Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance
Your forum looks very nice when you first enter it; the theme is pleasing on the eyes and looks basic and professional! I really liked the banner and the category pictures, it looks really nice! It looks like a forum I would want to join from the professionalism which I can see from my first impressions. I like that the ads are a small slither of the page, nothing to large, nice and small. The theme looks quite light, maybe to light, but that’s not something you have to worry about unless your members start complaining. Your portal is set up nice and everything looks professional, well done :great:

Site Layout
Your first category looks like a mess, to many boards in that category! You could probably split that category into two, which would look a lot more professional! Another thing I noticed is the first category isn’t set to be a category, this might be on purpose, but it does look a little unusual. I can tell this because phpBB categories are links too, this one seems to not be. Nothing major though. The rest of your board layout looks good and laid out well.
Your portal layout is nice but it would be better to see the link to the forum bigger so people know there is a forum there! It look about 5 seconds for me to find the link to the forum, but it should be obvious enough to just see it straight away!

Statistics and Activity
800 posts in two years is pretty bad. I'm happy to see though you're pushing on with the forum, but you might want to try packages and exchanges if you're wanting an active forum. Try to create unique and great content everyday and people will login and reply! It's how forums work! Try get your staff posting more and more and people will join in, even if it's just your staff posting for the first few weeks is ok
😉 Try promoting as much as you can, but make sure you have new content on your forum before doing that!

Staff Moderation
It's nice to see you don't have many staff, but you do have a moderator who has basically no posts and default member group is registered users. You might have added him to the moderation group on accident? I haven't seen any spam which is good, so you either don't get much or you clean it up well. I think if you really wanted activity you could use another moderator, people tend to post more when they're staff, but make sure the guy you choose is actually interested and good at moderation.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
Your posts seem really good and your spelling seems good too. Your boards descriptions are a good size, there's not that many errors too. I just noticed that your first board say fuN which does look a bit unusual. Your board does have a professional feeling to it, with the portal and most things laid out finely. The only unprofessional looking thing is the first category which does look like a mess. Clean that up and your professionalism factor will rocket higher!
