First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I like the banner, but it doesn't go with the theme. There seems to be a lot of empty space on the main page. The dark blue is also kind of hard to see on the black. I'd suggest changing that to a lighter color. I personally don't like forumotion and a lot of people look at that and don't want to join a forum using a free forum host. Also, the domain is really long with the .forumotion.com at the end of it. If you have the money, I'd suggest buying a domain so people can actually remember it and it will be shorter. You should look into getting a favicon made if it's possible to add one. I like how "Register" is flashing as it catches the eye.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
It’s easy to navigate your site. It’s easy to find whatever you are looking for. The one thing I don’t like is how many forums there are as it seems like there is way too many and it takes too long to find a specific forum in the "Gamer Talk" section. Maybe remove the reviews and news forums and just have reviews and news be posted in the forum for which console they are for.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
You only average 5.48 posts per day. You’re also averaging 0.25 new members per day, which I guess isn’t horrible, but it could be a lot better. You’re forum seems to be pretty active lately though seeing how every forum ahs had at least 1 post in it either today or yesterday. You have also had 10 of your 22 members online during the last 48 hours. If you advertise a lot, you should be able to get more members and get these stats up more. Advertising is about the only thing that will get this up. Try using al of the possible advertising features here at Forum Promotion and also try getting your friends to go and join.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
You’re the only admin which should be good for a while, but you also have a moderator. You should be fine with being the only staff member for a while, but since you already have the moderator, I wouldn’t say fire him, because he his pretty active. The 2 staff has about 2/3 of all of the posts which would make some people not want to join seeing how most of the posts are made by staff instead of regular members. If you both stay active and keep making topics, that should bring in more posts.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)In your description for “Playstation Station”, fan boy is 2 words not 1. In “Nintendo Chat” for your DS sub-board, “Nintendo” is spelled wrong. Besides those things, I didn't see anything else that was wrong.

Total Score – 66 (Out of 100)
Final Remarks: Try to advertise anywhere you can think of. If possible, try to get off of forumotion and try to get a domain if you can afford one. Also, try to make a theme that matches your banner.
What was most liked about the website/forums: The banner, how easy it is to navigate, and how the spelling and grammar is pretty good.
What was disliked most about the website/forums: The activity, and how many "Gamer Talk" forums there are.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website? Try to come up with something unique for your site. There area lot of gaming forums and most of them are the exact same. Most people would prefer to join a big one if there’s nothing unique because they will most likely get the answer faster. Get a domain, and change the theme.
