First Impressions - Rating: Good
- I was really impressed when I first entered your forum. I saw many nice things to impress a new visitor, and I also noticed several flaws. The first page I went to was the Portal page. On the Portal page I noticed that there is so much content that it makes the scrolling of the page very slow. I also noticed several advertisements and such in your widgets, and I don't think members like to see them that often. Other than that, I noticed several articles on your Portal that can be found to be interesting, and I find this to be a very good attribute for your forum. I also liked your color scheme of choice, and the effects of your banner- they were both very well designed. This was just my first impressions on what I saw, and the rest of the review will be more detailed as you read through it.
Graphics & Layout - Rating: Excellent
- Your forum contains a very high unique standard when it comes to coding and design. Your choice of visual effects on the banner and the exquisite design of the background was a very good choice. I like the images on every board that mainly explain in text what that board is, and I really like how you made your images to match your forum's theme of technology. I especially liked your organization of categories and forums. Having too many categories is not a very good thing, but your forum has the perfect amount. You provide easy navigation for new and old members and the perfect appearance resulting in a very nice forum.
Forum Activity - Rating: Excellent
- Your forum has a great amount of activity. I notice many members online from the last 24 hours, including many guests at just one time. Keep up the nice content you have, and your activity should rise gradually with your work.
Staff & Usergroups - Rating: Good
- I think that you have a great amount of Staff, but I'll just remind you to balance your Staff and Member population. Make sure that you have enough normal members for the Staff to actually moderate. As your population rises, then that would be the time to add more Staff. I would also suggest to delete any unused user groups so that it would be easier to identify who is who.
Originality & Unique Quality - Rating: Excellent
- Your forum was original and unique to the point where it's gone beyond. Keep up the original content and your forum will surely rise in population and popularity.
