Hello there xtremeoff-road,
Sorry, If this review is a lil' bit late.

Straight to the review.
I was really happy seeing the Portal page the main site. ^_^
Thats a Great Banner you got there.

Here are the "down's":

- the ads from google. be sure it really matches the forum, so that it will perfectly match your skin.
- Maintitle, I don't know if its just me, but the maintitle looks really odd. there's no image just a color. you should make a simple gradient maintitle. pm me, i'll make it for you for free.
- The The Starting Line category forums has no forum descriptions. you should be descriptive, so, newbies will not be confused whats that forum for.

Thank You ^_^
- Janine

Try link swapping or affiliating. Looks decent for the number of posts.
* Posts
Your spam forum is rising a bit in posts, maybe encourage members to post in other forums.
* Forum Activity
Unfortunately, quite low. Some forums haven't been posted in ages. Try reviving them and start some competitions.
* Originality
Racing Forum? Sounds great. Make sure you have forums that entertain other members as well. Keep on track with racing news.
* Administration
Looks decent to me, everything seems under control. Starting a few competitions would be my advice to increase popularity.
* Forum Variation and Layout
Great selection of forums. Easy to access layout.
* Appearance
Google Ads too bright, and some maintitles look not too good. Remember to match them well with the forum.

It's a really nice forum I guess! Quite dark skin makes it better I think. I also like the banner. Good job on it. And I think it has quite a big users database - well done on getting the traffic.

I think this forum is good.

If you liked my review, rep me.

Regards and thanks.

Thank you very much for taking the time!!

I guess my only question is what are you referring to when you meantion the Maintitle. Do you mean the table that holds the forum categories?

Thanks again!

Hi there, thank you for taking the time!!

LOL you too with that maintitle thing...what is that?

Yes things have died down some, we are working on advertising and now that the cars are competing we have logos and whatnot on them. We also have the trailer being wrapped with the logo and two of the cars are setup to do a photo-shoot. We also have a race next month that we will be handing out shirts at as well as have a booth.

So with the ads, your thinking they are too bright? Any other suggestions?

Forum games, I do not know any...I know they were doing some word game, but I am not aware of any.

Really nice layout, but the ads don`t fit...change theyr color

theparamount · 06-20-2006, 06:35 AM

I liked your site the minute I looked at it. Although I'm not a big fan of the type of content I like the way its laid out. Seems like definatly you need to market and get some solid members up there. I hope your site does well.

Something about that dark design that just makes it slick though.
