Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance
When a potential user visits your forum, you want them to have fantastic first impressions. I wouldn't say my first impressions were fantastic, but they were actually pretty good. There is always room for improvement though, and I will try my best to help you turn these good first impressions to fantastic first impressions. First of all, I must say that I really like your forum's logo. It is simple, but it looks really nice. Next, I like your favicon. It matches up with your logo and your forum's color scheme, that is great. Last but certainly not least, I like your color scheme, but the theme in particular still seems like the default prosilver theme. Sure, there have been many edits made, but I think more edits need to be made. When I visit SupaPost, I still get the default phpBB feeling, if you know what I mean. I especially get the feeling when I see your menu. Your menu looks way too default, you have edited just about everything else, why not the menu as well? Overall, I had pretty good first impressions, and I like your forum's overall appearance.

Site Layout
Your forum has a total of sixteen boards. Your forum is still pretty young, so I think it would help your forum if you were to remove a board or two. Your forum is a promotion forum, it's the type of forum genre that requires many boards; I understand that, but there are still a few boards that could be removed. First off, what is the point of having a board up for a service when the service is offline? It says the Package Program and Graphics Program are offline, so if they're offline, it would make much more sense to hide the boards. Like it is now, it looks like two inactive boards that are taking up space and making the length of your forum longer. There's also the Bundle Program, it is still marked as "Coming Soon," as it has been for awhile now. I think you should hide the board until you are ready to open up the service. Finally, I think you should do a bit of work on the off-topic section; the "Off the wall" category. You should consider removing the "Graphic Discussion" board, it hasn't had a post in it for over a week, and the board hasn't been that active ever really. Nonetheless, I love your unique layout. It's creative!

Statistics and Activity
Your forum has managed to accumulate 3,682 posts, 368 topics, and 40 members so far. Your forum has only been open since June 4th, so your forum is only about a month and half old, yet your forum is doing great. Well done. With only 40 members, I am sensing that you and the rest of the community needs to do more advertising of SupaPost. I expect most promotion forums to be past 40 members when they are your forum's age. I think a referral contest would really be great in your forum's case, but make sure there is no cheating, because if there is cheating, it obviously won't be an effective contest. Your forum has a couple inactive boards, you should try your best to keep all your boards active, which I know can get difficult when it comes to service boards, etc. Overall, nice statistics and pretty good activity!

Staff Moderation
From what I can see based off "The team" page, your forum has six staff members. There are two "Management" staff members, who I assume are administrators, two packagers, one designer, and one moderator. That's a fair staff setup considering the current state of your forum. I think two administrators is unnecessary, your forum is young, I would think that one administrator should be fine. The one moderator seems pretty nice, this person is the moderator team leader. If you are going to have team leaders, you should have at least one team member for each group though. So, I think you should go ahead and add a regular moderator member and a regular designer member. Your forum is named "SupaPost," so of course you have packagers. By the looks of it though, the packagers are only being active on SupaPost right now, they're not completing packages. Is this because the service is offline? There is one package request that is in progress, but the requester has been forced to wait for a few days. You should probably work on improving the package program. Overall, staff moderation seems to be going well.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
You and the rest of the staff team seem to be posting around professionally. All six staff members use great spelling and grammar. There's nothing I like more about a forum than a professional staff team, kudos to your staff team for that. I did notice a few spelling and grammar mistakes though. First of all, in the "Front Desk" board description, "announcement" needs to be "announcements." Secondly, one board in the "Service Programs" category says "Bundle Porgram," it needs to be "Bundle Program." Thirdly, on the rules page, the A.4 rule has a misspelling. It says "administrtors," it needs to be "administrators." Fourthly, on that same page, the A.7 rule has a misspelling. "Sole" needs to be "sold." Next, on the same page, the B.2 rule has a couple misspellings. "Dugs" needs to be "drugs" and "ect" needs to be "etc." Finally, on the same page, the B.4 rule has a couple misspellings. "Dugs" needs to be "drugs" and "ect" needs to be "etc," once more. Overall, pretty going spelling and grammar for the most part.

Final Remarks
Strong Points
The creativity of your board titles/descriptions and the statistics/activity of your forum.
Things to Improve
The spelling/grammar all around the forum (especially on the rules page) and customizing the prosilver theme more to make it look even less default.
