Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance
When I first visited your forum, my first impression was amazing. It really encouraged me to join. You have a nice attractive blue theme. As well as your default theme you also have a mobile theme which is great, I visit forums on my phone all the time, I’m sure this will be really handy for your members. Your banner is just plain white text, I think this could be improved. You could pay someone FP$ to make one for you. Your favicon looks great as well, it is your forums initials, simple and easy so it easily stands out in bookmarks. Your board icons for new replies etc are okay, they match the theme well, but you could get some custom for your forum. It could say GF or something that would suit your forum. Other than your banner there isn’t much that needs improving. Keep up the good work.

Site Layout
I see you have 15 boards, which is a good amount for a forum of your size. This is where I would usually say you need to merge boards but I think you have done a great job with the layout. There are still some things you could change, though. I think you should move Introductions up to the headquarters. Also, I really like the idea of having to get 15 posts before being able to access the lounge. This is something I have not seen before, and encourages members to stay on topic. I don’t think you need a sub board for video tutorials yet, there are only 4 topics total I think this should be added when you have a few more. Other than that your layout is really good, well done.

Statistics and Activity
You opened August 8th 20011, almost 2 weeks ago, and since then you have managed to accumulate 900 posts with 83 members. This is great! This gives members an average of only 11 posts per member though, which could be better. Getting so many members in such a short amount of time is really good though, you just need them to post more. Many of your members don’t have a single post. To improve this, you could try a posing contest which should encourage people to get their post counts up. Other than that you have done a great job advertising and getting people to join.

Staff Moderation
According from the moderating team page, you have 2 staff members, I see you have 1 administrator, and 1 moderator. I feel this is perfect for a forum of your size until it grows. You have 1/6 of the total posts which is great, it shows you are dedicated. You moderator also has a very high number of posts, even more than you, which is great. You both are posting around professionally. You have done a great job selecting your staff. Keep up the good work!

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
Your board descriptions are okay, I don’t see many spelling mistakes but I feel they could be a bit longer. They’re not bad I just think they could be more detailed. I noticed you have a Nintendo board, but the other gaming boards are Xbox and Playstation. I think you should change them to Sony and Microsoft to match Nintendo. Your staff are posting around with good grammar and professionalism which is great because you are an example for your members.
