Chalice of FemmeMetal Review






Graphics:

Nav Buttons: Althought the design is quite intruiging I'm having problems adjusting my eyes to them seeing as the "REGISTER" but is a lot larger and oddly placed within all the other buttons. Make all the nav buttons the same. To me it looks like you really need members. This doesn't help get members. (Score: 5/10)

Banner: The banner seems to be a size fit for the forum and keeps the theme and general of the idea inside it. Gratz on that.(Score: 10/10)

Colors: Judging this seems to be a fan/band forum your colors are themed and stay so throughout the whole forum. It is prity much standable within the forum. (Score: 10/10)

Display/Layout:

Organization: Although your members are probably used to this a guest would have hurt their eyes scrolling down the forum.
1.Everything is a little too "bunched" together and the forum icons are WAY too big and uncomfortable
2. Have sections seperated and not in a big group as members/guest will get confused really easy just like me. (Score: 6/10)

Categories & Forums: Your categories are in fine order. The only tip I may have for you is too put them in order of importance. If you are going to put images in a section at least put them in all of them so it doesn't look bad/looks like the Admin is lazy to do it. (Score: 7/10)

Index & Portal Appearance: I'm going to give 5 points for the portal seeing as it is very organized and down to the point. For the Index I can't give you full points because it looks jumbled up as if it barely fits on the page. Try reducing the amount of things you add to the forum. Nice, sleek and simple is my taste The one thing I would do is decrease the news lengh as is should really have a total of 6 news so that your potral isn't long and boring when you read the last one.

Language:
Your language seems to be adequate enough for a forum of your theme. The only thing I would suggest is to throw in the periods at the end of the descriptions. (Score: 4/5)

General:

Staff Population: Population of staff seems to be perfectly set for the forum and there's nothing I need to add (Score: 5/5)

Staff Activity & Moderation: This was very hard for me to do seeing as I have to be registered to see people's posts. So I went through the main sections and topic and found some moderation but not enough to award you full points. (Score: 2/5)

Staff Groups: You do have some groups that are too dark to see and read. It is going to make members mad to see dark ranks and who to talk to. I suggest you make all your ranks light on a dark forum and a light forum all dark groups. (Score: 4/5)

Members:

Forum Date & Activity: The forum is very active but for the wrong reasons. About half all your members posts went into spam games. I suggest you delete that forum. (Score: 3/5)

Daily Posts & Threads: There seems to be a nice amount of members online through the 24 hour time span you have set and posts rise by great amounts, but I again I remind you: for the wrong reasons. (Score: 3/5)

Member Population: You have 17 members that are online ina 24 hour period. you need to send out news letters asking for members to come back and asking them what they want out of the forum. Members will leave when the forum is boring and there is nothing to do. For so many posts you have so little members. I suggest promoting them here , Google, Yahoo, Bling, Twitter, FaceBook, and MySpace. (Score: 2/5)

Thanks for the review it's muchly appreciated. I'll do something and the Games section.

This needs to be offical as I don't agree with this review at all. Its way to short.

Must of forgot to tell you Rok that all members reviews are to be reviewed to make sure they aren't missing anything important.

Ouch, sorry about that Mario.
Im'ma add some more things to the review in a few minutes.

Sorry for the delay. I'll just work on a full review; that wouldn't take as long as editing out and fixing Whatif's review.

Lady Draconian, you do not seem to be quite active here on the support forum, so is it okay if I make you a new review? If you aren't here to read it, then there's no sense into making it.
Thanks.
