First Impressions - Rating: Average

I really wanted to give you a better grade than average on this, because your forum looks so great with most of the colors, except for the overall theme is another really dark one. I'm viewing your forum on Mozilla Firefox Beta 4.2 with a screen resolution of 1980x1080. I think that from the first looks your forum is actually using too much green, seeing as oyu have a green nagigation bar, green links, and also green icons. I think that if you were to choose a different theme then things would look much better on your forum, and you'd have a broader choice of colors. Take these two screenshots for example of the possibilities. http://screensnapr.com/v/y3xEzl.png, and then black: http://screensnapr.com/v/MXuGK1.png And as you can see, you get more possibilites with other colors.

Graphics & Layout - Rating:Average

I can right off the bat tell that most of your images for your forums aren't unique to you, and that they would be avaliable to others to download. I want to start off with your header however, and work my way down. I really like your banner, and think that having the background behind it for the text looks great. Moving to your naviation bar, the "HomePage" button doesn't look quite right, the H in home is thinned out and looks elongated. This may want to be fixed. Your who is online image doesn't make much sense to use either. And finally, your icons.. The forum locked button could be improved since it is about 2x smaller than all the other icons.

Forum Activity - Rating: Poor

The only users that have logged into your forum in the past day are your staff members, except for one regular member. No users have registered on your forum too recently, and I think that this is bad since you can make the most out of this forum by advertising it a bit. I think that users would most likely want to see something else on your forum, you could probably make a thread asking what THEY want instead of making new things that may not have any use towards your forum.

Staff & Usergroups - Rating: N/A

I don't have access to seeing your staff and usergroups because of login restrictions. However, I think that you can improve the colors a bit, since the Gold Member really stands out and you cannot see it that great.

Originality & Unique Quality - Rating: Average

There are lots of forums out in forumotion about gaming, and yours to be honest does not look the best by far. I think that if you were to change alot of things up so that your members would be more happy, some more people would come to your forum and you would be successful. Good luck!
