First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)

The first thing I notice is not good. Your banner spells your forum’s name wrong, with is the absolute worst thing you can do on a banner. Your URL is http://www.allawesomeness.com, but your banner reads “All Awesomenes.” That needs to be fixed. Second, should I go get my sunglasses? Seriously, your forum is amazingly bright. Everything is like a shade of hot pink, with a white background, and you post in red text. Am I the only one that sees a problem there? I will say there is one thing I like. I like your navigation buttons. They fit the theme (although I don’t like the theme), and they’re easy to understand.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)

First things first, why do you have two chat boxes? You’ve got one on the side, and then one at the bottom. Also, do you even have enough activity to justify a shoutbox? The entire time I was logged in, nobody else was on the shoutbox. That takes up quite a bit of space, too. One thing I did like about your layout is placing your affiliate button on the side. That’s a good way to put it out there in a non-obnoxious way. One thing that annoys me about the side though is the latest topics thing moves. Moving things on a site is typically a no-no. As far as your actual forum layout, I do like how it’s categorized on the index, so there aren’t a bunch of forums displayed. Your forums are laid out fairly well. You do have quite a few forums, however. That’s the only problem with that. One thing I would avoid doing is putting current events in your forum names and descriptions. Those will become outdated very quickly.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)

I can tell this is going to be the best part of your review. In 4 months or so, you have about 6,000 posts. This is pretty good. Also, 100+ members is good. That's always an exciting achievement. 🙂 Your forums have fairly even posts, though your contests forum is basically empty. A lot of posts are made by your staff, though. I think you're slowly building a member base, though. I don't usually say this, but I think we're going to have to wait and see. It's getting good so far, though, as far as activity goes.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)[/b]
First off, what is with having 5 admins and 3 global mods? A forum of your size should never have that much staff. One of your admins hasn't been on in nearly a month. Another one hasn't been on in nearly a week. One of your mods has only 6 posts and hasn't been on in like a week. Why in the world are you hiring mods with so little posts? I would never suggest taking in anyone as staff with under 100 posts. Your staff team, as a whole, really needs to work on your spelling and professionalism.

"affiliates
. If you have or know of a website looking for afflicts then tell them about Awesome. See down on the side of the screen that it has the log in, log out the side with a smilies, the side with widgets on it....you know that side. Well if you look down under the recent opsts (its the stuff thats scrolling) you'lll see little buttons thta have other sites names on them. you must have one of them ready to get it these


please reply to this topic, or PM me to apply. everyone who meats the conditions will be accepted.
i don't care what size the afflict button is as long as it isnt THAT big
"
This announcement is really pretty much unreadable.

Posts like this are made by your staff
"prob

Wii fit and Wii fit Plus!"

That REALLY needs a boost. Staff should set an example, not need one.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)[/b]
There are so many spelling and grammar errors, I couldn’t even begin to tell you them all. I’ll try to point out quite a few, so you have an idea of what to look for. First of all,
“Hadi Earthquake....____ got put in jail today......Global Warming...” If you’re going to talk about an event, you should probably spell the country right. This should be, “Haiti Earthquake, ____ got put in jail today, global warming, etc.”
“The Earth will end in 2012!" "No it won't!" "yes it will" "Why do you think that?"” Well, this one hardly describes the forum, but if you’re keeping it, it should be, “The Earth will end in 2012!" "No it won't!" "Yes it will!" "Why do you think that?"”
“Chat with people who have he same interests as you!” should be, “Chat with people who have the same interests as you!”
Also, don’t use the ellipsis (…) for lists. Use a comma.
“Talk about football...Feild Hockey...” should be, “Talk about football, field hockey, etc.”
“When your new go on and introduce yourself to everyone!” should be, “When you’re new, go on and introduce yourself to everyone!”
“Talk about the latest Computer, Ipad...” should be, “Talk about the latest computers, the iPad, etc.”
These are just a few of the errors. Use those examples to fix the other ones.
