Appearance (First Impressions): At first glance, the forum looks smooth. Really, it does.
The banner is greatly made, the forums are lied out very nicely, and the colors blend in. Guests
are allowed to view the forum, which is a great idea. I don't see anything that I would do
differently to the benefit to the forum. You have it under control my friend.
Overall mark forAppearance **20/20**
Layout: The layout of the forum is very nice. The forums are in certain categories. Plus,
they all fit right where they should be. I don't see any forum that is not in a category from which
it belongs to. My only suggestion would be to add a little more Off-Topic forums, but that
altogether isn't necessary.
Overall Score forLayout **20/20**
Number Of Members: You currently have around 85 members which is pretty good for a starting
forum. Many of your members are active, and posting. I didn't see any banned members or punished
as far as I looked. This shows that your forum is moderated nicely. I recommend advertising a
little more just to get that extra boost on members, altho it is at a great place right now.
Overall Score for Number of Members 8/10
Number Of Posts (Spam or Otherwise): From the posts that I scanned,
I saw very little spam. This shows a well moderated forum. All of the topics seem to be in the
correct area, and are on topic. To ward away some spam, you might want to open up some more
sections of the Off-Topic categories. Other than that, your doing a good job avoiding spam so far!
Overall Score for Number of Posts **10/10**
Moderation: Your moderation team (not including you) has 5 members. 85 divided by 5 is 17.
Each member moderates an average of 17 members on your forum. In most cases, if the number of
moderators to members drops to 1/20, this is considered over staffing. My suggestion is to stop
recruiting staff members until your population reaches about 120.
Overall Score for Moderation 7/10
Activity: Since there was no "Who was here" list, I have to take a guess. I see that your
forum has 1.7 thousand posts with 85 members. That is a good amount of posts per member, so I am
assuming that the activity of your members is high. I also believe that since that this is whats
called a 'Topic Forum', a forum that focuses on a topic, your members will be dedicated to staying
with it.
Overall Score for Activity **20/20**
Spelling and Grammar: When I was scanning, I saw almost no spelling or grammar mistakes on
the forum itself. Then I went though some of the member's posts. I saw no mistakes on their posts
either. This shows a professional forum. Keep influencing your members and staff to use proper
grammar and spelling on your forum. Excellent.

Overall Mark (Out Of 100): 95/100.
Additional Info: You are on your way to a professional forum!
Suggestions for future additions: I have no suggestions at the
moment!
Best thing liked about the website/forums: The best thing that *I*
liked about the site was that it was one of my favorite topics. I love to study WWII and learn
about it in History Class.
