Additional Notes: This is certainly an excellent, professional forum. You make an excellent use of your forums homepage with an impressive rollover effect which itself will certainly attract members and improve those all important registration rates. The site is active and for good, you occupy a prime domain with a prime purpose to occupy a large amount of those possible members looking for a good clan forum but have been knocked back as of late since their quality has been slowly deteriating into a spam fest for individual clan groups. Your professional approach and sleek www.vbstyles.com design help appeal to a much more mature audience which ensures that those predominant trouble makers lurk else-where. On a side note perhaps a slight reorganisation of the forums to make them appear more logical and organised would help improve posting rates because at the moment in the "Gameserver forums "category for example the placement of the two redirect forums where they are appears a little arkward. Try moving them to the bottom of that category to rightfully shift focus to the posting forums instead.

Thanks for your feedback.

It would be a good idea if the Staff Lounge has some kind of
Rated, TOP-Rated Images so that board owners can place them on your site.

Would be a nice addition or?

Excellent idea, do you have a recommendation of a particular size which would be suitable for such an image?

Yes sure. It should be 120x120 pixels.
I am reviewing clan pages (starting next month) and have made a nice graphic for this.
Actually its top secret but its 120x120

One additional important question.

You give points for a page and you splitted the result into categories like:
Post Count: 10/10
Member Count: 10/10

You should give your members a detailed frame.
For example:

Post count 1-100 1 Point
Post count 101-200 2 Points
.....

Member Count <500 1 Point
>500 but <1000 2 Points etc.

Actually you have only a few reviews but it will become more and then its more transparent to the users.

I really like the idea that you said what you like and that you said what you don't like with giving a suggestion how to make it better.
Thats very good criticism.

If you want I will help you to design this review schema.

....aaaah and sorry for my english

I agree that putting forth some sort of template to adudicate such items such as the Post and Member count should be implemented since they are really generic statistics which are relevant in their numbers one matter what theme your forum is.

Comments: Nice well run forum, your post count per member could go up though. Try finding more about your members ideas ans interest so you can promote topics and sections to get them posting a little more.
