First Impressions - Rating: Good
When I first arrived at your forum, I was somewhat impressed by many things. Although, I did notice a few flaws at first glance like how your navigation bar images need balancing, as the Portal and Register buttons are at different lengths from the rest. When I first arrived at your Portal, I noticed that it really is a place of entertainment. I like how you have certain types of contests available, and I really like the balance of widgets equaling the same amount, and none go beyond each other. I also noticed the personalized mouse, this is a very nice feature and it caught my eye on my first visit. i also noticed much entertainment throughout the entire forum, and some very nice graphics. But everything will be listed as you go further into the review.
Graphics & Layout - Rating: Good
I really like the many graphics you have on your forum. To make it easier, I'll just give my comments towards your graphics individually: Banner- Your banner is very nice, and it really gives off the sense of your theme. I really like the design and artwork put into it, and it looks like a really good work of art. I like how the shape somehow fits in with the shape of the forum itself, and how it is like a symbol representing your forum's uniqueness. Navigation Bar- Your choice of how the navigation bar looks is a very good choice. I noticed however that the Portal and Register buttons are not in line with the other buttons, and I believe that this needs fixing. I like how when you hover the mouse over your navigation bar, they have a certain effect that makes them darken in color as well. I really like your decision towards what navigation bar to use because it really does say much about the color scheme and theme of your forum. Topic Icons ~ Forum Images ~ Who Is Online Image- I really like how your topic icons represent the title of your forum by transforming the initials of your forum into an actual image. This really helps the forum with proper navigation and shows that your forum has a professional set of topic icons indicating whether a topic is new or old. I also really like the images used in each forum representing the main topic of that certain forum. They really match your forum's theme by actually using some of the characters/monsters used in the game/show. I do however recommend that you use a Yu-Gi-Oh based "Who Is Online" image as well other than just using a globe, as it really would make the forum complete. Background & Miscellaneous- I like how your background is just one repeating pattern demonstrating a sort of technological look of your forum which somehow in some certain ways bring out the theme. I also like how you were able to place a reminder image in the top left corner of your forum. Your background and all of your graphics look very professionally well done.
Layout: As for your layout, you need to manage on making the scrolling bar smaller than what it is now, meaning that you need to do a re-organization in your forum's categories/forums. I recommend combining your "Dorms," "Battlefields," and "Yu-Gi-Oh!" forums together eliminating the least used forums to save space. Remember if it lies under the same topic, you can simply add sub-forums to that one forum.
Forum Activity - Rating: Excellent
By seeing the current posts and most active users, I can tell that you are running a very active forum. I like to see the last post date and time section in every forum to evaluate the activity as well, and in your forum, I can see that your forum is a very good on going community. I also noticed that thirty seven out of three hundred fifty eight registered user came back from the last twenty four hours. This is average, but seeing as it is twenty four hours, it is very good. I would just recommend on doing something to get the other missing members to come back.
Staff & Usergroups - Rating: Excellent
Your forum has the perfect amount of user groups. I like how you have the two main one's still remaining, being the Administrators and the Moderators. I also like how you only have five miscellaneous groups. This is a very good attribute, and I recommend that you stick to the current amount of groups you have adding no more. As for your Staff population, you are doing an average set of Staff. I would just like to recommend that as your forum's population grows, so should your Staff. Just remember not to over populate the Staff as this can make some members feel uncomfortable.
Originality & Unique Quality - Rating: Good
I think that your forum is on the right track, and I would just like to suggest that you add some more unique types of entertainments that would make your forum stick out from the rest of the same themed forums. Overall, I did notice some uniqueness though as stated before.

Stop being such a party pooper, William. We all worked together to achieve such an accomplishment, and seriously, would the staff achieve anything if there weren't any members around?
