HEAVGAMING REVIEW SUBMITTED BY SUBZ UK
Number Of Members: (8/10)
You currently have 659 members registered on your forums, your forums have been open for nearly 13 months, and I think this is a decent amount of members for a gaming site like yours. To gain more members I would just advertise on all the promotional forums you see, here is
a list of promotional forums you should try
Number Of Active Members: (3/10)
You have only 62 active members on your forums I think this is quite poor as that means 597 of your members are inactive. To help improve your active member count I would do the following
• Advertise on all the promotion forums and forums that allow you to post your website link.
• Take part in registration exchanges.
• Put your link in your signature in all the forums you visit (unless the rules state otherwise)
• Submit your site to search engines so spiders can crawl your site.
By doing the above will get your link the web and allow search engines to crawl your website, then your site will appear higher on search engines for specific words and you will gain more visitors.
I would suggest looking into the other services Forum Promotion offer like;
• packages,
• signature links,
• Banner Promotion
• Affiliates
This would help your forum get more members on your forum and I am sure you will be able to gain more active members.
Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): (8/10)
You have over 17,000 posts in over 2,000 threads which I think is a very good amount for a forum that has been online for 13 months. I noticed that some forums have only a couple of threads/posts which could be made into subforums.
Appearance (First Impressions): (14/20)
The layout is quite good I like how you have incorporated a banner adverts into the header.
I don’t like the forum icons very much they look big and very basic, if I was you I was buy some new ones that would suit your gaming site better.
I would change from a fluid width to a fixed with as your forum descriptions aren’t that big and there is a lot of space in the middle of the template, having a fixed width would solve this issue.
Layout: (17/20)
I think your forum has a good layout overall there isn’t really much I would change on he forums as I was thinking about merging a couple of the smaller forums into sub forums but I think they all need to be there. You have a .general chat and a feedback forum; could these two forums not be merged? I don’t see a point in having both of them as they are pretty much the same thing anyway.
Moderation: (8/10)
I think the moderation is fairly good. You currently have five staff members and they are broken down into; 2 Moderator, 1 Super Moderator and 2 Administrators, I think that this is a good size of staff to have on your forum bearing in mind the amount of active members and how many posts are on your forums.
Activity: (8/10)
The days that I have been online I see tat there at least3/4 members online at anytime (including myself) which I think is good to have at least a couple of members online, it also gives confidence to new members that the forum is active as there is new threads and posts all the time.
Spelling and Grammar: (10/10)
The spelling and grammar is very good by everyone on the forums, which I think is great that everyone on the forum uses great spelling and grammar.
Overall Mark: (76/100)
I have given your forum a mark of 76 which I think is a decent mark.
You have made a great start you just need to get more active members on your forums and follow some of the suggestions I have given in this review and your site will be a great gaming site.
