Really bad to post username and password on this forum. I will remove it and have you send the Reviewer the info to it.

Generalities
1.First Impression(11/16)
Your Forum is good,, all about music and tv shows.. . however i don't know who is that 2 people on your banner.. i am not bothered on the register now button thus it gives knowledge to the guest that it is an online site.. your forum can also give updates on the american shows,, good. You also have this huge space at the bottom of the forum without anything. Not sure but it needs to be fixed but reinstalling the Skin or picking something else.
2.Categories and forums(7/12)
Your ctaegories and forums are good,, related to the tv shows and music.. but i would suggest you to put off topic category to the bottom of your forum because its not related to your forum,, w also suggest you to put a description on your forum namely "Forum Announcements and help" so the gusests will be able to know it fully.. you should get it fixed..
3.Usergroups(4/12)
your user gorups only seen are supporters,, i would suggest you to not hide the administration, moderation and donators group so the members as well as the guests will know who are the staff members shown by their color.. besides,, you assigned different members to moderate in every board,, i would suggest you to have a global/super moderator group that will moderate all the section... get those things fixed
Forum Style
1.Banner and Navigation Bar(9/12)
Banner- your banner is very big.. you could resize it,, however i don't know what/who is the 2 people there,, but it fits to your forum,, its your choice if you like to resize it.
Navigation Bar-Your Navigation Bar fits with the forum,, can read by the guests clearly,, your register now button is good,, i think it will be the 1st thing that guest will notice.. good
2. Forum Lay out and color scheme(9/12)
Your forum has a good layout/skin however it doesn't fit on a music/show forum.. i suggest you to have sky blue + anything color you want..
3.Images and Icons(6/12)
Your New post/no new post doesn't also fit to the forum's main subject which is music,, i would suggest you to change it,, the one related to music/tv shows,, but it is also ok if you not change it,, also you don't have image for forum is locked.. you can request on the graphic design section.. and also the topic icons should also be related to music/tv shows.. but its good even if you don't change it(your decision).. get those things fixed
ForumActivity
1.Activity(3/12)
I've noticed that you don't have new posts on your forum,, your latest posts are on months of july some on augusts.. post new topics to get the ball rolling.... If you want your members back,, promotre every day.,.. send them weekly e-mails about the latest updates on your forum,, create some contests and games.. this will get you lot of activity
2.Users active(1/12)
I've seen only 1-3 members connected last 24 hours.. as i've said promote every day to keep your forum alive

Does anyone know of a similar program to this for Music? Something that would scrape last.fm, musicbrainz, and or allmusic and build the .nfo and .tbn files for XBMC to use.
Love the proggie. It works wonderful.
