Name of Site: PokéRoll Site Genre: Roleplaying Game Site URL:http://pokeroll.uni.me/forums Type of Review ( Full/Quick ): Quick Opening Date: June 11, 2013 Additional Notes: It is a roleplaying forum but the only roleplay category is the main roleplay game I provided. It has an interactive map and even custom bbcodes dedicated for it. I would love to know if I should add a custom roleplay category. Also, English isn't my first language so I would love to know if the gameplay explanation is easily understandable. But if that's not part of the review process, then it's alright. Please consider reviewing my forums as I really need to know if it lacks something before I advertise it in big pokémon boards.

Theme Design & Images
The theme looks amazing. It is colorful, it speaks Pokemon and it really shows a lot of great potential. The theme really caught my attention and really got me interested the second that I clicked the link. The "Kanto" button that you have was really neat to have a map of that specific region and I did like the menu that you had implemented into the design of the theme. I do suggest that you remove the arrows on the menu buttons because it gives the impression that they are drop down menu's when they actually aren't. The images look very amazing and really stick out and show that it is pokemon related and I love the variety of different images but it seems hard to tell what is new and what is old forums. I would recommend finding some images that shows when they are new or old. That way the members and guests can see that there is more content and that will bring in more members for the site.
Forum Content
Your forum for being so young and so new has a good amount of topics and a good amount of posts and a decent amount of members but if you really wanna keep the site going at full speed you should get some more members and get some more topics for them to post in. Try having a contest or 2 to get the members excited for being apart of the site. The more excited the members are to be apart of the site the more members they will bring in for you. Try having a posting contest to see who could post the most threads. That way, you have members making more content and racking them up for you that will bring up the activity of your site and really make your forum the best that it can possibly be. Overall, you have a great design for your site and some good content so far but you might wanna work on the content a bit more.
Weaknesses:
Activity
Your forum has 18 members but yet in the past 48 hours you have only had yourself and 1 member online. You are going to really want to kick start the members and get them more active. Because inactive members leads to inactive sites. Once your site dies off due to inactivity, it becomes hard to get a site back on track if it dies due to inactivity. So the best thing to do is focus on getting your current members active again and then you can focus more on having them support you in getting more members for your site. So lets move onto the next topic that I see as an issue.
Amount of Forums
Your site has a small amount of forums it seems. The best way to get more topics, posts, and members is to have a larger amount of forums for members to post topics in and share the opinions and feelings. Your best bet is to make more forums, and have your current members make more topics in those new forums to make them look active. That way, the new forums that you created will show that your site is still growing and going strong and that will get a lot of those visiting guests to really wanna join the site and be apart of an active and growing community. Even if they aren't experienced in pokemon, they can still be apart of it and learn over time.
Final Remarks:
Overall your site is a wonderful site so far. I would just really focus on getting more members and adding some more forums and getting some more content. Once you get those things up, your site will grow so fast you won't even see it happen. I hope you enjoyed your review!
