Hi Gojira. Thanks for putting your forum up for rating, I'd be happy to give it a shot. I like to keep it brief with new forums, which makes it exciting to rate later in its life after some great developments have taken place! - I do like both the banner and background image individually. However, I'm not sure they quite work together. It's not a disasterous clash, but there's something not quite right about it. Perhaps you could have a look into experimenting with some new images? Worst case scenario, you go back to the original and no harm done, nothing to lose!
- I like the simple, clean look to the boards and categories - simple colours, images. However, I don't think you've quite hit the perfect combination, it feels like it's not quite hit the money. The board title text, for example, is a purple colour my mind instantly associates with URL links that I've previously visited. Perhaps it's that? Point is, experiment!
- I would change the font of your 'Please consider' text beneath the title bar. At the moment it looks like its trying to hide and therefore looks a bit messy.
- I like your Welcome Box, it's presentable, clear, full of decent images and even the cbox feels like it belongs there. However, could we get rid of the 'News here' underneath?
- One of the most important things to an RP forum is its topic and story. While your story wasn't difficult to find (thumbs up!), I found it odd not to see a link for it on the left-hand column of your News/Info Table. I would definitely think about adding it to the list.
- For me, there are too many boards and such a simple and obvious solution on the table. My suggestion would be to reduce your boards to continents/featured countries (like Japan), so you have one board for AMERICA, one board for EUROPE etc. You then, inside the AMERICA board (for example), have sub-boards for United States of America and Mexico.
What I'd like to leave you with is the idea of the beauty in simplicity! (Sounds deep for a forum I know!) There's a lot of simplistic elements to your forum I really like. However, I think there's a common danger with new forums to make things to sparse and vast sometimes, and for me it's the amount of boards you have. Keep things simple, accessible and expand as the forum expands. That would be my suggestion, but I'm just one opinion. I wish you every success with it and I'm sure it'll grow into a thriving community if you take it down the right paths! Best of luck Chaz

Key:1-5 (1=needs improvement and 5=excellent)
First Impression: 3 The concept of the site is readily apparent, but the colors don't seem to mesh well for me.
Theme (colors and graphics): 3 Likes: The hub below the banner and the boards look very well polished. Dislikes: The background of the forum and the banner seem to clash. They don't work well together. Suggestions to make it better: Replace the banner with something more in line with the rest of the color scheme.
Layout: 4 Likes: Everything is easy enough to find. Dislikes: Advertisement is at the top of the boards. Suggestions to make it better: Move the advertisements to the bottom. You should order things in an order of importance, and while it is a nice gesture that you have them up top you don't want perspective guests to see an advert as soon as they come in. Many advertisers scroll to the bottom of the page by default to find the advertisement section as is, where you have it can actually cost an advertiser time.
