Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I pride myself on being an honest reviewer, so let me say this bluntly and not put any cream on top to soften it up. Your site looks like loads of other sites I have seen all too many times. Same simple board template and theme, maybe with some different colours but seen plenty of red sites. I also see the same old forum topics and subjects as well, as there is nothing new at this forum I have not seen before. So lets take this section by section and see if we can make your site a little more unique.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
To be honest I would start over again, your layout, theme, design and just about everything else could use a make over. The banner up the top doesn’t look unique at all, looks like a 2 minute job in paint, same for the background up the top. But fear not as I’m sure if you look around you will find heaps of graphics forums out there that can give you a hand. In any case I recommend a complete overhaul of your forum, might take a few weeks but will be much better by the time your ready. And I mean everything try for a new banner, theme, colour scheme and maybe add a few more unique sections to your forums arsenal of variety.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
You do have 10 members and about 170 posts on your forum not a bad start, but you could stand to gain more activity. Try a few post exchanges to get more members and activity to your forums, and it would also be a good idea to make sure you don’t have any dead sections on the board. And in all you do make sure you keep the forum active and growing, you and your staff should always be involved on all sections of the board.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Ok firstly let me say you have to many staff members for ten people, you should be the only person who is staff of a board that size. Other then that I can’t see much more wrong with you and your staff, all act with good professionalism and a kind heart towards members. I also notice all members get all the respect they deserve, as it’s nice to see a good group of staff make a forum work like a well oiled machine.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Your writing is not bad, and as a writer I recon you have done a fine job. With your spelling pretty good as I look around the board, in all the topic descriptions and your posts. But your grammar could use a little work, it’s not a bad effort maybe a simple proof read is all it needs for a good fix up. The only other things that I would like to bring your attention to, is your forum’s topic descriptions . I would like to see a little more spice in them, fix them up to say more then what that section does, by adding some flashy one liners or a simple does of comedy to them for a nice touch.

Final Remarks:
Not a bad start to your board, but you have loads of work to do if you want a very popular forum. Hit me up for a follow up review in about a month if you like and we see how you are going.
What was most liked about the website/forums:
Your spelling and grammar is not a bad effort, better then what I see on a lot of boards.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
Your lack of style with your boards theme and colour.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
I would say you need to fix loads of those problems up before I would use the board.
