| iWebBuddy's Forum Review - Allawesomeness.omgforum.net ( Part 2 ) Mon Dec 28, 2009 10:00 pm by Marc
Graphics :
Logo :
I do not like the logo for the forum. The combined colors do not even match with the style of 'Allawesomeness' ( the forums name ) . I think that a normal font with a transparent background will be nice. Also, it would be better if you stick in one image ( mascot of the forum ) if you listen to my advice in the transparent image I just said about.
Marks - 2/10
Forum's Template :
Very colorful sites normally hurts peoples eyes and that is mostly what I see in this forums template. I like the background, because it is around Christmas time ( even though Christmas passed about 2-3 days ago ) and the snow-flask images looks nice and welcoming. I do not like the way the colors are just wildly used. I think it would be best to stick to a primary and secondary color for a site.
Also, when I hover over a link on the forums, the link changes color ( light pink ) and it mixes in with the background of the forum making the text very hard to view.
I love the images used on the forum ( candy cane ) . It really brought out the Christmas theme of the forum. And that Christmas tree at the bottom ( on the "who is online" menu ) of the forum looks awesome and I love how a calender was used in the "Birthday" table below the "who is online" menu.

Content :
Main Content :
I am seeing a problem with some of the content. This was said in the forums description : "and everything else that YOU thinks AWESOME".
There are many discussion forums on this forum ( Allawesomeness.omgforum.net ) , and nothing has been said that members can do this. I do not support saying the phrase that was said above that was underlined. People think different things are 'awesome'. So, with that being said, anyone visiting the forum can think differently and that is a problem.
Now on to the good remarks. The forum has an art gallery, a place to share art work, ect. That is normal in most forums, and that means graphic designers can share work and others can share their opinions about it. There are other places on the forum that are quiet unique where you don't see on much forums, like 'stories', 'poetry' and 'songs'. And, I can not forget about the 'role playing' forum where members can role play. Everyone loves to role play, but it takes up a lot of time and that is what will make the forum members stay in the community.
I also see there is an advertising area. That's a good idea if you want a few extra posts on a forum and a few extra members that wants to advertise.
The other forums looks normal. Advice forums are great to have, and if your focusing birthday topics in one forum, then you are sure to see members posting 'happy birthday' to even people they do not know ( but I can be wrong ) . And by doing that, more posts will be on your forum.
Now, I just noticed that this forum has an arcade. I like it, but it needs a little more organising and it will be nice.
Marks - 28/40
Organisation :
This is the main problem that a lot of work has to be put into. The wrong use of organising can confuse visitors of a forum.
This category names, 'Just For Fun', should describe what the forums inside the category should discussions be about. This goes for the forum, 'Room Service' as well. This appears on the links of the forum, and it can confuse a lot of people, and search engines will pick up some wrong information. So, I suggest naming the categories similar to what the forums attached to the certain category is about.

BackLinks :
There are much more backlinks than last time I reviewed this forum. This is good. With more backlinks, there is a higher chance on building page rank and gaining a little more traffic. Also, there needs a lot more back links to be built because this is just a good start.
