Your Quick Review
Pros:
- The skin is really nice defiantly gives the user that grungy gaming feel. I really liked seeing it be dark simple and effective, It brought my attention the moment I saw it.
- I enjoyed the logo however try making it a little bigger so people can get the full effect. On another note all the graphics seemed to be appealing.
- I know this might not feel big as a Pro but I see it does, Because most gaming sites now that I have reviewed has spelled Xbox like xBox which isn't correct. Nice job.
- Having different sections when running a gaming website is needed such as graphics,movies ect.. Which you have included and this should make all your users welcomed and enjoyable during the time being on your forum.
- You didn't overload on staff which is another good thing, Only two staff is okay. You could probably throw in another moderator but not too much as your site needs to be a bit more active before throwing in tons of staff.
- One addon feature which I thought was cool was the popup buddy list if you could make it load a bit faster (which you may not be able to) It would make this feature and your website seem that much better, However it is fine as it is.
- Having the section "Game Reviews" was a neat idea. Giving your users the chance to give a full opinion about their favorite or not so favorite games. Very nice job having this, Even later down the road you could make this feature a must have addon to your website by maybe adding it's on section out of the forums somehow. Just giving ideas
😉
Cons:
- One of the first things I came to notice is that you don't have a favicon
🙁. Now this isn't major but to me every gaming site at least should have one. But in general all sites should as it symbolizes what a site could be about just with a small picture!
- One thing that I found not irritating to me as it will be for you. Is the donate area this is a place that should be more visible to your users having it in the footer is
okay but isn't great try adding a section somewhere on the forum home regarding donations and maybe telling users in this block what it goes towards.
- Being a gaming forum you should be open to older consoles that are not really outdated such as the PS2, As games are still coming out for the Playstation2. You could do this by making a Sony section then by making child boards of PS3,PSP,PS2 ect...
- You didn't have much for your users to do. Yes posting is okay but you want to stand out from everyone else be original. I know an arcade isn't being original however adding simple things would come in handy first and which you didn't do much off.
- The GnCash area was an "okay" Idea yes every gaming website and or forums has some kid of points and or credits system. However yours just seem to be there really didn't get much out of it, Just by looking.
Final/General Thoughts:
Not much was bad about your site if you do a couple more addons and such I think you could have a very good community and forums
What was most liked about the website/forums:
the design was clean and gaming like.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
The logo was a bit small for my taste
🙁
Final Score : Score - 7.5(Out of 10)
