Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
The first thing I notice when I load your site is your magnificent banner! It looks great, and it really illuminates the theme of your site. I know right off the bat that I'm dealing with a site that includes all gaming platforms. Although I'm not normally a fan of light themes, I think your theme looks very nice. It has a lot of contrast, and it actually suits the theme of your site pretty well. Overall, I think your forum looks great!
Your forum also looks decently active at a glance. You don't have any empty forums, and your statistics are pretty solid. You also have a good amount of users connected in the past twenty-four hours. I don't think your statistics would drive away any potential members.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with your forum at a glance!

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Overall, it appears that you've done a pretty good job of organizing and condensing your layout. One thing that I strongly urge you to do is to make your "Competitions" forum a sub-forum under "UK Gaming News/Announcements." You can also delete it altogether and just post competition threads in the news forum. Other than that, though, your layout looks very good.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
According to my calculations, your forum receives approximately fifty posts per day. You have ninety posts for each of your ninety-one members. These stats aren't horrible, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. I see that you have affiliated yourself with a lot of other gaming sites; that's a great start. I would definitely recommend that you sign up on every forum that has to do with gaming and post around a bit wearing your site's signature banner. This could definitely attract the eyes of some gamers. Since your forum is just under six months old, post exchanges are still an option to nudge your forum's activity (they will be a lot less useful after another month or so). You may also consider sending out a mass e-mail to your ninety-one users; in almost half a year, they may have forgotten about your forum.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Your forum currently employs three administrators, three moderators, a server administrator, and an editor. This seems like a slightly larger staff than you need for a community of this size, but I wouldn't say that it's majorly overkill. However, some of your staff members do not appear to be very active posters; some of them appear to have less than one post per day. In fact, you have an administrator with seven posts! That's rather unsettling to me. You need to encourage these staff members to post more actively. Having staff members who don't actively post makes a forum look neglected. Your staff members appear to do a fairly decent job of welcoming new members, though. If the inactive staff members begin posting more actively, your staff will be fine.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
You've done a decent job of writing descriptions of your forums. Your grammar is nearly flawless; I only see a few minor errors, and I doubt that the average visitor would even notice them. The descriptions of the forums in your top category make your forum sound very friendly; however, in the bottom two categories, the descriptions are a bit boring and bland. You may want to write slightly more interesting descriptions for these forums. Make them sound fun to participate in. Despite this, though, your descriptions look pretty good.
