Well, it's a quick review, so basically just first impressions on portal, index, and any areas of interest. Keep in mind that the button links to another website that is not mine.

EDIT: Please also check activity.

You can only request a Quick Review as a single area. All of our "General Impressions" may or may not be stated within the review.

Also, please note that this review is still up for grabs. Anyone can tag it as far as this topic goes. Wink

Quick Review - Rating: Good
    First clicking into your forum, I was greeted by a colorful banner, it's cool entertaining. If you don't know what Wacky's Webkinz is this forum feels like a General Discussion forum, I did a little research and anyone who knows what it is would get an instant feel what your forum is about. Your forum is colorful and gets a guest's attention, you have short and sweet welcome box below the navigation. Navigation is pretty simple but i would like to point out the aligning of it. I suggest to fix of fit it into one line only. Scrolling though you seem to have topics of interest to Wacky's Webkinz fans plus a large off-topic section that would appeal to some. The banner is a very colorful cartoon image and it absolutely conveys the Wacky's Webkinz theme, you can enlarge the width of your banner. I like the color combination, it is easy to read and has a multitude of colors that all work well together. I don't care for the stripes outside of the forum body, more so the fact that they are vertical, I would like to see them more at an angle. Overall a nice custom style. I looked at your board several times and at no point did you have less then 10 members online, and looking into several threads, a good chunk of your active members have avatars and signatures. I feel as they are putting the little extra in to make it feel more like a community (even if they don't realize it). You have many activities and contests. doing a great job here as well by giving members something to do besides Wacky's Webkinz talk and yet keeping them on the board. When i enter to your post page, Quick Box Reply is not activated. It would be better if it is activated for members to be easy to post. You have a fun community and are doing a great job of keeping members interested by giving them some entertainment, you have incorporated several ideas and you are well on your way to becoming a big forum. Keep doing what you are doing because it is working.

My review is not meant in contradiction of the conclusion above about the forum being an accomplished one. I do not go into a forum deciding whether it is good or bad. My only goal is to make suggestions where I believe they may help, to inspire new ideas, and to give new perspectives. I certainly could have focused on giving a lot of flattering commentary, but I do not believe I would have been as productive.
