- As I visit your forum for the first time, I am greeted by a pleasant looking banner and a welcome page with matching colors that come together to create a good first impression. Your forum design utilizes dark colors very effectively and consistently throughout its design. I also think the border shadows around the section categories and topics are a nice touch as well. I personally think that your forum design/appearance might be the best part of your forum overall so nice work on it. This brings us to forum activity, which unfortunately seems to be nonexistent at the moment. I spent an hour or two digging through various topics throughout the forum and it appears you are currently the only one active and posting. It does appear your forum was very active many years ago, and I do hope that one day you can get the forum back to that. Transitioning over to your staff and user groups now, I will admit your user groups are very confusing to me. For example, you have both a ‘Premium’ and ‘VIP’ group, which both seem like they would serve the same purpose. Additionally, there is a group called C.E.O, that I am not quite sure what its role is. In any case, I think it might be worth taking some time to simplify and condense some of these groups together for the sake of simplicity. Let us move on now to your forum originality, your forum seems to a hybrid mix of web design/development, gaming, anime and RPGS. Each of these could be considered a category of their own, so the fact that you have combined all of these into one forum I find impressive. I also believe that it makes your forum original, since it is truly a one-of-a-kind forum. Overall, I feel your forum has a beautiful design, offers a unique blend of discussion categories, and with a lot of effort has the potential to reach its former glory once again.
