Brief Review

Request Type: Brief review
Extra Notes:(OPTIONAL) Please remember This forum was just created. Also, I am not concerned much about the graphics part of the review (about how the template looks) I only have the basic template so it likely wouldn't get a good review anyways.

Sorry man, my dad had taken my laptop to use and I didn't have time to make it before I fell asleep. I'll have it in 5 hours.

My grad scale:
99-100: You've done a lot, congratz for being epic.
90-98: Meh, doing really well but work and tweak a tad.
75-89: Getting somewhere but needs a lot to add.
64-74: Wow...seriously...GET TO WORK!
63: Can I just leave this at F..?

-Generalities (40marks)

Well all here is nice. The forums all seem in the right places, and the titles mostly seem to stick to exactly about their category. I do see where you put down "Customer Service" should just be something like "Comments" since you aren't selling anything and that's normally what you use it for. I see you didn't flood your forums, which is a very hard thing not to do- so good job on that.

-Usergroups (30marks)

You only have five groups. Admins, and three types of moderators. But they seem more like you're trying to make an advertising forum than a forum for Colorado Wildlife. You need to fix that-- add some groups. "Well knowledge" could fit for those who knows all the facts about what they're talking about. You have to explore your mind to make a group but don't let it leave you with unoriginal and confusing things.

Not a half bad ratio. Only five members and most of them are making a nice amount of posts for such a small forum, but it is also dying out while just starting. Then I saw when the "admin" joined:

That's not good. Either you completely quit your forum or you've been lazy. Very, very lazy. You need to promote, promote, promote if you want this site to get anywhere.

I am not biased.

I bumped everything up by 10 marks when I took out the Style part for his review.

yes, when i first created it two months ago it was under phpbb2 and it did not work on it all. i changed it to phpbb3 a week ago and that's when i really started working..so imagine if i joined a week ago, what would you give me for activity?

The same. I didn't take points off, I was just pointing that out.

well ok just one more question, i've seen other forum reviews do like this..your favorite and least favorite pat of the forum?

My favorite part is that you seemingly know what you're doing. Your members aren't spammers.

Least favorite is it's a free host.

Great job Avian.

30BPs deducted!

joel, why was i deducted 30 bp's when i got a brief review? isn't that only 15 bp's?

Heh, I thought it was 45 per full and 30 for brief but I checked. Yeah Joel, GIVE HIM HIS POINTS!

lol, thanks avian and thanks for the review

Yes, he is right. It's only 15 BP for a Breif Review, it's probably because he does so many full he forgot himselve I guess.
