XTREME PLANET REVIEWED BY SUBZ​


First Impressions - (Out of 20)
When I 1st saw the forums, I didn’t like the banner, I could barely read the text in the banner. I would suggest getting a new one created from the graphic request forum once it comes back online. i would make it fit the width of the forum because it the moment it doesn’t and i don’t think it looks very professional, it looks like a little kid just quickly made that in Photoshop. The banner should be a great image as that is the 1st thing people see when they go to your forums.

Having a fixed width is fine but not when there is an informational panel on the left like you have got, I would suggest making your width to 100% that way when people make posts that are long it doesn’t stretch the page.

(Scored 7/20)

Site Layout - (Out of 20)

You seem to have a lot of forums some are unneeded and could be merged and some I am not sure why they are there as they have 0 posts in them, which is not good to see for an active forum, there should be at least one for two posts in a forum so people know what the forum is about and will be more likely to contribute to that forum if there is threads and posts in there than having to be the first person to make a topic in an empty forum.

The forums I would merge are;

General Gadgets category into the phone and pda’s forum.

I would do this because it’s not a big subject and does need its own category. This will also give you a few less forums, there is no point having a forum for a subject it’s going to get less than 10 topics.

Rules & Other Important Points can be merged with News and announcements

I don’t think there needs to be two forums for this, you can just make the rules and other important info as a sticky or an announcement in that forum.

Feedback/Suggestion & Help and Support

I would just combine the feedback and support forums as they can both be posted in the same forum rather than having two forum as people may get confused and not sure where to post there thread.

Introductions

I would move the introductions to the forum overview category as that’s the first category your new members will see and can introduce themselves to the forum once they have read the news and announcements about your forum.

Testing Area

I would move the testing area to the old topics and garbage area, but would rename garbage to archive as it looks and sounds better than calling a forum of topics garbage.

I would also move the guests lounge to the testing area and say in the forum description that guests can post here.

Tips, Tweakz and trix

I would move these merge these forum with the gadgets and computer forums as I don’t think there needs to be a separate forum for category and forum just for tips, tweaks and tricks.

Technology Planet and Gamers Life

These two forums should really be merged as they are about the same thing and there is no reason to have two forums of the same thing.

Graphics Section & codes and coding

I would merge these two forums and call it computer Arts and graphics and just make a graphic request forum inside the computer arts forum as you will get more people posting on computer arts than posting just codes.


(Scored 4/20)

Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
You have 80 members registered, 352 topics and 1682 posts (a time of posting this review).

For the amount of members you have and the amount of forums you currently got I would of expected you to have double the amount of posts you currently got.

What I would do to improve your current statistics is;

Advertise on a number of promotional forums and using all there services like banners ads, packages, link jumble (some forums do other this) post and member exchange. Just do everything just to get your link out there and what you offer and then people will start joining and posting.

(Scored 6/20)

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
There is currently 6 staff members on yours forums, this is a good number considering your have 80 members but I’m not sure you need a second admin on the forums and there is not a lot of active members posting in my opinion.

Your forum looks well moderated but that maybe because your forum is overstaffed for the amount of active members you have and the amount of posts a day you get from members of the forum (not including staff).

(Scored 12/20)

Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
The spelling and grammar on the forum categories is terrible, you need to use proper English and not slang or text speech, your forum currently looks very unprofessional even when the main admin is posting he is using shortened words and text speech and from the admin this is not suitable and would suggest you posting in proper English and then that will encourage other staff to follow as you’re the leader of the staff team.

I believe that if the staff are posting in correct English then the members are more likely to do it otherwise they will look a bit odd and silly posting in text or slang speech when everyone else is speaking in proper English.

(Scored 3/20)

Total Score - (32/100)

Final Remarks:

There is a lot of improvements you need to make to your forums but I would like to see to see what your forums look like and how the activity is after reading and implementing a few or all of my ideas. I’m sure you will see activity improve by quite a lot.

I noticed in the general discussion forum all the topics in that forum are forum games, I would suggest making some new topics that add content and discussion and if you did that then people are more likely to post more and be more active.

What was most liked about the website/forums:

I liked the style of the forums and the left panel.

What was disliked most about the website/forums:

I disliked the banner, the use of excessive forums and the spelling and grammar.


How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?

If you get a new banner, improve the overall spelling and grammar of the staff members posting on the forums and merge some of the forums I mentioned in my review then there

the second admin is my friend! and first registered user of forum! i am NOT going to demote him!
