First Impressions - (Out of 20)
It may not be my taste in what I'm looking for in a forum, but this forum has some style. A very unique layout within each board. And i really like the image pics for each DJ board. A nice added touch. Everything seems to go well togther; from the skin, category bars, and the text color.
The only one setback, is the forum banner. It really sets itself apart from the rest of the forum, and not in a good way. I like simple banners, but it just seems too plain for a forum like this. I would recommend a banner that compliments the rest of the forum, and grabs the guests' attention when visiting.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
I like the beginning sections of the forum. You make sure to get all the basics up first, so it's the first thing new members, as well as returning ones, check and see there first.
There's alot going on here. Maybe too much! The studio board just seems to have alot of content, and would be hard for a new member to find their way around it. I'm sure it's the style your members are used to and prefer; nothing wrong with making sure the forum theme, stays the main theme. I do respect that!
All other sections of the board seem very well layed out; and easily navgatible.

Forum Statistics - (out of 20)
It's hard to not notice, that your forum has come along way. I've sen forums with more members, and less posts. Yours is impresive, 388 members, making a grand total of over 160,000 posts altogether, is one of the best forum statistics i have seen, when comparing the member/post ratio.
One thing that does kind of seem strange. Is some of the DJ boards, where there are only 18 topics, but over 12,000 posts. There may be some one on one discussions going on between DJ's and fans .... but after so many posts, it's time to start the topic over. Noone's going to want to read a topic through with that many posts. It just throws some people off.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Well, at the current time, there are 6 members on, with only one admin present, and 3 DJ's. I'm assuming DJ's are considered staff, since it should take something to be a DJ, and get their own board. Some may take off for being overstaffed ... but that's the theme of the forum, is bringing DJ's togther, and that's what should be more present than anything.

Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
The Admin/Staff is obviously someon educated, with some years behind them, and i mean that in a good way. Everything is well presented, and well intriguing when reading board titles and description. And it's hard to critique on something so well done.

Total Score - 90 (Out of 100)
Final Remarks:
I can tell you've put your soul into this forum, and it really shows. From the clever, and insightful board titles, and descriptions ... to the many diverse activities the forum offers. And i can tell you've got some years/experience behind you in the radio business, cause you do know what you're talking about, and how to get new, and striving, DJ's involved. Excellent work you've done.
What was most liked about the website/forums:
Just the feeling, and commitment from the forum staff to the forum. I'm sure it's been along road, but everything seems just perfectly orchestrated for this forum.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
That i can't DJ, and get involved. Seriously, though, nothing i can say bad about the place, just that there are too many boards, and would find it hard to find a place to start, or even get my name out there in the community ... i'd be so lost.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
It's not about me not liking the forum, it's that your ofurm has one goal, to inspire, and represent DJ's who want to make it in the business, and looking for guidance, and a way in the door to the business. If i ever plan a career change, and i can get my voice to sound pleasing, lol, i'll defenitely check out this forum, again.
