It's good to see a new member whose board doesn't have any rates.  Normally, I tend to stay away from boards with premade skins, but since this is a design resource rather than a board using a premade template or skin, I'll take a crack at it. Here goes: BANNERThe banner was really eye-catching because it's abstract enough for people to pause and say "WTF, mate?" Overall, I think that the banner does a great job of showing people the level of skill the designers have and is a great tool for showing off work. Good job! WELCOME TABLENo welcome table. OVERALL FORUM LOOKOverall, I must say that I was impressed by your board. I'm glad that whoever designed it took great care to make the board look amazing; it lets guests and members know that the designers of the site take pride in their work and want the site to reflect that. BOARD ORGANIZATIONNice and simple was definitely the way to go for this one. Sure, you could have more boards, but why? I think your current form of organization is perfect, and I had no trouble finding anything I was looking for. I also like the fact that you have a "Tutorials" section for people who want to learn to make some cool stuff. RULESNo rules that I could find. Let me know if this isn't the case. FINAL CALLOverall, I'd say you did a pretty good job with your board. As a semi-proficient graphic designer, I was kinda intimidated by the excellent work, but don't let that put you off! You have a really good board going, so keep up the good work! Rating: 10/10! |

Thanks for the rate. The skin was designed by KaZu if I remember correctly. You probably won't have heard of him. There is a rules section somewhere in there. For the board organisation...we cut them down as there hasn't been much activity lately. Ps: "I was impressed by your board" ... it's not my board, i've only recently became staff, but thanks anyway  . |

Rules are definitely there. Being a member there myself I might be fairly biased but here's what I think. Banner: As is known, the banner is the first thing you'll see when you load up a new page, so it should definitely be something that catches the eye. DI's banner pulls this off well and gives you a great first impression of the forum. Designer has obviously taken great care. Rate: 10/10 Overall Forum Design:Once again very nice, it's nice to see the designer (you 're right in saying KaZu) hasn't just concentrated on the banner but has made a well designed forum overall, it makes the forum feel more appealing tbh. Nice job again. Rating: 10/10 Community: The people who are actually active there? Yes they're nice and welcoming, but activity seems to be a MAJOR problem these days for DI, which is a shame, cause it's not as though the forum is ugly. The amount of people who join every day should guarantee an active forum yet it's not the case... Should look into ways of improving this, not got any ideas myself. Due to the fact that the existing community isn;t bad I won;t lower the rating too badly. Rating: 7/10 Organization/ Newb friendliness: The board is laid out nicely, simple so it isn't too hard to navigate. Good resources C: Rating: 10/10 Last Words: Good luck on getting it active again, if you need any help let me know I;d join if I hadn't already.. Overall Rating: 9.25/10 (average of all 4) |

Supposedly, only the main admin of the board is supposed to post it for rates... |

(Not to mention he is an admin himself ) |

Banner:
Love it! It's so cutesy but in a different kind of way. It would definitely catch my attention if it was a site I wanted to join.
Skin/Layout:
I love it, seems to be the in thing to do these days with the whole centred middle thing (i don't actually know what it's called so that's just my word) It's great.
Overall Feel of the board:
I like it, kinda laid back and cool.
Things that can be added:
I think the rules could be made an annoucement so they're easy to find. I also think a cbox would add a little more of a feel for the place. Prospective members could ask questions in there as well as you can chat with others. I do understand that there is the chat room put in place, but there are some people who don't have the right java scripts needed to run it.
Score:
9.5/10. It's a great site.
