Website Design & Appearance
After taking some time to review and examine your forum, I would have to say one of the biggest attractions to your site and one of the biggest things you benefit from your site is the design & overall look of your forum. From the colorful layout to the creative design. Looking more into the design, there are just so many things going well for your site right now. The font that you are using for your site seems very simple but it is still a good font to be using. Basic can always be good and there is nothing wrong with that. The banner text stands out right as you visit the site from the get-go so there is no real need to have an icon next to the text to make it stand out since it already stands out so well and it blends in perfectly with the background. The only suggestion I have for your site would have to be the favicon image, your theme looks so stunning but the favicon threw me off a bit just because it looked like an old one and didn't really look as the theme does. Needless to say it still works and it is more then some sites have. Overall, I would have to say that your site design is one of the biggest strengths of SHF so now, lets move onto the 2nd strength of your site.
Site Statistics
Looking at your site statistics I was very impressed with how well the stats were doing for such a young site such as SHF. It has only been around for 2 months and already has a total member count of 103 which is 51.5 members per month which is more then 1 per day. This is a great sign for a new site that is just starting up and still working hard. This is also a key sign to me that you are working hard to make sure that the site does well and that you are taking time to make it more successful. Looking at the content part of your statistics, you have a total of 1,417 posts and 394 threads which is again great for a young site. With almost 400 threads and near 1.5K posts, this will give all visiting guests and returning members something to read and post their thoughts or opinions on and will give them more of a reason to either join or stay if they haven't already joined your site. Overall, there is really not much I can say about your statistics that hasn't already been said other then to keep up the great work and that you are doing well so far and to not give up. So now, let's move onto the weaknesses of your site before wrapping up this review.
Weaknesses:
Number of Categories & Forums
The one and only weakness that I could pick from your site that I really felt could use some work was the amount of categories & forums that you have on your site at the moment. You have a total of 3 categories but about 6 per category other then the announcement one that is at the top. Why not try mixing some stuff up and making more specific categories and spreading the forums into those specific categories. This will not only help with spreading out your forums to make the site look bigger, but it will also help in developing an even more professional look to your site and will also help with keeping things organized and lastly it will help the members be able to find topics that they may be interested with ease and won't have to do a lot of searching for it. In the end this will take a lot off of your back and will ultimately be a huge benefit to the community and to yourself in the long run. As for the category names, why not make them a little more unique to SHF instead of just using "Main Forum" and "Off Topic" as the names of the categories. Look around on some other sites if you don't know what to name them, there are many places that might be able to give you a good idea as to what you could rename them too and you might find some good ones that will influence your own unique names. Overall, this was the only weakness that I could really see in your site so I felt I should take the time to discuss it with you. So now that we have covered both the strengths and weaknesses of your site, let's wrap up this review with my final remarks and statements.
Final Remarks:
SHF was a great site to get to review really. It was a great experience to get to see a site such as this, sure I have seen the software you are using before but I would never have guessed it was MyBB thanks to the theme which is a good thing in my eyes. It shows how unique and creative your site is when you can't tell what software you are using thanks to the creative design of the site itself. Overall, the site seems to be doing well for itself and it was a joy to get to review your site and I was glad to be able to do the review. I hope that you enjoy your review and I do apologize for your wait.
