First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
-I don’t think the forum has a very snazzy look. I like the orange on white/gray look, but other than that it’s just plain. The banner is nice but the rest of that portion is just blank. It looks silly. I’d suggest filling that space up with a larger banner or use that space for forum services.
-The forum is clean, I’ll give it that. There don’t seem to be any issues in the theme, forums, etc.
-The Christmas themed banners put me in the Christmas mood, but maybe changing up the forum colors to something more Christmassy would be a cool idea.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
-Other than the fact that I think having the banner larger or using the rest of that space for services, I think the header portion of the site looks great.
-The forum menu only has important links, not ads or useless information. It’s good that you’re keeping things clean and prioritized.
-I think the Review service should be listed right after the Posting service. Not because it’s like that on FP, but because they both require a member to sit down and do a bit of writing.
-The rest of the layout is great. The scrolling ads in the footer don’t seem to be in a great place to get traffic, but at least they aren’t in the middle of the forum annoying everyone.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
-Considering the forum is a little less than two months old, these statistics are very good.3300 posts and 125 members is a great number for a short period of time. A promotion forum has the potential for more posts, but you are doing well so far.
-Activity varies. Some forums are very active, but then you have a few that haven’t been posted in for about a week. Getting more topics will solve this problem.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
-Being a member of the forum, I can be sure to say that the staff does a great job. They handle threats, comments, feedback and requests very well and professionally. You have a great group of staff who are a credit to the forum.
-I don’t think having so many forum groups is a good idea. Beta Testers is a useless group to me. Admins and other staff members should always be considered as beta testers anyway. I also don’t see the need for two separate admin groups. I’m not sure what the difference is, but that seems silly to me.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
-In the description of Terminal, remove the comma.
-In the description of Review Station, remove the first comma only.
-In the description of Home Page Links, remove the comma.
-There aren’t many grammatical mistakes on the forum and the forum is nothing short of professional.
