Taggeeeedd!

That means you're going to review my forum or what? xD
I mean shouldn't someone with the rank: Forumotion Reviewer be doing this?

Sorry if I'm wrong, I haven't done this ever before so I have no clue how this works.

Drogba921, you have 24 hours to complete this review.
7 Jophy, on 14/10/2010 at 00h33
Chill out guys, give him time to complete it, we're not always here to do reviews.
8 Drogba921, on 14/10/2010 at 01h06
Sorry guys, I broke my rib yesterday and wasn't able to come on. I'll still try to do it.
9 Dark Fox, on 14/10/2010 at 07h06
No problem Drogba,
Take your time, the reason I posted was because I thought you weren't going to do it anymore.

Glad you want to do it anyway!

Greetz,
Dark Fox

This is still being tagged by drogba, he said he'll tryt o do it when he got time.
12 Drogba921, on 19/10/2010 at 02h58
I'm doing it tomorrow. I don't see how it's fair with KoS untagging it all the time... I have a broken rib, I cannot sit here all the time, and I've been working on more important stuff. You guys leave reviews too. Thank you Zoids for seeing reason.

Sorry for the delay!

First Impressions - Good
    Your forum, isn't the best I've seen upon first look, yet it isn't the worst either. There's manya things that make your forum, bad, and less that make it, good. First off, your banner, I like it, except for the scrolling text that says 2000XP et c. isn't the easiest to read. Your navigation bar isn't the best either. It's easy to read, except for the small text underneath, and you switch colors too often. If you want it the best, you need to stick to a few colors or a few themes.


Categories and Forums - Good
    Some of your forums are good, and again, some are bad. I like that you have different forums, and that they're in the right place, however saying this... White on black is incredibly hard to read, your images don't do much for your forum, and there are no descriptions, you should have descriptions to make it easier for new members like myself. Also, your moderator list, is waaay too long for each forum, you should hide the moderator list, so that it isn't too confusing and makes it less cluttered. I also don't like how you have many images for the forum description, it makes it really cluttered, and not worth looking at. Going into each forum there's a ton of stickies and announcements for each section, you want to have less to make it less cluttered, and then going into posts, the white on black is a huge issue.


Graphics and Layout - Poor
    You have some good graphics, but they aren't laid out into good places, you want to preserve this, and make it the best it can be, making the most of your graphics. Use them appropirately, and properly, and don't use too many. Your forum icons for new posts et c, have gray borders, so it makes it weird to look at, make them PNG icons with transparent backgrounds. Many things on your forum are really cluttered, and you want to make them simpler and easier to navigate.


Forum Activity - Good
    For a forum of your size, you aren't doing too good, and you aren't doing too bad either. You've had about 20 members online in the last 24 hours, which with your forum number of 465, isn't too good, however, it is school days when I'm reviewing so I can understand it. MAybe if your forum was less cluttered then there would be more members who log on and take advantage of your forum for what it is, and what it's worth.


Usergroups - Poor
    Your usergroups are realllly confusing, you have too many, they're out of order, and I cannot tell any of the groups.

    Your current order: [ Moderators ] [ Clan Leaders ] [ General of Owners ] [ AATL & FACPL ] [ RaF Mechanic ] [ Owner ] [ Junior owner ] [ FACP ] [ AAT ] [ Leader ] [ Co-Leader ] [ Recruiter ] [ Member ] [ RaF Allied clan member. ]

    Should in my mind be:

    [ General of Owners ][ Owner ] [ Junior owner ][ Moderators ] [ Clan Leaders ][ Leader ] [ Co-Leader ] [ AATL & FACPL ] [ RaF Mechanic ] [ FACP ] [ AAT ] [ Recruiter ][ RaF Allied clan member. ] [ Member ]

    and: I have no idea what the groups are about, but looking at them it gives descriptions, and many of them are not nessecary.. first off, this is terrible grammar: Forum Adminstrator Contact Person member. << What's a contact person?

    And, then, things like Anti Abuse Team member, are not needed, moderators get rid of abuse do they not? You should leave it to them.


Originality - Excellent
    I've never seen a forum like yours, never, however, your forum still has alot of work to do, most of your graphics are original except for things like the navigation bar. If you want I can help with graphics if you need it, to make your forum even more original. Keep up the good work that you're already doing, and make it better so that you can get one of the best forums out there!


I don't do many reviews, but when I do, they rock!

Thanks a lot for this very detailed review!
I completely agree with you except for the usergroups..
They may be confusing to people who don't know what the forum is for but people who play the game which the forum is made for will understand trese ranks, they're simply the same as they are in the game.

That doesn't take away the fact that you've done a great job on this!
And I would really love to get some tips about how to improve my graphic layout.

Greetz,
Dark Fox.
