First Impressions:
My first impression of your forum is kind of.....meh. I mean, it's not on the niche` of the forum or the way it's laid out or anything else. It's the lack of graphics on your forum. There is nothing about the design quality that tells me I need to join your forum. There's too much blank wide empty space on both sides of the forum and I would suggest putting in a background, at least, to make your forum stick out better. If you are planning on having a "theme" made for your forum, then that will work as well. But I would at least change that background so it doesn't blend in with your forum.
Poor
Site Structure:
I like the way your forum is laid out. The descriptions for each section tell me exactly what can be discussed there. The only thing that has me curious is the "Archive Board". Usually most forums will keep that somewhere where members can't normally see it. Now, I'm not saying you should do everything that everyone else does by any means. I just think that in order to keep the forum looking tidy and neat, that that area should be put away from public viewing. I especially don't like the fact that it's right there at the very top of the forum where everyone can see it as they first enter your forum.
Good
Activity Level:
At the time of this review, you had 327 threads and 1,189 posts. That's not bad for your forum that you re-opened on June 4th. I know you have been doing some exchanges with other members on FP so I won't suggest that. But I would suggest that you request a package or two from the
Package Team, in addition to the exchanges you've already been doing. You might also want to consider boosting traffic to your forum using some form of social media. Whether you use Twitter or Facebook or anything else, I think it surely wouldn't hurt your forum to use social media to your advantage.
Average
Thing you liked best about forum: The way the forum was laid out.
Thing you liked least about forum: The graphics on the forum (or lack thereof).
Overall Mark:
I think you have a good forum at the Off-Topic Hub but I also think there is room for improvement as well. I wish you the best of luck, both for you and your forum.
