Congratulations! Your free forum review has been completed. The forum review will hold many tips, suggestions, comments, and feedback that's convenient and voluntary for your forum. Here is your forum review:
Generalities
1. First Impressions (Score: 15/20): Forum looked cool when I looked at it first and then I saw okay there
isn't anything special going on around here. The categories are all
together which should be into different categories to make it easier to
look for what is needed. You need to put more images on the forum to bring out what you have. Dark stuff with more dark stuff don't work that great.
2. Categories & Forums (Score: 7/10): You have all the topics in one section. I would split them up into categories so members can find what they need easier and post faster. I don't like forums that have everything into one it looks like they did everything really fast and don't care about anything.
Generalities total :: 22/30
Forum Style
1. Major Graphics (Score: 9/10):
Banner Banner is good! Tells about your forum really nice. I would remove the words at the bottom of the banner not the words that are with the banner but below Disturbed. Because you already know what the forum is.
Navigation Bar Can't really comment on this since there isn't any picture on them.
2. Forum Layout & Color Scheme (Score: 10/10): Color is good for the forum and for a music group. I don't see what is
needed to change it at all.
3. Images & Icons (Score: 8/10): You really need some images by your section or something because the forum doesn't look so good without images. You have something that is pointing to a section but you can't figure what it is. Is it a hand or something?
Forum Style total 27 /30
Usergroups
1. Population of Groups (Score: 10/10): Groups are good and don't need anything removed but that chatbox
moderator. I will say why below in the staff/User Groups
2. Staff Groups / User Groups (Score: 8/10): You really need the chatbox moderators group? I don't think its really needed plus it can be hidden without color. You can also try and make it so that you have a list in a topic telling users who is a chatbox moderator. Other than that everything is good Smile
Usergroups :: 18/20
Forum Activity
1. Post/Member Ratio & Quantity (Score: 10/10): 27299 messages for 1026 users is not bad at all for a fan page of a
music group. Keep it up I'm sure you will have a lot more by the end of
each month.
2. Users Active (Score: 8/10): You have a lot of users on the pass 72 hours. But I would really change the who's online to 48 hours to get a good idea of who is online the most and who is active. I would still try and promote your forum on Twitter about news of whats going on. Get a Fan Page on Facebook and maybe a page on MySpace. If you have no done so go to Google, Bing and Yahoo and submit your forum to get your forum on the search engine.

Ok It was a good review for the Forum but the only thing that bothered me was that he said try and promote on twitter, Facebook and Myspace as you guys know we have them all and you can go to those pages by clicking them here so it is like he didn't really look at it all or he would have seen those pages but Overall i am glad with the review.
