Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
I didn't get a welcoming and unique feeling when viewing your forum for the first time. As that style and layout is used a ton now a days, First thing to do when making a forum is try not to copy others be unique. The logo was interesting and really did show your forum is about caring so nice job on that.
You don't have a ton of sections which is good as you don't want to overcrowd your forums with tons and tons of forum category's and sections. You also managed to basically hit everything I could think of for a kind of forum like yours (Sections wise).

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The forum layout itself was unique and helpful you put a ton of work as it looks into making sure every forum section is met and used. However I found a couple downfalls I noticed that you are using a skin that is used often. I suggest finding a more suitable style that may aim more towards what your forum is and means to everyone and yourself.
Basically that skin doesn't show me your site is about life and help and all those subjects. So look into finding another skin and hopefully your site will be a bit more appealing to all. I didn't really understand why there are two bullets at the bottom near the Affiliate section, Didn't know if you put that there for design or what.
I also managed to see that one of your affiliate icons are not showing correctly. This can turn into a big issue if you are affiliating another forum and or website and not showing their image right. Why? Because then you may not have that partnership you had before. Always make sure you are updating your affiliate images.
I really didn't get why you had the Aim logo icon under the main statistics. Might or should find another icon to display not only because all the other icons within this section are unique and better looking but why copy Aim? Now I understand that the icon probably came with the style but I'm sure there is a way to remove or replace it with another image.

Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
It seems as your site gets it fair share of both staff and regular member posting. However the actual activity of your forums is a bit low, Now I know this could be because of our timezone but I go on many sites at all times and someone is always on. So I would try to find ways to boost your sites activity up so people are always trying to join your site.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Your staff list is perfect for the amount of activity and statistics you are gaining as of right now. You could probably add one more moderator if you needed to, But other than that nice job keeping the balance at an even amount and not going staff crazy.
When viewing announcement topics I didn't feel like they are announcement topics rather just normal people posting, Now this isn't a bad thing but it should be worked on if your doing contests you should post these "contests" into a contest section. So that it isn't in the way for more important subjects such as forum upgrades ect..

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
You did have a lot of spelling errors and misused grammar. One spelling error that I noticed which is somewhat of a big one is at the bottom of the site near the footer you have "Contacct" instead of "Contact" I believe you should finish this ASAP. Because this will probably be your strongest point when users or even staff need to send and e-mail to you regarding something upon your site.
I thought id make a list of what needs to be spelled right, So you can fix it to make sure your site is viewed the way it should be.
Contacct -> Contact
