Your Forum Review
First Impressions - (Out of 20)
The first thing that I think is "Oh, another dark forum". You might want to go with a little lighter forum. This may be good in your opinion, im just telling you mine. There is no background image, get one. If you can, remove that Welcome message with the friggin huge ad. It gets very annoying. I do love the baner, it looks great to me. The one thing that bothers me is that some of your buttons match the skin, and some go with a simple Phpbb3 Silver skin. You need to get new buttons that all match your skin. You have a good amount to work on to get your forum to the top.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The layout of the site is OK. I have a question for you tho. Why do you have a News and Announcements section WITH a News Blog? I would get rid of one or another If I were you. Also, I think the categories could be changed up just a tad. Like make the "Community" category be second. Unless your forum is all about gaming, that is. Other than that, I don't have much for you about your forum structure.

Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
You have 4670 posts with 92 members. This is Okay, but it can be a lot better. All I can really say is get more members and try to promote your forum a little more. I also see that a lot of your members are inactive. I know people like looking big, but people should like looking active. Randomly do some member purges to get rid of inactive members.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
My Gosh. You are way overstaffed man. You have 2 admins, 2 mods, 2 event staff, and 2 staff. HELLOOO? Are you there? You have 92 members, and many inactive members. You are way overstaffed. I also tell many forums this: Take yourself out of moderator and other staff groups! Let them run themselfs. When you are in a group like that, it makes you look like a dictator.

Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
The spelling and grammar of the forum is spotless. I did not find a problem, exept in a few member posts, but those are not controllable. Just remember to encourage your members to post in correct english and such. It makes your forum look more professional.

Total Score - (Out of 100)
Final Remarks: The forum looks great. At first, I had no idea what it was, so you could give a little discription at the top to help people like me.
What was most liked about the website/forums: The style. If it was light, it would be better tho.
What was disliked most about the website/forums: The staff and the Staff to Member ratio.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website? Help me understand what the forum is about and get me into it. ~razz~
