Generalities:
1. First Impressions: The portal is very cluttered. As soon as I saw it, it immediately stood out to me as unproffesional. I suggest you remove the images from your widgets in the portal and limit the amount of widgets to 5-6 instead of 10. (Score 4/10).
2. Categories and Forums: There are a nice amount of categories with a suitable amount of sub-forums. I suggest you leave it at that amount. (Score 16/20).
Generalities Total 20/30
Design/Layout:
1. The colour scheming is simple and fine although you should make your categories border colour fit with the blue on your logo and nav buttons. (Score 13/20).
2. Navigation Bar- Nice and simple although the register button has rather small text on it and I think users with more sensitive eyesight may experience difficulty reading it. I suggest you make the text bigger and change the font colour of it to white. (Score 15/20).
3. Banner- The banner is nice, graphical, and animated. The colour is very nice of it although the text is rather hard to read because its the same colour of the rocks behind it but a darker shade. You should sort that out. Very eeer.. Pre-historic (Score 15/20).
4. Images and Icons are confusing such as the new posts and forum locked one's. They all look the same and it will probably be hard to tell which forums there are new posts in. You can request for new icons to be made here. (Score 3/10)
The skin is rather dull and boring but it fits nicely with your theme. Remember there's always an option to choose from the preset themes. There's always a nice skin to choose from there.
Design/Layout Total: 46/70
Conclusion
A nice and simple forum with the right amount of members for a starter forum. You should consider the suggestions given and improve on them. I re-did your review twice as Firefox shut down the first time as I was about to post it.
OVERALL TOTAL: 66/100

After sending a PM to crystal786, I explained that she scored the review incorrectly.
But now that I see you have already rated your review, I'll give you about 24 hours for any comments on the review, silvergirl59.

I appreciate that you took your time and reviewed my forum. But I believe you judged the site wrongly.
You stated: 1. First Impressions: The
portal is very cluttered. As soon as I saw it, it immediately stood out
to me as unproffesional. I suggest you remove the images from your
widgets in the portal and limit the amount of widgets to 5-6 instead of
10. (Score 4/10).
My response: I believe that you not not looking at the purpose of the site. My site is about a game and a group of people playing the same game. We try to recruit people into our circle of friends. All the widgets are necessary to inform people about us.
You stated: 1. The colour scheming is
simple and fine although you should make your categories border colour
fit with the blue on your logo and nav buttons. (Score 13/20).
My response: I totally agree the color does not fit, I am trying to find a way to change. But because they are different colors you give it a 13=D?
You stated: 2. Navigation Bar- Nice and simple although the register button has
rather small text on it and I think users with more sensitive eyesight
may experience difficulty reading it. I suggest you make the text
bigger and change the font colour of it to white. (Score 15/20).
My response: You gave it a C because you didn't like how the register button is suppose to catch your eye? But I do agree the nav buttons are a bit small.
All in all, I appreciate it how much you spent on reviewing this site. You stated that firefox shut down on you a few times while you were doing this review, so I also thank you that you didn't give up on the forum. However, I think you didn't judge the site fairly. From your writing it feels that you don't really understand a "clan site". And I know there a first time for everything, so for your future reviews please take in consideration the fact that some forums are clan sites.
Thank you very much.
