Brief History:
Roleplay Adventures is a forum for those who want to relax in a creative environment. Free from stress and drama that can easily be found on other forums of the same type. We are all here for one reason, and that is to brainstorm and surround ourselves in imaginative writing. While we welcome all different age groups, the forum maintains a mature and laid back atmosphere. Activity is kept at a steady pace, with the help of the staff who have helped keep the place very organized. It doesn't matter if you are hardcore or new to roleplaying, the forum is open and flexible enough to incorporate all different levels of writing skills.

Originally there was only five different categories to roleplay in. But over the past year we had to adapt to the requests we got for more roleplaying forums. That is why we also have a Battle Arena, Clans & Guilds, and a World Rp below the other roleplay forums. I have seen a lot of success with the Battle Arena and Clans, also the World Rp is under construction but we have a lot of sign ups for it already. Basically each of the roleplay forums are heavily used, and I believe the members appreciate them greatly.

Community Notes:
The staff is broke up into different groups. There is the team that manages the roleplay area, the team that works on interacting with the discussion areas, and the team that welcomes the new members personally. Even though it's difficult we try to message every member that registers to the forum. Since day one the staff has interacted with the members and acted as friendly as possible. We want the members to think of the staff as approachable and not as someone who should be hated or feared.

We still have rules to keep unecessary arguments and personal drama off the forum. It's a necessity to keep guidelines, especially if you want to keep things peaceful and easy going. But you can also find step by step tutorials for joining and creating your own roleplays. We even have several areas where you can chat about the pro's and con's of roleplaying.

Final thoughts:

I would also like to add that there are three Skins / Themes to choose from. Standard , Frost , and Dark. So I think a review on the forum theme layout is unnecessary. Also a reCAPTCHA image is uncessary in the registration process, since ZetaBoards has a special code that confuses spam bots. I can't explain it myself, but it's been a full year and not a single spam bot. If you can give me a full review on the forum structure and organization I would appreciate it. I'm also looking for feed back on anything else you think the forum is lacking. Thank you for taking the time to look over my community. I welcome any criticism, comments, and advice you might have.

Sincerely,

Gabriel Zero

Hey there. Ill be doing your review for you. Please give me a few hours to complete it. If you do not have it within 24 hours, this review is open to any other Review Team member.
 
Sorry I havn't gotten this complete. I forgot I had school today. Give me a about 24 more hours and you will have it done.
 
Appearance (First Impressions): When I first saw the forum, I noted how it was very eye-catchy. It made me scroll all the way down to the bottom. The layout is freat and the appearance is catchy. A catchy appearance is a good way to attract members. I also noted that the ads and the log-in / user pannel was at a very nice spot. If this was your choice or not, great job either way.

Overall mark for Appearance **20/20**

Layout: The layout of the forum is very nice. It also looks very smooth and well layed out. Everything is where it should be and it looks great. One thing I also LOVE about it is that it does not stretch all the way across the screan. A forum like that is too hard to read (at least on the computer that I am on) and gets a little hard to view. I have no suggestions for your forum at the moment.


Overall Score for Layout **20/20**
Number Of Members: Your number of members for a roleplay forum is OUTSTANDING. Personally, I have never seen a roleplay forum that huge. This might possibly be the only review I have written where I did not say "You need to get more members." You are at a great size so far, but you can still grow. Great Job!

Overall Score for Number of Members **10/10**

Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): All of the spam I saw was in its place, and all of the forums were very clean. The posts are nice, neat, and too the point also. Many forums forget to have an off-Topic forum, which leads to spam. You must have an off-topic section to avoid spam. I am assuming that the 'Community Interaction' forum is your off-topic. I also noticed that all of the posts (that I looked at) were very quality posts. Good Job

Overall Score for Number of Posts **10/10**

Moderation: The moderation of the forum is pretty neat. I see that you only have 9 moderators. I suggest hiring about 2 more. Having only 9 Moderators with the ammount of members you have at the moment leaves each moderator moderating more than 150 members. You should hire 1-2 more moderators. Other than that, your moderators currently keep the forum clean, and spamless, theideal role of a moderator. Good job.

Overall Score for Moderation 8/10


Activity: The activity for the forum is pretty high compared to the activity of other roleplay forums I have seen. You have had about 250 members online at one point in time, which is a great achivement. You have great activity, but I would encourage your members to shoot for higher. Give them somthing to look forward to when getting on your forum to make them come more often.

Overall Score for Activity 18/20

Spelling and Grammar: I scanned the spelling and grammar of the forum pretty fast and saw that the forum itself had only a few spelling mistakes, like "dvds" should be "DvD's" but thats about all. I scanned a few of the member's posts and found a few mistakes, altho, you can't be blamed for that. Fix up a few mistakes around your forum and you will be great!

Overall Score for Spelling And Grammar 7/10

Overall Mark (Out Of 100): 93/100.

Additional Info: The forum is awesome. It is the most active roleplay forum I have ever seen!

Suggestions for future additions: All I can suggest is keep on growing!


Best thing liked about the website/forums: The community looked so tight and everyone knew at least 10 others.

How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website? I probably will when I get the time. I love to roleplay!
