Joel, i'm really sorry to interfere in this, but i think he meant 48 hours and accidentally added a 9 and didn't see it.

Once again, sorry to interfere.

Sorry, what Evan said I added a 9 xD

huahahaha~ too bad I wasn't here to see Ferb honestly wrote 498 hours! XD

haha, okay.
and sorry about that. I was too lazy to PM it. if anyone were ever to use it to spam on my forum, I'll kill them dead, muahaha~ just kidding. ^^"

edit: oh, Ferb, I noticed that the who-is-online image hasn't been fixed yet. there is actually an icon there, but it suddenly disappeared for the time being. sorry about that. ^^"

Ummm. it's ok about the image. I'm working on it soon enough! Sorry, if time passed and I didn't get to do it! I was soo busy! D: Sorry for the delay, will be completed soon!

Do you want me to help with this one Ferb?

EDIT: No thanks Evan, I can do this.

Double Edit: I got a new review style


Generalities Related: (30 Marks)

The generalties of the forum, were pretty balanced and everything. All I noticed form the last visit form the forum, was you took all the forum widgets off, which was a good idea, because it was a bit squishy overall, before my last visit. I feel like the "Welcome to ASH!" shoudl be in the front, desk so members can see it easily and post, their introduction topic. The description for the forum topics, need to increase a bit more with my opinion, maybe add some more words, increase your words.

27/30

Graphic Designs: (20 Marks)

The banner, was the main thing and it was ok, the black text doesn't stand out and i can barley read, it. The images for the forum topics, I liked, it looked very nice, and the perfect size! Not too big not too small, just in the middle! The new posts, and stuff like that was boring, because it was the same as the theme. The theme was all pink and black, and I felt I was in jail a bit. Maybe more colors, or a backround image! The Who Is Online, image was ok, but everything was pink! Including the theme and images, it was good, but I feel you should improve more on it and start going professional and start making most of your own graphics, thats what a Administator does, to create a great forum for all!

17/20

Forum Style: (20 Marks)

The forum style looked very pretty but as I said, more colors, or a backround image for the backround! It would look great if that happened, but be carfeful remember? It has to match the forum, theme or images, so it looks nice. I liked the navigation bar, because it looked pretty too! Butterfly, and lotus image on the edges! Also start going creative, so more of the forum theme stands, out because that's a very important part of the graphics forum style. If itstands out more people will join, depending on their opinion of them and the forum!

18/20

Forum Activity/Population: (20 Marks)

The forum activity and population, was not what I expected it too be. I would advise you to advertise and promote your site, to be more active with more members, and many more, important things, that wil be important in the future! Nothing much to improve on this review area but just advertising to promote your site with more traffic/members, and popularity! Cotinue the current activity and forum popularity, and tell me when it improves big time phio!

16/20

User Groups: (10 Marks)

When, I looked at the usergroups i wasn't impressed much. I think there should be more. Maybe a Golden Members, group for members, who have been a long long time member of the forum, after you create it, which has a maximum/minimum posts of 600 posts, and they become one! Also a group for members which the maximum/minimum posts of 0 so new members group who just currently joined, can contribute into a group, instead of every member who has no rank or group is not in anything. So the members, group have a minimum/maximum of 5 posts!

8/10

Total: 86/100 Nice, job you pasted the review test!

Some improvements, but still nice job on your forum!

hmm, when I put it on the off-topic group I was planning to make it slightly different. usually it belongs to the first category of the forum, so I decided to change it. looks like it doesn't work too well? ^^"
I rarely write descriptions of my topics. I tried to make title as clear as possible, but thanks for the advice.

problem is, I can't do graphic at all. ^^" so I have to depend on someone else to do the graphic for me. looks like I really need a total make over about it. thanks, gonna look for someone to help on this! ^^

I've been doing this like crazy, Ferb, trust me. I feel like I've gone to so many promotional sites that I lost counting, but yeah. thanks, will do my best. and sure thing, I'll get back to you once I've improved some parts! XD

now, this is something I'm a bit confused. I mean, look at the number of users on the forum. we're still so small that I think making too many groups and left it empty will be bad instead. plus, we don't have that many active posters. I actually set VIP Members to have at least 300 posts to get into it. as for newbies, well, I can't figure out how to automatically add them to a group once they registered. XD I guess I have to do it manually then.

thanks for pointing some things out, I really appreciate it. I'll see what I can do.

GREAT REVIEW FERB!

Completed, 30BPs deducted!
