Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
As I first enter your site, I see your excellent banner. Good call here, definitely a great looking banner.
I notice a big sign saying " Advertise here " this is a no-no. Guests will feel you're only in the forum running business for money and don't care about the users.
Other than that, the first impressions and appearance of your site are pretty top notch and if I was an apple fanatic, I would be inclined to join.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Your layout isn't too shabby. Instead of naming your introductions board " Welcome " perhaps call it " Introduce yourself " or something to that effect, " Welcome " doesn't really represent an introductions board.
I would also suggest moving your " gaming " board and making it a sub forum of Entertainment, as gaming is a type of entertainment and taking up less boards and leaving more room is always a plus.
Other than that, your layout is fine.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
You've got a little too many. 2 admins and 2 global mods is fine for now. Don't pick up anymore staff for a while.
I would also suggest that you have your staff be a tad bit more active, and delete some of the unnecessary groups from showing in the legend ( ie the " Team " Group ).

Final Remarks:
You are one of the few forums that got over a 90 from me. I am a very hard and honest reviewer, and from what I can tell from your site you are doing great and are running things amazingly. Other than what i suggested ( minor board naming and placement concerns ) I can't really suggest anything else other than how much I will stress you get a .COM domain rather than .CO.UK, .COM is a lot easier to remember and will stretch to an audience throughout the world, not only the UK.
What was most liked about the website/forums:
The banner, dedication of your staff, and your professionalism.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
Placement of the " Gaming " category in it's own board, and naming of the Introduction area to " Welcome "
