Great apologies for the long wait.
Boards/Categories/Content: Some boards seem to be getting along well, whilst others have little or sometimes no posts. Do not leave a board with no posts on it as members rarely like to start without example, put something in to show them what to do. Some of the categories have a lot less posts in than others, try moving them around so people might come to different ones first; could make them more likely to post in them. A lot of it is probably down to having few members, really crank up the advertising, find some other sport forums and try to attract members from them.

-----------------------------------------------
Graphics: Okay, the main banner is very good, it really stands out from the background of the forum which is effective in grabbing attention. I like how it is not to populated and has been kept simple, but is well put together,

----------------------------------------------
Coding: Narrowing the forum so that you could use two backgrounds was a good idea, helps to focus attention in the middle. Good look with the PM section opening above the PM text. Could change the affiliate table to a random one; scrolling one has a tendency to look tacky.

----------------------------------------------
Skin: The header and footer images look good, again they are simple but sometimes that is all that is needed. I think that the folder icons edit: on/off icons need changing, they are a small thing but when they don’t match the rest of the skin it damages the look. The menu icons at the top of the forum also look out of place, they don’t match this skin at all; when the page loads up you see them first and the colour does not look effective with the background, plus I think they should be spread out a bit more. The text for the PM does match the text in the banner, which is good, however it looks a little dull just as it is, maybe just put a box around it or something.

Any additional information: I like your signature by the way, ;D.
Overall: The forum looks good, it is well organised, but be careful not to pay more attention to some boards than others. Make a few small modifications and keep advertising and you’ll probably find that once a few more members have joined; more will follow.
