First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)

When I viewed your forum for the first time, it was obvious what it was about, the favicon, name, and images displayed on the index showed me straight away that the forum focused on TV media discussion, which is a good thing for a guest to notice at first glimpse. Your forum rules weren't very appealing at first site, you could describe them more and add more rules, I could think of a couple you could add. One thing that made me kind of go of track of your forum was the theme, it was very dull and could be doing with either being changed or editing some images to enlighten theme to fit the genre of your forum. One small problem was when I was just checking your banner is that the image used looks more like a PC screen rather than a TV, but it was nothing big.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)

I liked your site layout, very basic indeed, although the descriptions could have been thought out more, been more creative, and instead of using '!' at the end of most description use a full stop instead. I think more forums and sub-sections could have been added to the main aspect of your forum, the TV Genre section. When you say TV Genre's I would espect it to be split up at 1980's, 90's, 00's, Future TV and then adding some other discussion relating about TV. Overall your forum has a good layout, could be fixed by adding some additional descriptions and names.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)

Site activity wasn't exactly great, but considering the forum activity went down the drain in November 2009 you have done all right catching up on some of the post's, I'd just suggest you add some newer topics and keep updating them along with your staff updating them. Just keep promoting using Forum Promotion's exchange services, packages service, and all the basic ad service and using other forums.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)

There wasn't really much to overview on this as your definitely not over staffed but you can say you are understaffed but then again you are starting out again so it is nothing to worry about. You and your other staff member both seem pretty happy as you guys and girls both have positive grammar and punctuation although could work on welcoming members instead of saying pretty much the same thing, try to make a small conversation with them and then it will be easier to communicate around the forum for them and you.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)

Honestly when viewing some of your up-to-date posts you have pretty strong grammar along with your other staff member although she could work on punctuation on where to place it and etcetera. You could work on your professionalism around the forum but it is nothing to worry about as you will grow into it.

Thanks, I have some things to point out though.

We've made around 50 posts before we re opened it with lots of new topics. So you can't really judge the activity at the moment 😉

I don't want to over dose on forums and the rules. I don't believe in forums with lots of rules. 😉
 
Yes, I tried not to judge a lot on activity, it is my first review and I enjoyed it, good luck with the forum.
