Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance
When I first visited your forum, my first impression was amazing. You have a nice green theme and a banner that suits the theme well. Your favicon is RG, your forums initials, which I always like to see. It’s nice and simple. I like your board icons as well. The match your theme well, and are obviously custom made. I see you still have your default topic icons. These are very boring and plain, I think you should change it to something similar to your board icons. Other than that, there’s not much to improve your appearance that can be done. Keep up the good work.

Site Layout
I see you have 13 boards. This is a good number for the size of your forum, but there are still a few things that can be changed to look better. Reviews and Walkthroughs, guides, and Strategies are a bit empty. I think these would be better as a sub board under General Gaming. Also, you don’t have a board for feedback. This is something you need, members may have suggestions that could help you, or they may need help. You should really consider adding one. Also, the sports board is a bit empty. Maybe that would look better as a sub board for General. I notice you don’t have a Forum Games board. Many people (including myself) enjoy playing forum games like ‘Ban the person above you’ and ‘Last person to post wins’, I think you should have this as a sub board for General. Post count should be switched off so that members don’t spam to get a higher post count in the forum games.

Statistics and Activity
You opened June 12th 2011, and since then you have managed to accumulate 647 posts and 32 members. This is not good at all. This gives you an average of about 15 posts per day. This could be much better. I noticed no boards have a post in it today or yesterday. This would really discourage me from joining. Even if no one else is, you should make sure you post every day. The forum looks much more active this way. Try an active for active exchange here at Forum Promotion. You have one third of the forums posts, which is good, it shows you are dedicated. Overall, you really need to work on your forums activity.

Staff Moderation
Right now you are the only staff member. As your forum is still young, you are doing fine on your own. But in case you are ever unable to get online for whatever amount of time, I think hiring a moderator would be a good idea. It would only help you forum. As your forum grows a moderator is something you will need. As I said above, you are doing a great job on your own, I don’t see any issues or spam. You have one third of the forums total post count which shows you are dedicated. Overall, you are going well but could use a moderator.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
Your board descriptions are very short and boring. I don’t mean to sound mean, but every one of them starts with ‘Talk about’ or ‘Feel free to talk about’. You should change them so they are not so boring and repetitive. Also, the Playstation description does not have the U in Universe capitalized where as the Microsoft and Nintendo one’s do. The Reviews and Walkthroughs boards don’t have descriptions at all. I think you should rewrite your board descriptions to make them more detailed and longer. Your grammar in posts seems to be pretty good, well done.
