Pros:
Finally a gaming forum that uses a light theme. Although the theme ain't great and can be improved as it doesn't give that gaming feel as most gaming forums do, you could try adding characters to the banner, work upon the background image or work upon general theme effects. I liked the forum icons and post icons. Statistics are okay but the levels could boost if both administrator promote their back side off. It is also nice to see it hosted on phpBB instead of myBB or zetaBoards, but do you use any good gaming modifications?


Cons:
Banner can be worked upon, the font doesn't go and the drop shadow going upwards ain't great, it doesn't give a lively feelings. Also I can't read your favicon, an animated one may be better for the likes of three word abbreviations. As said statistics are okay, but I expected about 400 more topics as gaming is a bi category to discuss. I suggest you add some more categories like gaming review and news, game developing, game of the week. Also I suggest you move achievements from general discussion forum as it ain't big and it is dead. You two should both promote like never before as the forum is dead and doesn't look like you have any post's today.
