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: 17/20):
   When I first arrived at your forum, I took a notice at a few things varying from your graphics, structure, and your activity. I was somewhat impressed at your forum because it contains some very nice attributes. Although there are some flaws in your forum, all of whom will be pointed out in this review.
   
2. Categories & Forums (Score: 6/10):
   Your forum's Category & Forum structure is not the best that I have seen overall. On your forum you are secluding only one forum to each category when you can simply put more than just one forum in a category. This would save your forum much more space, and much easier navigation would be provided. I suggest that you re-organize the structure and balance of your Categories & Forums making them properly organized.
   

1. Graphics (Score: 14/20):
   Banner
   I do like your banner very much as it contains many graphical effects. I think that it contains the perfect content to match your forum, as well as the right colors to match your forum's theme and design. I would just like to point out that the use of beveling and embossing is found frequently, and I would just suggest that you make something new and original unlike any other forums so that yours may stand out.
   Navigation Bar
   Your navigation bar in my opinion was not the right choice to match your forum. Your navigation bar needs much improvement. I would suggest one to match the basic theme of your forum, one that contains much design. Your current navigation bar does not match your forum's theme, and I think that your form would look much nicer with a navigation bar with design; the design to match your forum's theme.
   Forum Icons
   Your forum icons could use much improvement as well, they do not explain themselves that much making new members a little confused. I would suggest to add text to them such as "New" or "Old" making them much more self-explanatory leading to a nice well laid out design.
   'Who Is Online?' Image
   Your "Who is Online" image also needs a little tweaking. The text is too dark that you can hardly see it, and the stroke on the letters is much too big. I would suggest using much lighter colors for the text, as well as a new place for the text to go. I would suggest to make the text go horizontally instead of vertically.
   
2. Forum Layout & Colors (Score: 8/10):
   Your color scheme of choice is very nice, but I would suggest using much more vibrant colors for your backgrounds. Plain black is not the best choice; I would suggest going with light blue and black or red and black. Your forum layout needs work as well; Your widgets need balance with your categories & forums so that it will not go beyond the "Who is Online."
   

1. Population of Groups (Score: 10/10):
   Your population of administrators and moderators is a very good number. Make sure that you have enough moderators and administrators to keep up with the growing population of your forum. Remember to hire more moderators as your population grows, and keep the Staff population low if it doesn't.
   
2. Staff Groups / User Groups (Score: 6/10):
   You have way too many user groups on your forum. Even for a role-playing forum, you should only keep the group number to at least no more than seven. Keep your two main Staff groups, and delete a few extras. Too many groups can confuse new members and may keep them from posting/joining.
   

1. Post/Member Ratio & Quantity (Score: 10/10):
   

   Our users have posted a total of 16959 messages
   We have 141 registered users
   The newest registered user is Kushina

   
   Your forum has a very high ratio when it comes to members and posts. If you have 16,959 posts and only 141 members that means each user had to post 120 messages each! Almost equaling the number of members you have now. Keep up the good work.
   
2. Users Active (Score: 6/10):
   

   Members connected during last 24 hours : Aiko Hatura, Amida, Cepeda Hyuuga, Cloud, Deadcore, DoubleAgent, Hana, Hilot09, Ikisho Hockisu, J Uzumaki jr, Johnny, Kazekage, Kimiko, LostLegend, Marie Kanda, Mitsu Doraibu, Toshi Sutamina, Uvaras

   
   With 141 members and only 18 coming back from the last 24 hours, is not a good thing. I suggest creating more contests or contributing more new things so that more members will decide to come back to your forum and become active once again.
