| SneakyCodes Active Gaming Community First Impressions - Rating: Excellent When I first entered your forum I was amazed. It's not very often that you see a very nice forum, and yours is one of the best I've seen. Aside from that, I did notice some minor flaws, but those flaws will all be mentioned throughout this review.
Firstly, I always look at the portal first as my first impression, so here we go. Your portal is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. However, I did not like how your middle category goes beyond the left and right sides, and I believe that every side should be leveled with widgets, and nothing goes down toward the footer than the other. This provides a faster navigation, and looks much better. Overall, your portal looks very nice, but needs some re-organization to level the widgets.
As for your home page, I would like to say that I am stunned by the overall design and uniqueness of your forum. I love the customized mouse, and the nice sliding widgets on the left. Graphics & Layout - Rating: Excellent Your forum's design looks very pleasing as I mentioned before. I love your forum's background, banner, and it's theme all together. I like how your chatbox also has some sort of design.
Banner: Your banner looks so professionally designed, and I like how it definitely matches your banner. I can really feel some good vibes coming from your banner because it's design is just totally exquisite.
Navigation: I like your navigation bars because they too match your forum, and because you gave it some sort of hover effect. The only thing I didn't like was your RSS button being out of place. I recommend putting the RSS button somewhere floating on the right hand side.
Forum Icons & Miscellaneous: I really like your forum's icons because they're all made so professionally, and you can definitely tell. I also like the gloss effect, and the uniqueness of your images. Aside from your forum icons, I like the fact how your forum uses it's own made images like your vote bar, who is online image, and etc.
Overall, your forum is doing great in its design. Forum Activity - Rating: Good Your forum's activity rate being members coming online, is great. But, your activity via posts needs some work. Your forum only has 13,000 posts, when you have 2,000 members. You really need to contribute more posts each day. With 2,000 members, you should already have maybe 50,000 give or take a few thousand. Keep your forum updated with new announcements, games, contests and etc. Staff & Usergroups - Rating: Average In my opinion, your forum has an excess amount of user groups. An average forum only needs the base three: Administrators, Global Moderators, and Forum Moderators. But seeing that your forum is mainly a discussion forum, that may be an exception. However, even if your forum is a discussion forum, you should still limit yourself to at least 6 or 7 groups at the most.
Aside from that, you have the perfect amount of Staff. Just be sure not to over populate your Staff list because this may hurt your forum's activity rate. Originality & Unique Quality - Rating: Excellent Your forum is one of the most unique forums I have reviewed. It's not the best (I've seen better), but it certainly is very unique. The uniqueness of your forum ranges from your banner all the way to the posts your members make. Each post made by your members makes your forum more unique in it's own special way. To conclude this review, I would like to congratulate you on your high scoring, and I would like to wish your forum good luck. Never give up on your forum, and keep on going. |

| Pretty impressive considering some of y'all were giving up on SneakyCodes. It has come a long way since I first joined. ( I was like the seventh member to join) And to think this site currently has 2153 registered members it's quite good. I remember when other familiar sites had more member then Sneaky, but as time flew by SneakyCodes passed them by a mile. So congratulations to SneakyCodes and everyone who made it possible. |
