Congratulations! Your free forum review has been completed. The forum review will hold many tips, suggestions, comments, and feedback that's convenient and voluntary for your forum. Here is your forum review:

1. First Impressions (Score: 18/20):
   Ok, I really think that this forum is improving from the past months I reviewed this forum, looking really interesting and nice, very nice looking and friendly forum which makes the guests join, nice combination of colors too which makes it look friendly, everything seems to be organized on the index and looks informative, I also liked the balloon thingy falling/floating around the index, looks special and makes it colorful around the forum which is really nice, From the index view, I can also notice that the forum is really active, nice job, however, one thing that looks negative is the forum's width, I don't know if this only for my screen resolution but i would have to scroll to the right to see the widgets there, I suggest you to fix that one.. other than that, it will look better if you'll get it sorted, however, you still had a nice work here!
   
   
2. Categories & Forums (Score: 7/10):
   -You really had a nice set and amount of forums for the content and activity/population of the forum which really looks brilliant!
   -Each forums has large amount of posts which looks gorgeous and active! Same with the activity of the forum, most of the forums had the latest post being made today and yesterday which is brilliant for the forum!
   -Really nice organization of forums, which means their arranged from important to non-important which looks professional
   -The appearance of the categories and forums are nice, nothing looks special however looks really organized
   -Here are some negative things i saw on this criteria, I don't know if the forum on which you can talk about bearville should be called general discussions forum, I would recommend you a more specific name like bearville talk since general discussions means off topic discssions, I suggest you to fix that one, one more thing is the description of the 'help' forum, I don't really know if it's nice to have a description that says 'help!, help! help!' I just don't think it's proper to give that kind of description, a more specific one for the forum would be better. Get that sorted.
   

1. Graphics (Score: 8/15):
   Banner:
   Very nice banner there, looks nice however it looks a bit simple, nevertheless, it looks brilliant for the forum, the bear thingy also makes the forum look a bit cute which is nice, the font used is also nice, however I can also say that it looks a bit rough thus making it low in quality, it could have been better if you'll add more designs to it such as images. But nice one for the effort(3/5)
   
   Navigation Bar:
   the main navigation bars you have at the index looks nice at the moment for the forum, the colors are very fitting and the images you have beside the navigation bars are really nice, the font is also nice since it partners with the font of the banner you have, however, same as the banner, the navigation bar may look a little bit rough thus making it look in low quality, the navigation bars could have been better. But nice for the effort(3/5)
   
   Forum Icons:
   I didn't saw much of a graphics on the forum, not that so many images/icons you can see on the forum, therefore I would suggest you to add atleast some more graphics to the forum(such as to the forums) to make the index look more interesting, it'll look better, now to describe the graphics you have at the moment, I think they're fine,(the forum icons), looks really nice for the forum.. so as I suggested above, adding more graphics to the forum will make the forum look better.(2/5)
   
   'Who Is Online?' Image
   Didn't saw any 'Who is Online? image so i won't include this category, but it'll look good if you'll have one, as i suggested above, adding more graphics to the forum is not bad, will make it look better.(x/5)
   
   
2. Forum Layout & Colors (Score: 10/10):
   -The colors you currently having on the forum(yellow and red) is really nice for the subject of the forum, looks nice
   -Colors on the forum looks very well organized since there's less colors found on the forum
   So i don't really see anything wrong here, keep that up.
   

1. Population of Groups (Score: 9/10):
   So I'd counted a total of 6 staff members on the forum(on the rules and regulations forum), i think that's a nice amount of staff for now since they are all moderation staff, I think it's better to have that amount of staff, specifically 4 administrators are not really bad but they're many to be considered which makes the forum look unprofessional, for my view, moderators should be larger in comes of it's number than the admins, so in short words, the number of mods should be greater than the admins, but, even though, that still looks nice.
   
   
2. Staff Groups / User Groups (Score: 10/10):
   I think there are only 2 groups on the forum(administrators & moderators) according to the topic on the rules forum, so i think that's really a nice set of groups, i don't see the point of adding more groups since it's really organized for now, so nice work here.

   the total amount of messages posted on the forum by members looks really nice, 9900 posts is a nice acheivement, but I could have expected about 15,000 posts on the forum considering the amount of members logging in, however, keep that up, as I'd mentioned above, the activity of the forums is nice, keep it up!
