skins and is not generic at all. The green isn’t an ugly shade, because trust me, it’s easy to screw up green. Nothing is hard to read or understand, so there’s really nothing bad for me to say. Keep on, well, keeping your forum’s appearance the same.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
I’m sorry, this review is difficult to write because I’m trying to make it different and point out different stuff, but once again not much has changed on your layout. That being said, that’s a GOOD thing since you got a 20/20 in this area either. Your portal is still very easy to understand and uncluttered. Your forums are physically layed out well. The only thing is that while it’s not a problem right now, I would suggest not adding anymore off-topic forums, because any more and your forum could have a problem I’ve seen in others where off-topic and general discussion almost look as if they outnumber your forum’s theme. You don’t want that happening.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
Hooray, something I can review differently! I can now assess this section more completely since you’ve been open longer. 1K posts and 38 members is a fine statistic for a forum of about a month. I’ve seen better, but I’ve seen way more worse. So therefore, I can’t complain. Plus you’re advertising on FP, so obviously you care about your forum.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
This is where you lost your perfect 20 streak on your first review, and well, you’ve unfortunately made this section even worse. Yes, you did remove the moderator application part, but you hired another mod, which I seriously suggested you didn’t. You now have 4 admins and 2 global mods, which NO forum your age should even be approaching. I can understand like having some GFX staff and some people to help solve problems, but making the support people admins just can be intimidating and I am strongly suggesting you stop hiring for a very, very long time.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Unfortunately, none of the spelling errors I pointed out before have been fixed. Is there any point in me re-pointing them out? Let me just paste that part from the old review.
“Your spelling and grammar certainly was not the worst I've ever seen. It wasn't perfect, but it was good. "Please post any bugs you find with our site or any suggestions that you may have for us to improve PcProbs" lacks a period and should be "Please post any bugs you find with our site or any suggestions that you may have for us to improve PcProbs." The following forums have this problem:
-Suggestions/ Bugs (Mentioned above, also I would consider removing the space after /.")
-Job Applications
-Discussion
-Graphics
The only other thing that even staff on your forum were pointing out grammar issues. (
http://www.pcprobs.org/showthread.php?t=78 was one I saw.) I'm not trying to insult you or say your spelling's horrible or anything, just you know, make sure words are used correctly, etc. Not bad overall though.”
As far as professionalism, stop hiring staff and fix the spelling errors and you’ll be fine.
