Your Forum Review
First Impressions - (Out of 20)
Your forum is a pleasure to look at on first arrival. It's got a really nice shade of green, the text is easy to read, everything looks great. Oh, and your banner is awesome. I love the reflection on the "The art of magic discussion" part. Everything is presented in a good way, I didn't notice anything difficult to read or understand on your index. The only issue is some of the grammar could be improved. I'll talk more about that later. (It's something that could be fixed very easily, so don't worry about it.) Overall though, my first impression on your forum was a good one.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Really nice phpBB theme. Like I mentioned above, everything is layed out great. Your rules link is at the top of the forum view, which I liked. Your forum layout is done just fine, everything looks organized. All the icons on your theme look nice, they have a glossy look to them which I like. Sometimes green is a tricky color to work with, but your forum pulled it off just fine. Also, the staff icons look really nice. I do have one complaint though. Your moderators have the exact same username color as regular members. That really confused me for a second. I was like, "Surely these people can't all be mods." I would suggest changing the color of either mods or regular users to something else so they can be distinguished easier. Other than that though, your theme/layout looks fine.

Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
You have 506 posts and 25 members. That's a pretty good member to post ratio. Those numbers aren't bad either for a one month old forum. They could certainly be improved, but your forum seems fairly active. Most forums have posts posted in them from one or two days ago. None of your forums are empty, which I was really impressed with, though some of them are really low on posts. I think that should improve once you get more members though. The only forum that seems to be in a severe need of more posts would be the "Feedback on magic videos" forum.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
I couldn't get the exact amount, but from what I see you have 4 or so staff members. You're extremely overstaffed in that case. The most I would suggest for a forum with the statistics of yours would be you and maybe one co-admin OR a moderator. 4 staff members is certainly overkill at your forum. I can understand wanting someone else to help out, but 3 others I can't imagine your forum needing.

Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
It isn't horrible by any means, but it could definitely be improved. On your index, your forum descriptions have quite a few errors. For example, "if your a new member say hello, we will welcome you" should be, "If you're a new member, say hello. We will welcome you." Also, a bunch of your forums are like this, "chat about all coin magic is." You need to capitalize the first word in all the sentences like these. The final common error I see is that some of your forum descriptions lack periods at the end. Oh, and you might want to consider capitalizing B in "battles", which is an actual forum. On the forum itself, your staff's punctuation isn't bad, but you're still lacking spaces, periods, etc. It's not spelling that your forum has issues with, it's grammar.

Final Remarks:
What was most liked about the website/forums: The theme is really nice. Also the community seems friendly.
What was disliked most about the website/forums: Not much, you just need to stop hiring staff and improve the grammar.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website? Give me more than 24 hours in a day, haha.
