Eternal Duel Review #2

http://eternalduel.darkbb.com/forum.htm

Type: all... i'll always do all

note:
~ More of my forums are viewable by non-members. but 6 of them are still members only.
~ More forums for the main theme of the site were added
~ The usergroups that show at the bottom are not staff groups. they are dorm room groups. the staff groups are 'admin' and 'global moderator'. I'm not gonna add more cause I dont really need more.
~ eh... i think thats all... =/

i am still confused about the reviewing matter....
i'll talk to Joel abt this and may be he'll review...
but your forum sounds much more better than the last time from your descriptions....
sure to get better ratings....

ok. thanks =D

Dimon,you're a Moderator now,i removed you from the Reviewers group.Any staff groups (Moderators/Admins) can also review this if they want.

I'll get this review done by today Pikapal.

ok. thanks. i gotta go to bed now so i'll see it tomorrow i guess.

Bed?I just came back from school...different worlds...i guess you can only see it tomorrow.Sorry for the delay.

wow. we have totally different times.

Generalities

1. First Impressions-9/15
I dont really like how you present your forum.The forum images that represent each forum,is way too big.The color is quite bad too.
2. Categories & Forums-12/15
Good categories since its a Yugiyoh forum.But you can try to expand and add more.Your forum images that represent each forum have to be edited.It does'nt look good in your forum.

Generalities total :: 21/30


Forum Style

1. Major Graphics-3/10
Nothing to show off here.The banner was probably taken from google.Try to create some custom Yugiyoh graphics,it will do your forum good.
2. Forum Layout & Color Scheme-5/10
As i said earlier on,you got to work on your colors.It looks very dull.This gives guests a very bad impression.
3.Images & Icons-4/10
Get some graphics done soon!Also, please remove the images that represent each forum.

Forum Style total :: 12/30

I dont know how many staff groups you have because i dont see the description.You only have 3 groups in total.Got to add some more.

The Conclusion

I'm starting to see many Yugiyoh forums nowadays.If you're thinking of starting a Yugiyoh forum,it got to be a good one or you'll lose members easily.You got to work on your colors and remove the "Free Forum:Eternal Duel".Good luck in your forum

10 BoilingPoints deducted.

darn. i was about to edit the link and show you something i just added... but i guess it'll have to wait until i decide to get another review

for staff, we got global mods and admins...

all of my forum members tell me they like the images. i thought they were pretty good =/

where it says free forum : eternal duel, how do i get rid of it?

thanks. i changed it. oh, btw

check this out http://eternalduel.darkbb.com/ not much but... eh... i like it =/

nice.Cool loading page.That'll give extra 1 mark to your first impressions.Get a better favicon also.

i cant find a good place to host .ico files =/

Pikapal try this : http://www.hostanypic.com/ for .ico image hosting .


I think you are nice at HTML because making a page redirect other page after a limited time is HTML i guess .
