First Impressions (Score: 15/20):
Before the review, I must admit that I'm also a wrestling person and I'm addicted to it, so maybe I can provide more information about your review, now let's head on on the review, when i first opened the link, I saw the Christmas theme namely the 'Christmas Magic', looks good on the forum, since the WWE is also showing some Christmas sensation, so nice work having this theme, however, the navigation bars ruins the index appearance because they're on the right top portion, the banner looks awesome but there's some things wrong there, but overall I liked the designs on the forum, I'll explain more later, as I scrolled down on the index, I saw a welcome message, nice work, this shows that you care for your members and guests, as i scrolled down(more), I noticed that you almost had complete discussions related to Wrestling(WWE), nice work, however, the forum looks under construction with some forums having images while some have none, but further more, I noticed that the index is too long with so many categories and forums placed on the index, but the index appearance is brilliant if you will completely add all images on the forums or remove all the images there, now let's head on to the portal review, when I entered on your portal, I saw that it's looking good and organized, I can easily identify and see widgets clearly, nothing wrong on your portal and everything looks brilliant there, nice work. You still had a nice work on this criteria
Categories & Forums (Score: 4/10):
You had nice set and discussions of forums on your index for the main subject of the forum is is about Wrestling, as I'd mentioned above, you almost had complete forums related to Wrestling(WWE) which is good, looks like you also had some forums for fantasy battles of your members, and some Roster listing, nice work, Nice organization of forums too, I can easily find important forums on the index, but there's also 1 thing I noticed wrong, If you can adjust placing the 'Announcement' forum on the 2nd portion than on the 4th version, in this way, it will look more professional and good but nice work separating brands of wrestling such us RAW, SMACKDOWN and ECW which will make it more easier for guests and members to identify which forum are for this and that, nice work, you also had other categories for other shows of wrestling, however, try merging some forums on other categories and also, try merging forums or making some forums a subforum of a certain forum to to reduce the length of the index, As I scrolled down, I noticed that you had too much general discussion/off topic forums which looks bad, you don't need too much forums about of topic, my suggestion here is to combine all of off-topic forums in one forum than having them all seen on the index which makes it long, Some forums that had been left dusted: 'Cards(all)', 'forum banners', & 'Credits', try merging or hiding these forums unless they gain more posts, Definitely get those things fixed.

Generalities total :: 19/30

Forum Style

Major Graphics (Score: 5/10):
Banner-The banner is definitely awesome for the subject of the forum and for me, the banner is having some superstars of WWE(wrestling) which gives emphasis on the forum's main subject which is a nice work, they're also relating to Christmas because they had Christmas hats on them and also having snow effects on the background of the banner, nice work having some Christmas effect here, however, for my screen resolution, the banner's length is off the limit on the index's size, so maybe try reducing the length but if it's fine on your screen resolution, then may not, one thing I also saw wrong on the banner is 'Matt Hardy'(on the banner) is having a white background, so try fixing that one, the font used is just fine but you can do better than that. But the banner is nice, just needs fixing.(2/5)

Navigation Bar-The navigation bars looks awesome on the forum's theme, partners with it and gives Christmas effect, nice work, but as I'd mentioned above, the navigation bars are positioned on the right portion, so my suggestion here is to center them, and it will looks nice, the other navigation bars(new topic&post reply) are also good, relates with Christmas, nice work on the navigation bars. Just get the main navigation bars centered(3/5)
Forum Layout & Color Scheme (Score: 10/10):
The theme of the forum as I'd mentioned above is really great, the index looks good with it and makes your members feel the Christmas sensation, nice work picking this theme, the colors of the forum is also great, has some greenie colors which is a calming color, the index looks clean with the colors of the forum, the background colors is just fine and yeah, as I'd mentioned above, even Wrestling symbolizes brutality, WWE also celebrates Christmas so the theme fits on the forum, nice work here.
Images & Icons (Score: 6/10):
The images on some forums are just fine, however, it looks odd some forums have images with them but some have none, these makes the index look under construction so my suggestion here is if you will images on some forums, have them all and if some have none, then don't images on all forums, in this way, the forum will look more good and organized so try to fix this one, there is no 'who is online?' icons, the forum icons(no new post, new post and forum is locked) are just fine and they look good on the theme of the forum, adds also some Christmas effect on the forum, the topic icons are also good but there are some topic names having the same icons, the 'new post' & 'no new post' have both the same icons the same 'no new post' & 'no new post[popular]', it's still ok if you will not change topic names having the same icons, it's still fine.

Usergroups

Population of Groups (Score: 10/10):
Didn't know how many admins are there because the admin group is hidden but I'll just count the other staff members by groups, I'd only see the moderator group as the staff members on the forum, so far, I'd counted above 3 moderators, that's a brilliant amount of moderators on an active forum, but if you think the forum needs more mods, add 1 more to keep the forum clean, didn't count the other groups because they are just for miscellaneous, but nice work on the amount of moderators on the forum.
Staff Groups / User Groups (Score: 7/10):
I'd counted about 8 usergroups on the forum, your groups seems to have point and almost all of them relate with WWE(wrestling) nice work, however, I don't know what's the function of the groups 'siblings', but the description of this groups seems to have use so nothing wrong there, The groups also shows where are the members classified, if they are on RAW,ECW,SMACKDOWN etc., nice work, but may i suggest you to show the admin group so the members and guests will know who is who for personal reasons like technical questions.
