First Impressions - (Out of 20)
Well the first impressions I get of your site are very positive. I like the banner and I also like the template you are using. I can't say I'm a fan of the ''See your forums statistics'' message in the header though, I think it would be betetr off not there at all or at the bottom of the page. Another thing I think could be improved that is on the online list you could have an icon instead of it saying ''Who is Online'' next to the people who are online. Also maybe your topic icons are a big bit, I think you should reduce the size of them by 10-20 pixels or so. Despite these minor issues I am still going to give you a very high mark, and say on the whole excellent work.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Generally I would say the layout/organisation of your site is good. I think there are a couple of problems though. I don't see why gameboy is top of the console section? It's not the most popular console and I'd move it down the list. Also I don't think you need a section for reports central, it can come under suggestions/feedback IMO. Other then that no real problems.

Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
You have been open about 5 1/2 months and you have 1300 or so posts and 51 members. To be honest, that's not very good. 1 member every 3 days or so and also less then 10 posts a day. Also you only have had 4 members on in the last 24 hours. These statistics are incredibly unimpressive. To get more activity I reccomend post packages, post exchanges, directories, using every service at promotion sites and also link referral. This is an area you really need to work on.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
I'm pretty sure you're the only staff member on your forum. I really think getting a moderator would be a good idea and you really need one to improve the amount of activity on your site. You are active as administrator so I can't really say much about staff inactivity but you really could do with 1 or 2 moderators.

Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
There are some spelling and grammar issues. In the feedback forum you have spelt feedback wrong in the forum description ''Feeback'' other then that I don't think there are any spelling mistakes. However you use unneccessary capital letters in the forum descriptions (you have capitals on every word) which doesn't look great and makes your site look a little unprofessional. Get rid of the capitals on every letter and it will look much better. Other then that no issues.

Total Score - (59/100)
Final Remarks: I think the forum looks quite nice but it doesn't really have any activity and for any forum to succeed it needs activity. I'm sort of reviewing a dead forum.
What was most liked about the website/forums: The template is quite appealing and the banner is nice, simple but effective.
What was disliked most about the website/forums: The lack of activity on your site was very disappointing and you need to sort the activity problem out
