My avie pwns yours.
Administrator
Appearance: 7.5/10
Web Template:
I like the template that the website has. It's simple yet professional, organized and easy to navigate. Background and banner color is too dark in my opinion.
Forum Skin:
First off the skin on the forum looks great, but it is used on way too many game related boards. I would have liked it if you chose a more unique skin or even a custom made design. The banner does not match the skin at all, maybe it was from a previous skin. If you do however make a new banner I would suggest that it'd be around 800 pixel in width to align with the rest of the forum. I noticed below "atkshop guilds" you have not edit the "Your name here" yet. At the bottom where your affiliates are, you should probably add a table to align them up in one line. It looks messy the way it is now.


Organization: 7.5/10
Your forums are too broad and general. You could add new sub-forums to the Writing and Literatures such as: Fan fiction, Stories, Poems ect., For the General Gaming you can have sub-forums such as PSP, Playstation, Xbox. ect, since this is an off-topic forum it would be appropriate. I have also noticed your forum description is very short and brief hence the "broad and general" I was talking about.

Members: 7/10
Considering your board has been opened for almost over a year 300 members is a very low amount to have. Most of your active members are ones who has registered since 05' glad to see them still active but you need to get new active members. I suggest joining as many topsite and advertising as much as you can.

Post counts: 8/10
40,000+ post count is pretty high for only 300 members, but most of it is from spam/rabbling forums which I do not consider real post, but still impressive for few active members.

Originality: 7/10
Most of your forum I have seen before, nothing really special but your site does have a combination of everything. I don't know, I have never really been on an off-topic forum before. The content of the website is really unoriginal since almost of of the links lead to the forum, but I don't really see why you need a website either, since you don't have to put any database such as resources and graphics up.

Overall: 7.4/10
Overall I thought Off-Topic Chat was pretty typical. It just need some new and interesting forums. Some contests would be really great and exciting for the members as well. Forums are too broad and I think there may have a problem if someone was looking for a specific topic. A support forum would be good too. I can see love/relationships, politics, debate, contest fitting into one of the categories. With some editing and advertising the forum would be alot better. As for the site, all I can say that it's there for easy navigation through the forum. Don't really see it's purpose much.
