Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
When visiting your forum for the first time I began to enjoy it as it gives the guests & members the easy enjoyable feeling that most forums should give. However I did begin to notice that you have a ton of forum sections which makes your forums longer than needed. I'm sure you could squeeze some of the sections into child forums of some sort. The logo could be stretched further along the "header" area. But it does look great how it is just giving a suggestion.
The background however got a bit annoying in my opinion how how it sorta followed you while you scrolled up and down. Also I noticed that every section has some posts in it which makes the guest want to
join as they will be stepping into what looks like an active website which is always good
🙂.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The layout itself (design) is very interesting and very
relaxing not hard on the eyes. you seem to have a ton of
forum sections which is kinda annoying to keep scrolling down. I highly suggest that you cut down on the sections and or make some of them within others. Making the outer
forum home much smaller in size.
I don't know if you can or not but I would defiantly look into making your board ad free, As the design is ruined with this. Now I know your on pro-boards but since your not paying for
hosting you could look into doing this. I also think that the showing the date isn't needed at the top.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
It seems that your forum isn't really on it's peak of activity at the moment. This isn't really a bad thing, However I suggest bringing in some more contests and overall advertising a bit more to bring in some more active members. Because if your a guest and see that no one is on well. The chances of that guest joining is very slim. What I used to do with my
forums & websites was leave my name on at all times, And had some friends to do the same thing which didn't help extremely but it did fix that "no one" is on facture.
One area that your are doing extremely well in. Is the fact that your members when they are
active are doing a great job of posting. And the staff are not doing all the
posting which is well awesome!

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
As I couldn't really view the team. When a guest or I couldn't find it. However I noticed that there isn't a ton of staff which in your case is very good. I wouldn't go to far into finding a ton of staff until your activity grows a bit more. I noticed that your staff are keeping spam out of the question.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
As far as I could see everything on your forums was spelled correctly, And when posting as a staff I noticed that all staff tried to keep it very professional.
