Generalities

1. First Impressions-14/15
Your forum
have improved ALOT! New banner! I love it so much! Your favicon is awesome too. Although it looks like Skype's icon. Wait is it Skype's icon? I like the icons much better now! Its like a whole gray set except for 2-3 icons that does'nt match the set. Basically the icons gives more color to your forum. And i dont think grey would be a smart choice.
2. Categories & Forums-13/15
Neat. Much much neater than the previous time i visited:) More categories would be better. Technology forums should have alot of categories by the way. You can find some examples @ Geek Police. But remember, copyright rules.

Forum Style

1. Major Graphics-6/10
Much better now! Your banner is finally up! I love it! But the only problem i dont really like with your banner is the text that says "Solutions.net" You dont own Solutions.net but Solutions.forumotion.com Better get the changes done. Your forum description too!
2. Forum Layout & Color Scheme-7/10
I just realised you have'nt change your skin yet. The icons made me think so. I know that you're looking for a basic skin as you posted in Admin Talk And Forum Support. I came up with 2 which was suitable. If you dont like it, i can carry on searching more for your forum.
3.Images & Icons-8/10
Good job on adding the icons! I love it much more now! Maybe you can create some graphics for your forum? Like more banners and affiliate images too.

Usergroups

1.Population of Groups-6/10
Still nothing here. You only got 2 groups with more than 1 member inside. Actually, its 3 but Dimon in the super mod group does'nt count as he's you. You should respect your forum rules by not creating multiple accounts. Even if you want to do so, you should name it "Bot" instead.
2.Staff Groups / User Groups-6/10
You for 5 groups now. Growth of 2. Staff groups==>3 I think you should change the "V!P" group to "VIP" group. But good try on creativity.

Forum Activity

1. Post/Member Ratio & Quantity-6/10

Our users have posted a total of 85 messages
We have 15 registered usersQuite a good ratio for a new forum. But of course, room for improvement here.
2. Users Active-4/10
Members connected during last 24 hours : Aashik, Attempt, dimon, James, Joel, warrior (6 Members) i would say you did poor here. Aashik and Dimon are both you. And Owners should always be active. James is a Moderator so its expected of him. Attempt is the newest member currently with 0 posts. So its as good as 2 members only. But be patient, members will arrive soon;)
