Your Quick Review
Pros:
- I like your custom banner. The main text, which is the name of your forum is large and extends across the entire banner and not just in a section of the banner like I sometimes see. You also included a nice and attractive slogan below the forum name that will really show your potential members what you guys are really all about in case the name of your forum is simply not enough to them.
- I noticed no grammatical or punctuation errors in your board or category titles. The titles also are creative and most of them clearly explain what the board offers and is about. If those titles are not clear to some potential or even current members you also have nice board descriptions that guarantee that the members and guests of your community will understand what each and every board on your forum is about.
- The bottom toolbar on forum is something that I actually was impressed to see. It's something I honestly would consider for my forum after seeing it on yours. It allows you to share the page, view the page of both your Facebook and Twitter accounts so your members can stay informed and current on what's happening around your forum. You also have a chat system to better allow your members to stay connected and a RSS feed button. It is nice to have those Facebook and Aim buttons included in the toolbar too.
Cons:
- You forum's style appears quite sterile. It's mostly white which is one of the worst colors to be used in excessive on any type of forum. Try to add in another color or use the blue in your style more than your currently using it. This is one of the main things I didn't like about your forum.
- I looked through all your boards and was not able to find a rules thread. I was quite surprised that it was not located as a sticky in your news and announcements board or as a global announcement that appears in all your boards. Having a set of rules in place is a very important thing that I strongly believe all forums regardless of genre should have. While your member may be behaving and you may not be having any problems currently if you excel into a larger forum you are bound to come across problems with member (this happens to all forums) and some of these problems could easily have been prevented if you had had a set of rules on your forum.
Final/General Thoughts: Your forum for the most part is great. I think if you fix the things I mentioned in this review and focus on the basics you will be able to take your forum places. I looks like you have a good community in the making.
What was most liked about the website/forums: What I liked most about your forum was the tool bar at the bottom of your forum. Like I said in the review I honestly am considering that for my forum as I liked it so much. I think it is something that your members are really going to like having installed on your forum.
What was disliked most about the website/forums: What I disliked most about your forum was the fact that you have no rules. I'm telling you from plain experience that not having a set of rules will be something that your going to want to have added later on. Instead of adding rules later on when the forum is bigger it is better to have a set of rules in place and have them there since day one. You can make changes if you need to add anything anytime.
Final Score : Score - 8/10
