Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
There seems to be way too much blank space on the sides and the forum descriptions seem a little smashed together. Get rid of some space and add a little bit of space in the forums. I like the forum images you have. None of them are the same and they all have a little bit of creativity in them. Also, the theme you’re using is used on a lot of forums. I don’t like coming to a forum using the same theme that I’ve seen plenty of other places as well.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
I like the order of your categories and forums, but I think Internet & Technology is misplaced. Domains and Hosting is admin/webmaster discussion as they are involved in running a website. I think that should be moved up to Webmaster Central, but besides that, everything else is great based on layout.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
You’re averaging 3.625 new members each day. That’s not bad for a brand new forum. You’re also averaging 21.125 new threads per day with 57.125 total new posts daily. Those are pretty good averages. Right now it seems as though a lot of threads are being made without too much discussion going on in them, but as the forum grows and the days go by, those threads will get more and more replies. Each of your members is averaging just fewer than 16 posts. That could be a little better seeing as most of those are from you anyway, but that’s not a bad stat to have currently.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Right now, you’re the only staff member. You seem to be doing great as the only staff member too. It can be hectic being the only staff member on a forum, but you don’t want to have too many staff. I’d look to adding maybe one more staff member once your current members get more active or you reach 40-50 total members. You also have 150 posts which is about 1/3 of your forum’s total posts. I can tell that you’re doing what you can to keep your forum active and get some discussion going. You’re also doing a great job of moderating and making sure everyone follows the rules.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
In your admin discussion forum description, you need to add a space after each comma. In the general discussion forum description, change the word ‘be’ (3rd word in 2nd sentence) to ‘is’.
