Forum's Appearance and Design (20 marks)
It seems to be a pretty nice skin, the navigation bar is nice. the banner is simple, but between all green and white the blue could be a tad odd, also, the skin pushes a bit to the right. It could be on purpose I guess, after all you have the navigation menu aligned to the right as well. I landed in the portal, which is okay, except the right side where the facebook widget jumps outside the white border background. Aside the Chatbox, nothing really matches the banner, maybe changing the green links to a more bluish colour or the banner with a bit of green will go better. It also looks a bit weird the lack of distance to divide each category. You could change the hierarchy so it keep the categories together or split them in the index while still being medium.
In general I like the icons and the forum is inviting.

Forum's Layout and Categorization(20 marks)
I am not a big fan of displaying every subforum option, but given most of your categories are a forum for miscellaneous and its respective classifications, it makes sense you have them this way. In the other hand, this 'forums' have zero posts, so it seems you intend them as categories anyways. If so, I recommend you to recreate them and make sure to change from forum to category (less options to fill) and manually move the sections that currently work as subforums for you. Mobile zone could be placed just after PC, since both are your forum niche. Member show off area (since is to talk about themselves) could be inside personal chatter, I don't think a lonely forum looks good. That aside, I like in itself the areas you have, there is a bit of everything going on and it seems a place that has what the url makes me think of plus a lot of extra areas creative enough to keep even those who feels newbies when speaking about PC and mobiles.

Forum's Activity and Amount Of Users Online (20 marks)
I don't really noticed much activity. Every time I was the only user every time there was nothing new to display, and as we know I took days, and I visited each of them. however I can see marks of it, like threads replied but only by Admins or managers. i missed the normal member recent activity. It is great the staff cares and visit, but it is way better if average users with no obligations of charge enjoy their stay as much as to post often. If they do, then maybe staff tends to be quick to reply everything, if you leave a few threads with a normal member as the last answer, at least for a while, it will make the active thread results more interesting to the visitors, more balance makes it more inviting. But at least for today that was not the case, and only admins showed in, I admire the effort though, as some did over twenty posts and all made more than five posts. Keep it up, specially if you can make one of them a new thread per day.

Forum's Posts Count and Members(20 marks)
seeing I checked the member list, the user statistics in posts and visits sounds pretty nice to me, some members with hundreds of posts, some others not bothered to post even once, yet the zeroes doesn't jump out at me as the majority, unless i order them from join date, then it all changes, zeroes are contrasted for some of this super active accounts. Have you guys been doing to many register/register exchanges? I recommend you to ensure at least an introduction or a few posts (two are enough). When there are many members with zero posts one could think the frum has something that ends up turning away your just gained members.
Now, your average ratio is 54 messages per member (total messages / total members) which is a healthy result, not amazing but good enough to make us believe of a healthy balance. Though over 2000 of the 3507 messages are done by admins alone. Which by the way seems a bit exaggerated, I counted 9 admins, but I guess it has worked nicely so far. Anyway your forum is healthy, thanks to the daily work of its staff, it seems balanced, and I hope more members stay and post often enough to keep the ratio or increase it.

Forum's Spelling and Grammar (20 marks)
Try to finish your sections descriptions with a ".", "!", "?", use "..." and have it next to the word of the left and a space separated from the word to the right... like this, same with the announcements first post, it is your visitors first impression. I could see there that the admin are relaxed, but if that is what is intended, I don't mind since I enjoy relaxed environment, some people may though, but remember your forum is a space you guys define. My advice for the spelling, is because I think since it represents all of your place, it is best to keep it the best way possible.

Score 16/20


Final Comments
I enjoyed a lot doing this review, it is just about me getting carried away, hahah, but I had some trouble that prevented me post the results until now. I also apologize for any typo.
The place is very nice and every comment I made is with my sincere hope of being of help, as usual my opinion is but a mere more visitor. Take only what goes with what you want to do with the community. bests of luck with it. Thank you very much for your patience and kind words. I'll appreciate a lot a review to my work.
