We actually prefer members would just give us the direct link to their forum. Not the portal page. I'm also confused on where the actual forum is.
 
Irviding and hcf, if you go to the lounge forum, the home link there goes to the link he provided here. So I would assume swapitshop lounge is indeed his site.
I would double check though first just to make sure he is requesting a forum review instead of a website review.
 
Well, that's why under the request template, it says "Forum Link"; so we can get a direct link to the forum, not the portal. It just makes things much easier.

But, i see what you mean sshare, seems that is the correct forum Irviding found. It would have just eliminated alot of confusion with the forum link, instead.

First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I'm absolutely blown away when I first visit the forum. The skin is a one of a kind, and it really would convince me to join right away.

As I scroll down I don't see any appearance issues at all. The entire board is well organized and the appearance is just amazing. I do not notice any problems here, if I were a guest that wants to try to expedite selling their item on swapitshop, I would come here RIGHT away and register without any hesitation.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
I am not noticing a lot of problems in this section at all. Perhaps you should consider making your first section have " News and Updates " first, then have Introduce yourself.. like so:

Category: Welcome
--Board: Announcements & News
--Board: Introduce Yourself

The swaps area looks perfect, as does free swaps, and swap it shop.

As for General, I suggest that you make Education, News, and Debates a subforum of Chat Section because it doesn't seem like Education News and Debates is doing to well in terms of posts and topics.

And, the last category, I suggest that you delete, and move " Its Your View " to the top, and put it inbetween " Announcements and News " and " Introduce Yourself " and then make Report central a subforum of It's Your View.
That last category really just clutters things up and creates unneeded and untidy extra space...

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
The board was founded back in early 2007 and you have a total of over 650,000 posts and almost 18,000 members. You aren't doing anything wrong at all with advertising and promotion. Keep up whatever you're doing because it's working for you 🙂

(Scored 20/20)

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
From what I can see you have a pretty large amount of staff who are all very active and always welcome new members and answer members feedback/complaints/reports. Perfect score in this area.

(Scored 20/20)

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Not seeing any problems other than some capitalization errors in your Education News and Debate description. Here is what it is :

Talk about school life, homework help or Share your thoughts and opinions on Current Affairs, Politics and Religion etc. here.

It should be:

Talk about school, request homework help, or share your thoughts and opinions on current affairs politics and religion here.

(Scored 19/20)

Total Score - 95 (Out of 100)


Final Remarks:
Your board is really just exceptional, probably one of the best or even the best one I've reviewed before. A 95 is the highest grade I've ever given a forum, so you can give yourself a pat on the back 🙂
What was most liked about the website/forums:
The activity, the appearance and design, and the board organization.

What was disliked most about the website/forums:
Having a whole extra category at the bottom when you can just have one board in your first category.

How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
I'm not an internet seller or swapper, but if I was, I would go right for your site already.

Thanks, and I'm sorry about the link. I was rushing as I needed to go somewhere and forgot to add "lounge" to it. 🙂
