Your Quick Review
Pros:
- While your style is basic I found it was one of the styles that I loved. As you’re a forum for graphics it’s really important to show your work. Nobody would want to join a graphics forum where the graphics in the style and there banner were terrible, or at least I wouldn’t. Yours was far from that and was impressive considering you made it yourself. Good work mate!
- I like your toolbar. Not only the way it was designed but it allows me to know where everything is that might be of interest to me (or another guest). It allows easy navigation, is convenient having it all right in the header of your forum, and is organized. Organized meaning not loaded with links to places that aren’t of importance.
- I liked the layout of your boards and categories, along with the fact that you used sub-boards and didn’t load the forum index with a bunch of different boards. You knew which boards needed a true board, and which boards didn’t and would be better suited having themselves a sub-board. You organized all your boards. Starting with your important news and information boards, then moving into your primary graphics boards, and finished off with your off-topic, general discussion boards.
Cons:
Overall the forum greatly impressed me. These cons are minor, but I still wanted to make sure you had some things to work on. You wouldn't want to pay to be told how good you are would you?
- The text in the banner is slightly hard to read. If you would made change the font type I think it would be great. I'm not talking super basic with Time New Roman but I'm thinking just something a little easier to the eye.
- The descriptions on your boards are a little "blah". I don't seeing one sentence descriptions, but then again some forums don't need paragraphs to describe the board. I think you could use a little more description in some areas just to make it clear to everyone.
- Activity wasn't super high but I'm not overly concerned considering how long you've been open, only about four days. Just focus on posting yourself and I recommend doing some exchanges or buying posts here on FP. Nobody likes being a part of an inactive forum so try to fill up your boards and raise your stats.
Final/General Thoughts: You have a great forum. Just keep working on the basics. Advertising/Promoting, keeping your boards loaded with threads for your members to post in, and trying to keep those active members active.
🙂 You have a good foundation and I'm sure you will be able to take this forum places.
What was most liked about the website/forums: What I liked most about your forum was the style and banner aside for the text. There is no way I would craft something like you did. Across the board is was well executed and I'm sure you put a lot of time into it. It clearly shows!
What was disliked most about the website/forums: What I disliked most about your forum was a tie between the text of your banner and the descriptions of your boards. The text, liked I said was hard to read and the descriptions of your boards were short and a little to basic for me.
Final Score : Score -8/10
