Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
The first thing on your forum that pops out at me is your logo. It’s a really good logo. Whoever designed it did a great job, it’s original, and matches your forum’s name well. I like that “Latest Topics” box, usually moving stuff gets annoying but it’s actually really cool. Your skin itself is nice and all, but it’s overdone. I’ve seen at least two other forums with the same skin. Maybe if you customized the icons a bit or tweaked the skin a bit it would look better. One thing you really do need to do is make the icons transparent. As they are they don’t match the colors of the skin so they look out of place. That being said, your skin is still good looking and nothing was hard to read or understand, so it’s not a huge deal. The main thing is the icons needing to be transparent. One final note, I like the favicon of your site.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
Your site is layed out well, and all the forums are in the appropriate category. Now, the problem is that many of your forums lack posts, a lot having 0 posts. You have a lot of forums and it makes your forum look severely inactive and empty. I would get rid of unneeded forums and minimize the amount you have. That would at least make your site appear more active because as it is layed out now, it makes your forum look new, which in reality it isn’t.
(Scored 12/20)
Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
Your forum has been open over a year. I’m going to be honest, your activity is horrible for a forum that age. You only have about 1,000 posts and a handful of members. Your forum could be doing many times better than that. At least you’ve made the forum look visually appealing and are advertising on FP, that should help. I would suggest you rev up your promotion efforts. And once again, the empty forums don’t exactly help.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Normally a lot of staff on a small forum is a bad thing. (I am unsure about your number of staff since it denies me access as a guest.) However, as you are a game developer a large number of staff isn’t a bad thing, as many are developers.
(Scored 20/20)
Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
This is extremely rare, and it’s a good thing; your forum has EXCELLENT grammar and spelling. I cannot tell you how many forums that I’ve seen that have horrible grammar/spelling or have many recurring errors. I spotted very few errors. The few I found were:
“Here you can hold contests to see who has better graphics, these will be judged by a poll, but comments can still be made.” is a run-on sentence. It would be better as: “Here you can hold contests to see who has better graphics. These will be judged by a poll, but comments can still be made.”
Every forum under the role playing games forum is like this:
“Everything [game] related. (Subforums are inside)” That’s not a complete sentence and should be, “Everything [game] related can be posted here. (Subforums are inside.)”
Everything else was great.
