SOLEMN - Post-apocalyptic RP forum.

[Monster]

desecrated.org (ProBoards hosted, forgot other url)

- Quick overview: After apocalypse, different races/classes to choose from. Awards system, regular/semi-regular updates. Active staff, also very friendly/welcoming. All original & open to most age groups.
      Edit: also news, announcements, different arcs, general discussion, also added ads board/affiliates board.

- I'm very nervous about asking for critiques, so please don't come out and say "IT'S AWFUL." We tried very hard to come up with this idea and are doing our best to be incredibly active. This is my FIRST forum, so I do need help and advice!

- Experienced hosts, please (if you don't mind) after critiquing would you offer tips as well? Keep in MIND, please, this is a roleplay forum.


Thank you very much for taking the time to do this!

Heya Monster !

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

First and formost your site looks pretty good so far, it does have a dark post apocalyptic feel to it, and everything is easy to read! Very good!

There are some changes / problems I can spot right off though:

• Firstly, your banner isn't wide enough for your site, it only stretches over half of your total forum width and makes the site look a bit wonkey. I would definitely suggest getting a bigger banner, one that is the same length as your forum and stretched fully through the header part.
• The next thing is a small thing really. I noticed the order of your boards could probably be a bit better, you start off well with a category about your important information, but after that you should probably have your character profile related boards (profiles, plots, etc) boards that relate to your in character stuff but themselves are not in character. Your role play boards should probably follow after this and your last category should probably have all of your OOC boards (chat, staff board, questions, plug).
• On the same topic of your boards I would also recommend looking into board template remodels, they make your site look unique and strip out any unessisary information that makes your boards look cluttered (board ---> topics --- > lastpost, etc).
• Your side tables are orginized well only have the nessisary stuff in them, but they're a bit bland. Adding some span styling or div containers to them could make them look a lot better! I also recommend maybe including some sort of census table!
• Its completely optional, but finding some remodels for your info center and your site mini profile could be cool too!

LOOKING DEEPER

Really most of your sites issues are cosmetic, I don't really see anything wrong with the information you have. Your rules are good, everything's orginized, and your plots pretty unique. Though, I do recommend maybe rereadinf it and tweeking it because some of the grammer and wording makes it a bit difficult to follow. Other than that, really I don't see much. You've done a good job!

ALL IN ALL

Its a promising site! You've done a good job with it so far! It just needs a few small changes to make it stand out from the rest!
