Creative Freedom Review

Graphics:

Nav Buttons: You have the registered link not working. I would upload it again and if its still getting you problems find another set that fits the forum. But the bnav buttons do fit well with the theme. (Score: 8/10)

Banner: Its a bit large for the forum and it does not look good with the rest of the graphics. Request a new one that better for clearer.(Score: 7/10)

Colors: A dark forum with dark letters are not always good. I recommend that you always make it so that you have dark with light and light with dark. Some poeple have it hard to read or they can't see well. (Score: 6/10)

Display/Layout:

Organization: The organization is nice but still needs to be fixed below what I said. Make sure that each section is understanding on whats going on and how to move around the forum. Make it easy for the members to move around the forum. (Score: 6/10)

Categories & Forums: You have one section (Omega) that has never been used and most likely wont be used anytime soon. Close that section for a while or when someone asks about it. The Off topic Discussions should be named Important infomation or Welcome and the On Topic Discussions should be named for the forum idea/theme. (Score: 5/10)

Index & Portal Appearance: Its sort of boring with just dark color. Get some graphics or widgets with infomation or intresting stuff. (Score: 4/10)

General:

Staff Population: Can't tell how many staff you have besides one. For now I would make it so that you have at least 2 or 4 staff members for now till your forum active, harder to control, and more post. (Score: 2/5)

Staff Activity & Moderation: Can't tell your staff activity as it is set for members only. So I can't give points for activity. can't really tell your moderation on this forum well so I can't give you points for this area. (Score: 0/5)

Staff Groups: Two groups for 45 members is good for now. Till you get more members I would increase it to 3 or 4. (Score: 5/5)

Members:

Forum Date & Activity: You don't have members that are active for 45 members. I would start sending News Letters once a week if possible or so. (Score: 2/5)

Daily Posts & Threads: 3571 for 45 members is great but it seem like there is a lot of post that aren't really needed. To make sure when you advertize you make sure that most the post aren't spam and not needed. (Score: 3/5)

Member Population: 45 members isn't a bad start but it will be time for you to advertize your forum a ligght more with Google, Blin, MSN, yahoo, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter.(Score: 4/5)
