Generalities


  1. First Impressions (Score:12 /20):Your forum is good and suitable for gamers however as i opened the forum, i saw rumbled messages and as well as images.

  2. Categories & Forums (Score: 6/10):There are wrong postioning on your forums, your off topic category/section should be located on the bottom of the forum as it is not related to the main subject of your forum, although your forum title is being specific, some guests don't like to scroll down so they will notice first the off topic area and they will think that it is just a chat forums, Also, the one that confuses me is the moderators shown on every forum, their names are displayed, i would suggest you to just have a the forum moderators group displayed in the moderators of each forum to reduce confusion, get those things fixed


Generalities total: 18/30

Forum Style


  1. Banner & Navigation Bar (Score:6 /10):
    Banneryour banner is very wide and doesn't fit to the width of your forum, make the width of your forum a little bit smaller so it will fit, i also noticed the note "welcome to the official", it seems fading and cannot be read, i would suggest you to just remove it or make it a little bigger

    Navigation Baryour navigation bar is simple(home,search,register,log in etc) and also the new topic,new post etc are good, they look neat and clean, nice job!

  2. Forum Layout & Color Scheme (Score:9 /10):your forum's colors combination are blue black and gray, not complaining with it because it looks good with your forum and it fits, nothing much to say

  3. Images & Icons (Score:10 /10):who's online icon is good and fits to the forum, topic icons are good, and new post, no new post and forum is locked icons are good, they all fit! nice work!

Thanks a tonne Zoids!

I was thinking it would be a little more objective, but you have given us a few grounds to work on, thank you Smile

OH, the groups are meant to be like they are as we don't want the " 's " on the end, and the RELU VIP are important people from the clans when we were 2.
5 Jophy, on 20/09/2009 at 06h14
thanks to, i was thinking 2-3 days if i will review on your forum because i think you like an official reviewer to review it. I reviewed because you've been waiting. Glad i could help

sorry for my wrong grammars.
6 Darren1, on 20/09/2009 at 06h29
Your grammar is perfectly fine, better than alot of people around these days.

I wouldn't mind an official or a non official reviewer, to me a review is a review, its the objectiveness is the difference, but yours is pretty good Very Happy
