I've been very busy and we are short of active review staff, this culminates to mean that we are really really behind on reviews.

Members and posts (5/10)
Your site could have more members, which would lead to more post and a bigger forum. You only have 173 members and only 159 active users. I would suggest advertise the site to get more members and delete inactive members, this way the site looks active and make people want to join[

Appearance (6/10) The skin is kind of plain and boarding, and it’s not exactly an excellent one, anyway. You should find a better skin on with some color and pizzazz the will make member want to join. You may want to try to look for some free skins if you don’t have the money to buy a paid one, but if you have the money I recommend a paid skin, you will find better skins if you pay for them.[

Originality (5/10)
The site seems to have originality to it from the categories to the forums to the special features such as vBGallery, VbDownloads, the arcade and the links to site like Myspace, Hotmail, Facebook, Vbulletin, Google, Gmail and Hotmail, these are great add on the will attract more members to the site, many site don’t even offer special features nice touch

Staff Quality (1/10) Poor, there was only one staff member logged in on the day I did the review. There should be a staff member logged in all the time if possible, so if a member has a question or problem they can get help right away and they don’t have to send a pm or e-mail and wait for a reply

Layout (5/10) This is good to see, your forum is easily categorized and easy to see and locate forums. Nothing is outta whack. Has some organization in it. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Overall Rating (22/60) Nothing spectacular. I’ve signed up, but I don’t plan on being very active. There’s nothing to really encourage members to participate and post.

Thanks for the review..

Hope it wasn't too harsh, but it was what I tought of the site and what needed to be improved

[JadedSouls]

It's the harshest one we have had yet but every site has areas of improvement it needs to work on.

As for the members, we prefer quality over quality - what's the sense in have 3,4, or 500 members if they're not active? This site has over 500 and there's barely any activity at all. I also think for the site being reopened since June and having over 100,000 posts is pretty damn good too *lol*

We've had previous styles to the site that weren't the default one but no one ever used them or they just preferred the light skin - easier on those not having high speed or fast computers..
