Hello there, I'm gonna take my take on things and try to help out.

Good Aspects:
1. First off, even though I've never seen a horse roleplay forum, you have a lot of things thought out. Basic real world horse habits and actions are all noted and regulated quite in depth. Nice work on that.

2. I love your layout, with the colors, and your graphic gives your site quite the peaceful feeling. I'd assume a horse's everyday life can be calm, and you captured that excellently.

3. Your rules are really in depth, they give a feeling that you have your share of experience in horse RPs because they seem fair and well planned.

Bad Aspects:
1. It is very recommended that you have a map. Territorial based RPs are so much more easily managed with a map. It also will give members a nice idea if anyone ever wants to steal territory from other herds. If you already have a map, I did not see one in my look through.

2. I know I said I loved your layout, but it doesn't really have a feeling that it's about horses. More like zebras. Having brown mixed in, a light brown, a dark brown or both, would add some more variety. I always though the best looking horses had some light brown hair flowing majestically in the wind, as they trot, gallop, or sprint, and I'm not even a horse person! Maybe some green? Just a pixel of green.

3. You could also expand on the rest of the world you have created. Uathuil is the land of horses, but what other lands are outside? So many things you could build on.

Overall: I noticed that your site is quite new. You have somethings to improve on, but you're headed in the right direction. I'd give it a 7/10, you can roleplay with what you have. A whole entire world is ready to be made, while still keeping it a horse RP.

hinasil, Thank You so much for Replying! I want to take the time and reply to everything you stated

Thank You for including these, as it gives confidence to the forum. I would rather have a few good aspect to go along with the bad ones because at least than I don't feel like a fail. I'm not gonna take credit for our amazing layout, because the main image it is based off was made by one of our members, whom did a fantastic job. And the rules took a while, but I hope they explain everything. Thank You for taking the time to go that in-depth.

Bad Aspects:

I'm gonna try and respond to everything individually. Thanks for being so indepth.

1. It is very recommended that you have a map. Territorial based RPs are so much more easily managed with a map. It also will give members a nice idea if anyone ever wants to steal territory from other herds. If you already have a map, I did not see one in my look through.

The idea of a map is actually being thought of, we are just wanting to be careful. Because we have room for expansion in both Uathuil AND the world around, we are trying to figure out the size as well as how to space everything. Most horse RPGs don't have maps because they are constantly changing. Most herd lands don't have a SET appearance, the new leaders change the layout of the land and description. But, it is being discussed among our graphics member and it might actual happen in a few months when we have worked out all the finer details to allow for expansion.

2. I know I said I loved your layout, but it doesn't really have a feeling that it's about horses. More like zebras. Having brown mixed in, a light brown, a dark brown or both, would add some more variety. I always though the best looking horses had some light brown hair flowing majestically in the wind, as they trot, gallop, or sprint, and I'm not even a horse person! Maybe some green? Just a pixel of green.

Haha, I never thought about that, but it is an actual Equine, so Zebras could technically be considered Equine. We went with that because of the seasonal plot(a harsh winter). It is gonna be a dark time with NPCing. I will try and use the color ideas for the next theme(which will be kinda springish I hope).

3. You could also expand on the rest of the world you have created. Uathuil is the land of horses, but what other lands are outside? So many things you could build on.

Actually, the outside world is mentioned in our 'Story' thread, but we are keeping it to just Uathuil at the present moment. Once we have more members, we are gonna expand. Equine can actual come from the outside land into Uathuil, so there will be plenty of plotting potential to expand into the lands slowly. If members wish to expand. I didn't want to OVER LOAD the new forum with a lot of boards, just the basic lands of this world.

Overall: I noticed that your site is quite new. You have somethings to improve on, but you're headed in the right direction. I'd give it a 7/10, you can roleplay with what you have. A whole entire world is ready to be made, while still keeping it a horse RP.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have no idea how much this is appreciated!

That's a cool way to keep track. Keep doing it. I also think I knew zebras were equine, but I'm just not an expert.

Other than the background choice of selection, the site looks nice.
