Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
To be honest I think you should ditch the whole idea of your portal, it looks extremely unprofessional and it's the last thing on my list that would encourage me to go any further onto your forum. Especially the name feewebs.com and then your name, seriously, once you get rid of this you will realise a lot more people will start taking you more serious. Once going onto your forum I see that you are using Zetaboards, personally not my favourite type of software but I suppose it's down to our personal taste. I'm not really a fan of your template mainly because it is hard to read and not very inviting. I like your banner very much because it stands out from the template... sometimes it's not always best to have blends of colours :biggrin:

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
As said above I'm not fond on the template, therefore the black of the 'realms' part of your banner is very, very hard to see. So when I first went on your forum I thought it was called Nintendo, I recommend changing the colour of the Realms bit to orange so they both stand out! I also quite like your icons on the forum, they jazz it up a bit. Scrolling down your forum is nice, everything is looking clean and tidy and grammar from the first glance is good
🙂 I will dive further into the grammar later on in the review.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
Total Forum Posts: 10,312, Total Members: 194. This is a really nice stack of number and you should be proud. When I looked at how many came back in the last 120 mins there were round 3 so that's okay. Just keep working on getting members to come back daily, add some new services of reviews. maybe even a blog to gain traffic for the forum! Also not many of the actual members are coming back, only the staff and founder. No new member want to be on a forum when the only active members are the staff.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
From what I can see is that you have
no staff? At this stage I would normally moan about that you to many staff and members are overwhelmed but on yours it is the complete opposite
😛 Sometimes it is okay OK to have no staff but with the stats you have I think you should consider hiring a Moderator. It just all depends how many members are coming back daily... But you the only staff member are doing a very good job.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Without ploughing through every post in your entire forum I can see that the majority of posts and descriptions are with good grammar and professionalism. All I can say to improve your writing is to add some spice to it, liven up your writing using different connectives and adjectives. Sometimes I feel you could say things a bit more bluntly and not go on about some things too.
