First Impressions - (Out of 20)
Your website is good at first glance. However that little text at the top in the rectangle area. Is a bit kinda annoying maybe you should find a bigger box as that just reminds me of advertisements. As again this is my "Opinion". However I did enjoy the design with the Disturbed logo for the icons and it seems everything fits your theme you have going. Also some people look at your logo at first glance. (I am one of those people) And I think that it suits and impresses many.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The layout of the website is very nice! And stays onto the subject your using "Disturbed Fan website" Which in my opinion is a very nice small community. However one thing I would look into for the near future is a homepage maybe to post helpful information? Like upcoming concerts,when tickets are open to buying stuff like that. This will in my opinion attract more users to want to stay and check daily. But other than that I cannot complain much on this wonderful website. Very nicely put everything seems to flow with everything in the design ect.. (Scored 19/20)

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
The website seems to be moderated and worked on perfectly in my opinion. You give warnings to your younger users. So that everyone knows what they are about to click before doing so. Also you moderate forum posts and make sure everything is in the right section. Which is always a good thing! I would (Scored 20/20)
Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
The spelling seems to be perfect. I couldn't see anything not spelled correctly. Which is always good SPECIALLY when running a fan site. As you never know how many people you may get to go onto your website. As for the grammar I saw some IMPORTANT topics that are lets say... Not correctly worded. Might want to get onto making sure that everything makes sense before making it public. (Scored 15/20)

Final Remarks:
What was most liked about the website/forums:
I liked how you didn't just choose some random design that had nothing to do with the subject you are running, And instead found something that matched the subject you are running.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
I thought that it was a downfall not having a homepage for more information about the band. This may attract more users to your website.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
Probably adding a homepage for me to gain more information. Maybe fan information too stuff that you can and cannot find on the official website.
Thanks for the review. As there are currently no up to date fansites out there, and the official website doesn't have much info, I may add a portal or something like that that has more info (as a registered member, you can access the FAQ that has a lot of info about the band, and the calander has tour dates, but I should add more things).
