This is the forum for my original story and role play, Era of Ascent ~ Faith No More. I am the root admin, and everything was created [plotwise] by me and two other friends who are debating joining. I've had many forums in the past, and none have been successful, but I've learned much about what people look for, so I tried to work my forum in guests likings, including adding a guestbook. I would have an original skin, but I cannot create skins to save my life, every try I've made has ended in embarrassment. I'm currently asking a friend if he would like to do a layout. Links: Forum RulesQuicknote: The FAQ are not finished yet, so please do not discuss or comment on it if it is capable to do so. Thank youThank you for any rates. |

First impressions: I like it, its clean and easy to read...
Graphics: The only graphics i don't like are your on/off buttons... Go for something bigger and less boring as a file image... Go with your main banner for inspiration, perhaps use the blue circle image as your on/offs???
Codes: I like what you have done and the only thing to do now is perhaps update your info center???
Other: Your information is well informed and perhaps a bit long winded, try to shorten them to keep members interested in reading...
Rate: I give you 9/10

Thank you for the suggestions.
For the graphics, I never cared for those buttons either, and have been searching for better one seeing as I have paint and am incapable of making them myself. Thanks for the reminder though!
I actually like the default info center. Once I get more members and staff, I'll add a legend under then members online section. I have looked at them though and have debated adding one in the past.
For information, I think the rules themselves are too long myself, and am going to edit that soon, just not the prologue. The prologue is all of the necessary information needed in my opinion to truly understand the role play or story.
Thank you

Hello Seppuku!
Graphics/Skin Your forum looks very nice. Nice color scheme, even for different shades of white and gray!
Rules Actually the rules are nice and short. Very descriptive and it explains in detail everything that you expect. Compared to a lot of forum's rules, yours really stands out (In a good way!)
Questions/Comment board I recomend adding a FAQ based off of general questions you think people would ask. That way, people can look there to see if their question has been asked already before making a new topic for something that was already answered.
Other than that I really couldn't find anything wrong with your forum. You are doing a pretty good job so far. 9/10

I actually had started an FAQ but was wondering if I should've posted it. Thanks for helping me decide. Bump  |

I've been sick the last few days, but feel better today. I will start to add some new ideas today if I have time.
For people viewing this, I may put it under maintenance mode

Graphics: The chrome look is used everywhere, get a different color scheme maybe. It is very easy to read and you obviously have enough boards for a simple but dedicated role-play forum.
3/5
Coding:The info table fits with the chrome look and is well categorized. (seriously, chrome is way overused..) 2/5 (I suggest more coding, maybe affiliating.)
Other: More posts in the boards will give your forum an active look, even if there are only three members.
5/10 Total. :/

Thanks for the rate
But, I have to say...
The thing is, nearly every choosable skin that is actually good that I see is chrome-ish, and I can't make my own to save my life, not to mention I have never seen this skin used before. You also have to take in the consideration that the chrome/futuristic feel and gray color scheme fits with the mood of the forum. It isn't a role play forum either, it's a forum about my original story and has an RP section in it.
Pretty much said the same thing as above. If it fits and is well categorized, how did it get a 2? I think affiliating is kinda pointless and just takes up space, I want my forum to be simply there and give enough information to please future members.
I just don't want to give it the appearance that the only person posting is the administrator, so I am trying to get some of my friends to join and such so there are more people to post.
