Boards
Your boards have the typical flow found on a forum which is great. You seem to have a great selection of boards for users to post in, which also seem to be fairly active. I noticed a slight spelling mistake in one of your boards though. In the promote your link board the description says “Your Done”, it should be “You’re done”. You also have a spelling mistake with your “Website Evaulation” board, it should be: “Website Evaluation”, other than that it looks great!
Topic Selection
Browsing around the forum you have a lot of topics which covered a great range of different topics. Those threads seem to be getting a lot of replies too. You have no boards with tiny amounts of threads either, which is great.
Weaknesses:
Topic and Post Statistics
On your index you have your topics and posts as 12/71 for example. I really don’t know why but I find this really irritating. It just seems a bit tacky for some reason and I asked a few other people and they agreed.
Theme
I think your theme could do with a bit of work. The spaces between the boards and categories is way too large, I would suggest halving that space. I also believe that the Search bar shouldn’t be so hidden until you hover over it. It seems a little weird and members might not see it until they look over at the top right cover.
Final Remarks:
Will be interesting to see how this forum ends up, but I think it could have quite a bright future. I would just suggest changing some things up with the theme. I asked a few people for their opinion on it and they weren’t a fan of it.

This review was free because of Free Review Week. 🙂
Thanks for your review Luke. 🙂 As for the theme, we know it's a love/hate situation with it which is why we are saving up for a new theme for both the forum and blog. These will be matching and hopefully more generally appealing. However as we don't want anything tacky it may be a while before we can afford a very good theme. Until then, I think we'll just have to wait as we have more important tasks to do than fix a theme which is going to be replaced, sorry if that seems arrogant. With the spelling mistakes I'll go and fix them now, thanks for letting us know about them.
