Your Forum Review




First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)

On the real, your ofurm has been improving on each time i visit. You didn't just create your forum,. and leave it at that. You've been adding little touchupos and improvements that seem to go a long way. Your banner has always been one of my favorite charcteristics of your forum. It really sets the mood on what to expect.

The colors are very vivid throughout the theme. Gives it some kind of twilight realm feeling. I'm just loving the green on black! The board icons work brilliantly , as well. As do the new/old post icons. You've really dona an amazing job dressing the forum up, nicely.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)

We've been down this road, many times. And, now, you seem to have it down pact. Perfectly organized from top to bottom. And with not so many boards cluttered up in each category. Honestly, not much i can critique on, in this section.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)

Your current stats are doing really good. You've achieved a great member count, and posts are doing fair in comparison.

Though, I remember seeing much more members logged on, than before, over the 72 hour period. Remember, try to keep things fresh, for members and staff. There's plenty of general discussion forums out there; it's the one with the most interesting and fresh content that's going to be doing well in activity.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)

This isn't looking to good, bud. In the last 72 hours, you've only had one moderator on the forum that has been active. You, yourself, seem to have gone missing. And have been missing out on members, due to the having to manually activate accounts, enabled for the forum.

You forum has a decent amount of activity, and with only 2 staff on the forum, I believe that may be hurting your stats, soon. Try to get at least one more staff member, who can be dedicated, and active, to help activity grow, and can help moderate the activation for new members.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)

You've always had a very precise way of entertaining me, when i read through your board descriptions. Very nice way you put them together. Nothing is mispelled, and there are only "minor" grammar mistakes, that most won't catch.

The one thing, that always bugs me, is the generic names most forums give their categories. You should try to give them some character. Like under MAIN, just throw in The Broader Discussions. And OTHER, try The Broad Intellects. Just use creative ways to get catchy category titles out there, it helps to personalize the forum, even more.

Aha! Just found this one, up in the header meassge, up top. ... and discuss anything from media to sport, the news and more! should read, ... and discuss anything from the media, sports, news and more! 🙂

Final Remarks:

What was most liked about the website/forums:

The overall theme. It really has a great look.

What was disliked most about the website/forums:

The absense of the admin, and only one staff online in 72 hours.

How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?

I'm a member, but i'm just not too active on general discussion forums. It's a great forum, no doubt. I just have way too much going on to be a dedicated, and active member, myself. 🙁
