Some of these are going to be shorter then others as it's not a typical review service aka one run by staff so expect reviews of different length and writing style.

I quote the few I seen so far on there.

Since this forum will take a while to mature to its full potential, I'll do a quick review. 

One of the biggest things about this forum is its history. The banner looks really good on this forum, it is fun and interesting. I like the "Rules of the Chicken" graphic too I think it gets the point across while also being very welcoming. I personally do not like the skin, but it is probably because it reminds of a throwback IF skin, which may be what you were looking for. The number of members to posts ratio is AWESOME! I think you have a great little active forum.

Apperance
Even though you have had the current theme for as long as i can remember, the theme does not age and looks really nice and proves that you dont need a custom skin every month to keep your board active. All the graphics go perfectly well including the guests image which looks very welcoming and quite funny. Banner looks good and goes with the theme as well.
Staff & Activity
I love how you have dissabled the stats table which makes the members not worry about post counts and stats, and just to enjoy the board. Whenever i click the link to Rapture, there is always at least 1 or 2 members on constantly, if not more, which is great being i am online in some god forsaken hours.
You have a very small staff team but you dont really need anymore being the current staff team looks active and gets involved in the community which is what you need at Rapture.
Layout
I cant really say much about the layout simply because its exactly what a general discussion board needs. You cover every area but also have maaged to keep the layout compact. This means every area has tons of posts in and means each forum looks active.
Overall
Overall i think Rapture has proved that you dont need new themes and tons of exposure to get active members. You have a tight knit community which all gets on with each other and has a laugh which is what foruming is all about. I hope Rapture continues to grow and i know that the board will live on for a long time because everything about it gels and works perfectly well.
