Sorry For the Inconvenience
 
Number Of Members: First of all, checking your forum's date, it is roughly 9 months old and you have the smallest amount of members I've seen for a while. I probably would have expected somewhere at least 100-200 members by then, and activity that's booming. Your forum has a large potential to be a great forum, with uniqueness in the forum's subject. Here are some suggestions I have for you:

- Submit your site to different search engines
- Do plenty of Post Exchanges
- Try to find other services, such as topsites or directories.
3/10

Number Of Active Members: I think your forum probably should've had at least some more member activity. Having 2 staff and 3 members isn't really good even with 50 members. You can probably try to find some more drum related forums and advertise on them. Also you can send newsletters or mass mails out to update your members about whats going on in your forum. 4/10

Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): Aside from having below average members, I think you guys can post much more posts. I probably would have expected around 5000-8000 posts by then. Your posts have not been updated very often, and I suggest updating them everyday with more than a post on each forum. Try to get your staff to as well, post more often and think of contests that get your members posting.4/10

Appearance (First Impressions): First off I think the skin is quite bright, but is pretty sleek and clean. However, to some people, the logo may seem bright, so if you have the option for changing skins, make sure you find a darker skin. Now, the logo, looks pretty nice, it matches alright with the skin, except it looks pretty cut off. Probably making the dark background bar of the logo, reaching the end of the page.
Im not sure with the emotion on the Announcement description, which doesn't really match the forum. 11/20

Layout: Your forum has great organization, in categories and such, the menu bar is also really organized. Its hard to critique the organization on your forum, but you have done a fine job in organization. It's quite hard to critisize the organization, so you've done a great job in this category. 16/20

Moderation: I think that your forum needs more staff, other then 1 moderator and 1 admin. Try finding more moderators for your forum so you will be able to monitor more forums without having moderators complain about the amount of work. I have remarked that your staff and yourself have to post more often, so try to stay more active if you can. 6/10

Activity:I think your forum has minimal activity , and needs to be improved. I think you can follow my earlier suggestion of sending newsletters out reminding your members about your forum. 4/10

Spelling and Grammar I think your forum has great spelling and grammar, and your announcements are also pretty well typed out. I have noticed some minor spelling mistakes so try to find it and fix it. 9/10

Overall Mark: (Out Of 100) 57/100 There are some major problems with member count, posts and activity which can possibly be fixed. We encourage you to come back next month and ask for another review

Thanks so much for the review!

I advertise a lot sometimes but i cant seem to find the members! I guess its a lot harder though for the topic, as seen as most forums nowadays are off-topic related or graphics related and A LOT of people are into them now.

I will take in your advice and try my best to score some more members and posts 🙂

Thanks for the review! and i shall be back next month hopefully 😛
