Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance
A very nice theme. It clearly states what your forum is about and it is well done, very nice and beautiful. I could not suggest a better one :great:
I do not see a logo though, that would be nice to have for your forum, it helps identify you and label the forum.
It looks like a nice forum to just jump into. It has a nice design, plenty of forums, and some very obvious signs of where to register.
Overall a great theme and looks like a nice forum.

Site Layout
Your forums are in a very unusual order. I would suggest moving the "Getting Started" category to the top of the index as the first category. I'd also have some kind of welcome forum in the Getting Started category as well as character creation.
I'd move the off topic and the graphic sections down to the bottom of the forum, they relate the least to the forum. I'd also combine the Villages category with another category. It only has two forums and while I don't know very much about the forum's topic, I'm sure it could fit in somewhere.
I'd move the shout box to the top of the forum. You have a lot of forums so it takes a while to scroll all the way down and probably may not be seen by a lot of people. Moving it up will give the shout box more attention

Statistics and Activity
Well your forum has been open 8 days and has a pretty good stat count although most of the activity is coming from the staff (which is to be expected of a new forum, because it is not instantly popular
😛). So that is good to see you are active in the community and helping to move it forward.
I'd really promote it, do exchanges, or something to get more user posts on your forum so the staff posts do not 'suffocate' the forum. Go on new forums and look for fresh faces to exchange with, this will really help bring up activity.

Staff Moderation
You have more than the amount of staff needed right now. I'd hold off hiring for a while, it is a very tamed forum with no spam.
The staff are very active, however. Participating in topics and engaging with the community. Many staff members have the tendency to just leave new forums with no word because it can get quiet. It is good to see the staff still keep the fire burning. Nice job

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
Much of the terminology on your forum is related to the show or subject, and it looks all about right. (I am not sure what most of it is, lol.)
There is a lot of descriptions that have questions in them with a space after the word. Example:
"Do you like posting ? Try out this example!"
On the "Entertainment" forum, you have the question mark problem and a comma after the question mark which I assume is a typo.
On "Contest", take out the comma, it chops up the sentence and is grammatically incorrect.
There are many other spelling and grammatical mistakes throughout the forum. I'd take a look at each one and see if it makes sense, is spelled right, and is grammatically correct. That will boost your forum's professionalism 100%.
