Review done by Irviding of Forum Promotion


"Irviding"
 



        Your Forum Review

       


        First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
When I first visit the site, I see the banner. The banner is really good looking, I like the colors, they blend well.
I also notice the advertisement as one of the first things I see, and after refreshing it a few times, I notice all of the ad's it serves are irrelevant to your site and very obstructive to look at. I suggest you request the Invisionfree to move the Advertisement to the bottom rather than the top.

Your skin is really excellent. I haven't seen anything better myself for invisonfree.

Overall, you've really outdone yourself with the appearance. The whole site is just absolutely amazing appearancewise, however, I really think that the advertisement needs to be moved.

        (Scored 17/20)

        Site Layout - (Out of 20)
I like your witty titles for categories, such as " All the boring but necessary stuff ".
That category is in perfect order other than one small problem, the board you have called " The Front Door " which is in " The Fun stuff " should be the last board listed in the " All the boring but necessary stuff " category. Introductions boards always belong at the top area. So, it should look like this:

Category: All the boring but necessary stuff
--Board: News & Announcements
--Board: Suggestions
--Board: The Front Door

The entire " Fun Stuff " category is in perfect order other than the front door being there, the whole board is well done.

I really like what you've done with the games and randomness category. The entire category, each of it's boards, are booming with posts and threads. Excellent job.

Overall, there are no layout problems other than that tiny placement issue. Great score here.

        (Scored 19/20)

        Statistics and Activity - (Out of 20)
The board was founded a little less than a year ago, I can see.

However, I can't find an actual board statistics list, so I took to the members list. I'm unable to see an exact number but it seems that there is about 300 members or so. That is a little low, and just from looking at join dates, you have a new member registration maybe once every 10 days. You really need to promote this board more often. It is very successful. I've yet to see it in any promotion boards or anywhere here on FP, so I think that shows you aren't promoting enough. Promote some more, do some exchanges, etc. You will do better.

        (Scored 16/20)

        Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
Your seem to have a nice amount of staff and they appear to be very active. Nothing to complain about here.

        (Scored 20/20)

        Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
Well, I don't see any spelling issues, but professionalism is a bit poor in some areas. HOWEVER, your board is very relaxed, and very unprofessional in itself. So I think that your goofy category names and board names actually make the board feel a lot warmer to new members and current members, so I don't have any bones to pick here.

        (Scored 20 /20)

        Total Score - 92 (Out of 100)

        Final Remarks:
Your board has a lot of potential, it really is already successful, but I think you aren't promoting enough. Make some more topics around FP for your site, and request other services, like Package. It will be usefull for you.

        What was most liked about the website/forums:
The appearance overall, and comfy warm feeling you get from the board names.

        What was disliked most about the website/forums:
Nothing was disliked most, nothing stood out to me.

        How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
I would consider if you promoted a lot more and took part in some more exchanges.

LOVE IS THE DRIVING FORCE OF ALL

I have the impression that when something is done with a heart, it never fails to succeed.

You have here both Heart and Experience with the previous iterations of the Forum, so it is nice to see it recognized.

See, I visited many boards and in the end this is the only place where I feel at home, and where I can meet many good net friends from way long now.

So, it is good to see the good work done here recognized

Omedettou to you, and t us all as well :voidhawk:
