Number Of Members: 7/10 (marked out of 10)
You've been open since the 4th april and you have 134 members. Quite a good number for a gaming forum. There are a lot of gaming forums that are advertised here, try post exchanges with other gaming sites and you will probably get new members and possibly new active members.
Number Of Active Members: 4/10 (marked out of 10)
Having looked at memberlist, which is great because it is sorted by activity time, you don't really seem to have that many active members. You have people who have posted lots, but some of them haven't been on for a while. A lot of people like gaming and run gaming forums, as stated above, so try and get more activity, also you could possibly affiliate with other gaming sites, the admins of the other gaming sites would also be more likely to stay active if you did that.
Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): 5/10 (marked out of 10)
You have around the same amount of posts i have got on my forum in 3 1/2 weeks. You can improve posts by post exchanges, as stated above. Also mass-emails are helpful, as they will make your members look at the site, and possibly become active again. Meanwhile the quality of your posts seems to be OK, no real one word posts in the main sections which is good.
Appearance (First Impressions): 15/20(marked out of 20)
The appearance is great. I get good first impressions. The only problem i can find is that the purple navbar at the top really doesn't in my opinion go with the blue theme of the rest of the forum. And i like the topic logos, gaming forums seem to always have nice topic images.
Layout: 15/20 (marked out of 20)
The layout again, is good. However, i don't like the fact the 'sandbox shootout' is above the xbox360, PS3 and wii sections. I think it should be below or you should put it in your banner. Other than that, nice layout.
Moderation: 4/10 (marked out of 10)
You have yourself, the admin and 4 mods, which is too much, and really, the bulk of your active members. One of your mods hasn't been on for a week either, tell him to get on the forum or face being sacked. Inactive mods for me shows a lack of enthusiasm/determination for the forum.
Activity: 5/10 (marked out of 10)
You have activity, but all the sections most recent posts have been by a mod. I think your forum can stay alive, I think following what i've said earlier in this review will help you a great deal. There are a hell of a lot of gaming forums out there, and a hell of a lot of gaming fans, so your forum definitely has potential.
Spelling and Grammar: 9/10(marked out of 10)
Your spelling and grammar seems fine, the only reason i am not giving you a 10 is because in one thread, i saw that you used the wrong too.
Overall Mark (Out Of 100): 64/100
I like your forum, follow my advice and you could start to succeed a whole lot more. Good luck!

And i like the topic logos, gaming forums seem to always have nice topic images. I have now changed the appearance and removed the purple, thanks for the advice, forum is looking a lot better without it -😉-

Other than that, nice layout. The thing is the site was originally sandboxshootout, aimed at GTA4 and Saints Row 2, but then the forum has grown like all forums do and so I couldn't get rid of it and want to keep it as the main part of the site 9for the time being). To be totally honest with you I didn't know what to do with it, lol, I knew I couldn't delete it, and know that the site is promoted in a lot of ways just purely for the GTA 4 and Saints Row 2 forums so had to keep it and bump it up I guess!

One of your mods hasn't been on for a week either, tell him to get on the forum or face being sacked. Inactive mods for me shows a lack of enthusiasm/determination for the forum. The mod is back now, I have a staff room (hidden from members/guests), and the mod you are referring too was on holiday.

I will definatley take your advice, it is helpful and friendly, and your right, most active users is myself and the 4 mods, really need more active members -🙁

Your spelling and grammar seems fine, the only reason i am not giving you a 10 is because in one thread, i saw that you used the wrong too. I don't understand what you mean by ''I saw that you used the wront too''. Please tell me?
