Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
The first thing I notice on your forum is it's banner because it is very bright compared to the mellow black of your template. Your banner is unique and I like it but on the other hand it looks a bit unprofessional. It all depends on what you're going for. I am not a big fan of your template either. It is very bulky and large and the sidebar is almost the size of your actual forum. I think a new, brighter theme would do wonders for your forum
🙂 Oh and the chatbox is the most annoying thing ever.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Where the different forums have names like 'Space alley' are a turquoise colour which is very odd blend to the template, if there's any way you can change that I recommend you do. Another thing, in the downloads forum there is a picture of a Cow? Why? It also looks distorted. Get a transparent render of a cow so it doesn't look as unprofessional. On the other hand I like the links you have on the side of your forum. They're extremely helpful.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
Your original stats are okay. Members have made a total of 1,113 posts, 75 members. When I took a look at the board it's a different story. There are usually about 5 posts a day, some forums haven't been posted on in 4 days! Your forum has to be a lot more active to be getting the higher scores. Try some more exchanges and keep on advertising

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Without a reviewer account I can not clearly see who is who. But with a quick look at some posts it seems the only active or staff member is the admin in red. I'm not even sure if the person is the admin because there is no admin rank! You need a rank so members can clearly see who has which powers and who they can call on if they need help. Overall the admin is doing a good job but is pretty inactive.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Your grammar and professionalism isn't very good. The first thing I saw was this 'Side panel' description.
Stereo Wired is a haven for any type of music discussions. Our forum includes voting for Artist Of The Week, Member Made Polls, and a Video List, songs that we recommend you to listen to. Wheter you genre is Hip Hop, Metal, Soul, Pop, or Rock, here is your place to stay.
Wheter should be Whether. This is very unprofessional because it is describing you and the forum. Big turn off. Also remember to have capital letter at the start of sentences and on topics.
