Hi, Sorry about the long wait since your request.
Number Of Members: For the time your forum has be running you member total is very low especially for an advertising forum. Ad forums usually attract users easily. I think i know a reason why your member total is low because i was a victim of it (your account pruning) but to the normal person it will look very low and i can only rate on how many members you have now not what you would have had. (4/10)
Number Of Active Members: Most of your users have posts but alot of them don't have many posts per account. There is only 12 members with 10 or above which for a forum that has been running for aslong as yours you should really be having a few more then that. You have 8 users online over the last 24 hours which is reasonable although could and maybe should be better (6/10)
Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): At the time of writing this review you forum has 423 posts which considering your forum has been running since the end of August is a bit disappointing but it is slowly growing which is a good sign. The first 1000 posts is the hardest to get then after that it becomes alot easier to build more posts. (6/10)
Appearance (First Impressions): At first glance the colours and the style looks appealing although the first thing i was attracted to and my eyes locked onto was the gaps either side of the logo (see
HERE) As you can see from the screen shot i could really see anything of the forum as the banner took up over half my screen. Another issue i have found if the background of the random banners being a different colour to the rest of the style and it doesn't fit in properly and it causes it to look abit odd and out of place in my opinion. On a positive note the style does look good and clean and the addition of the forum icons make it different and a bit more interesting to look at. (13/20)
Layout: I am not really a fan of the layout of the first few forums under the "General" category. I feel that these would look better as proper forums rather then all as one like it is and i find it easier to use and it does just look better too. Other then that the layout looks fine although i would recommend hiding or getting rid of the trash forum as it is not good for users to look at. (15/20)
Moderation: You have a good number for a forum your size but the activity of your forums staff is a massive let down. Joker has 2 posts and CHv has 3 posts. These have a negative effect on your forum an having inactive staff doesn't benefit your forum. You have 1 global moderator although his activity i would keep an eye on also. He does have more posts then the other 2 mentioned above but there are many more active and deserving members. (5/10)
Activity:I feel your forum is active although not as active as it should be for a forum that has been running as long as your has. It might be best to not only get suggestions from reviews but also maybe ask your members what they think could be done to improve your forum. This has 2 effects. 1) Makes the forum better for everyone and 2) shows you care about your users and if they feel cared for and listened to they will stay active so it benefits in 2 ways. (5/10)
Spelling and GrammarThere are a few mistakes i have picked up on
"Inroductions" instead of the introductions forum
"Want to Announce Something Happened In Your Forum ?" doesn't make sense.
Also there seems to be a problem with capital letters. Capitals should only really be used for the first letter of the sentence and for names and so on. It should not be used for every word of every sentence like "Want To Recruit Staff ?"If you do want to use capitals for every word make sure it is consistent. Some only have the first letter as a capital "Request to affiliate with us or any other
forum promoted here." and some have a mix "Request an Ad To Be Sent to all members by e-mail.". Having a mix makes it stand out even more.
(2/10)
Overall Mark: I feel there could be quite a few improvements made which i have mentioned above. Additionally not deleting people accounts because they haven't visited in a week is a bit unfair and annoys people and makes them not bother about your forum (like me). Make a few changes, improve the spelling and grammar and promote the forum hard and it should build the activity on your forum. (56/100)
Good luck with the forum and again sorry about the wait -
