First Impressions: (7 out of 10)
On first glance, the site looks simple and boring. That said, I love the dark coloring of the forum mixed with the bright pink, green, and blues for usernames and icons.
Number of Posts & Members: (9 out of 10)
For the site being open for almost two years, I think the member count and post count could be higher. That said, I don't think it's a major downfall for your site. Compared to other websites that I've reviewed, your forum has a higher post and member counts than most of them; especially the ones that have opened around the same time Lewd did. I suggest that you make sure you're on your A-game with advertising and promoting your forum to ensure that you consistently gain new members and content.
Activity Level: (9 out of 10)
In my opinion, the activity of your forum is pretty solid. Each board has several posts in it from "yesterday" through today, and that's always a good thing. Make sure that you and your staff continue to add new content to your forums, especially those that aren't posted in daily. Doing so will ensure that there is new content for your members to discuss and it will encourage those users to do so.
Site Structure: (20 out of 20)
The forum is easy to use and navigate. The login/register area is easy to find. I especially like the way your boards are laid out, it's different and unique (in a way). The sidebar with added information is a bonus. As far as the site structure goes, I have no suggestions or problems with it.
Design Quality: (15 out of 20)
As I stated in my initial comments, I feel like the site looks too simple and boring. While I love dark and flat themes, there isn't much to the design of this forum and that drives me crazy. Honestly, I feel like it was a design simply thrown together with not much thought behind it. But, that's my opinion. I'd suggest adding some slight gradients to the category bars, add an actual logo instead of plain text to make it stand out or "pop" to the viewers, and add something fun and colorful to the background area of the footer (behind General, Affiliates, Ohai ... areas).
Originality: (10 out of 15)
I get the feeling that this forum is a general community. That said, I don't see any board-specific things that are original. One thing I did notice was how you grouped the sub-boards for the "Lewd Community." The way you grouped those boards is unique and appropriate for your forum. Your forum, being a general discussion community, needs to have something that no other general discussion forum has to make it stand out to your potential members.
Spelling, Grammar & Professionalism: (10 out of 15)
For the most part, the spelling and grammar of most of the staff are top notch. That said, looking over the news threads, I feel like the professionalism could a bit of a boost. News type posts would be written professionally, especially when it comes to Lewd and the type of News posts that are made. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation is a must, and there are a few people that fail to do that in those articles/posts. I hate to point fingers at any one particular person, but Mumu has an issue with capitalization. That said, I'm just annoyed with it because I expect better from staff on a forum.
Thing you liked best about forum: I love the way the news posts/articles are done on this forum.
Thing you liked least about forum: The design is too simple and boring for my taste.
Overall Mark: (80 out of 100)
Honestly, your forum is doing good and I have no doubts that it will contiue to grow. Good luck, mate.
