First Impressions - (Out of 20)
Visiting your website for the first time, Was very nicely organized and very nicely chosen (Style/layout) I also enjoyed the logo and such.. Also in my opinion having a "Portal" is not really needed unless you are a big website. Overall though you brought my attention to your website. One thing I would change is maybe add a bit more to the portal if you are going to keep it up. Because it is a bit plain and boring to be honest, I think that a portal should be filled with information, That is going to either draw newly visiting people like myself or give information on new contests ect.. Nice job though your website definitely brought attention to me on first glance.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The layout is unique! I noticed a couple things that made me confused though. The style you are running on the "Actual forum" is kinda hard to read were the sections are. I strongly suggest maybe fixing that problem. Like it feels that everything is melted into each other. (Which is not good in my opinion) In this situation. Other than that the logo is nicely made, And I enjoy the colors you used. I think that you have a very unique website going for yourself! Also quick note that I noticed is that you have YET to change your copyrights, This irritates me STRONGLY, Because if your not going to put the date like (c) 2008 then just put (C) Company name. This makes me think that you are no longer caring for the website if you leave it at (C)1999-2007 As its out dated by two years. But other than that keep up the good work. ~cool~

Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
Well for only being open for I think its around 4 weeks now? You are doing a good speed of achievements and moving around very FAST! Which is always good for a growing community, However you don't have too many active members on at once, This makes people like me not want to join or be a part of a "Dead community" So you might want to find some more ways to get your users to stay for a bit longer each day.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
As much as I could see, I saw that your staff is doing a decent job alerting the members when ever their is a update, And such I also noticed that topics do get locked when needed, Basically NICE JOB! (Scored 20/20)
Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
The spelling and grammar seems to be fairly well, I saw some important posts that could of been taken a bit more serious, So you might want to look into this matter, Because I always enjoy a website that their staff can give "Serious" Discussions and topics. And most importantly "Information!"

Final Remarks:
What was most liked about the website/forums:
I liked how unique you are trying to be as of right now! Keep this up it's always good to see a website make their own way to the top.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
Defiantly the way everything melts together, Meaning the forum category's melting with the forums itself. Also the the copyrights ARE NOT up to date.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
Well, You could get me by basically reading my "Final Remarks" above. Really changing the melting into each other design, And the copyrights/portal basically, Other than that NICE job and I hope that this review helped you understand your improving points and basically helped you in the long run and feel good about yourself!
Thanks for choosing ForumPromotion for your reviews!
