Good looking site: This is a fantastic bonus for your forum. Just visiting it and browsing around, it looks very professional, clean, sleek and solid design with good content.
Good navigation, the site and forum is very easy to move around and find what one is looking for.
The design of your forum is good, it is very easy on the eye, even late at night and isn't too cluttered like a few gaming forums I have seen.
I am liking how you ahve covered most topics for your community to really get the most out of their stay, nice job!
Both Moderators and Admins show to have good levels of activity, which is great!
Forum Cons:
The welcome text on the main home doesn't sound all that right, doesn't flow as well as it could. "Welcome to GZC, The Ultimate Gaming Forum. The only way this is possible is if you register!" What is possible exactly? I would consider re-wording it to make it sound slightly more selling and intriguing, you need to capture me straight away and make me want to check the forum out & register.
Activity could be slightly higher, being open since last year, once would expect more posts, keep taking on services, exchanges to really get this going.
Your domain only masks the site and forums, this is a major downer. The title on every page is the same: "gaming-zc.com". I would recommend trying to sort this out.
Final/General Thoughts:
The site is great, the forum is great but they are just both lacking the final 'umph' to really make them shine for guests. I really like the layout of your forum and the activity that your Staff team provide. There are a few points that need to be addressed, which are fairly big, once these have been sorted out your forum and site will start to gain some posting and members, keep the advertising up too!
What was most liked about the website/forums:
I really liked the overall design of the site and forums best, they both fit in well with the chosen theme and the forum layout is good.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
The domain and title issue, small things like this bug me while completing reviews and I feel that this needs some attention, you have the domain, just need to use it fully with the site and forum.
Final Score :Score - (7.5 Out of 10)
Some Useful links, here at forum promotion, you may want to look at. All for the better of your forum's activity.
