Please take your forum off Maintance mode

It is out of maintenance mode. Was only there for a few hours so bad timing, I suppose.

Boards/Categories:
There isn't many categories. The good thing is, you have not many boards, which I don't like, but they're all filled with posts. Even though you only have 9 members. I would say add a little bit more to some of the descriptions.

Ranking: 8/10
-----------------------------------------------

Graphics
You have a banner and icons. I would suggest getting and affiliate button. This would help you get more members. This bit is quite hard for me... I'd also sugest you getting some on/off icons ig you don't have them and some head and base images.

Ranking: 7/10
-----------------------------------------------

Content
All the boards are full and it makes it look better. The content is quite good because you are including some things about the team and you are filling all the boards. I think the Clubhouse board is to full for the amount of members you have, especially when it looks like you've tried to hard and to fill it with posts.

Ranking: 5/10
-----------------------------------------------

Skin:
I like the skin a bit, but it is quite plain. A nice background image would do well and other colours than white and black. There is to much white and I suggest you add more colours, otherwise members will leave and guests will never join. The skin I know is premade, but you should try to make one yourself and put lots of work into it.

Ranking: 4/10
-----------------------------------------------

Overall:
OK, so maybe I like your board. Maybe some of your things ae a bit to full. So here's the overall rate.

Ranking: 6/10
Keep up the good work!

Boards/Categories:
I really don't mind you having that number of boards. It looks just right for a forum with nine members, so, keep it up! But, I'd rather you be more descriptive about the boards. It'll look better that way. Two categories are fine, but, why not more... creatively made? Your forum'll look better once it's freshen up a bit.

Ranking: 9/10

I really like your banner. It really matches your forum. And it's also big enough to fit, but, why not have your board name on it? That would be nicer. I like your menu buttons, good job on it! And, also your On/Off icons. It looks great. And, finally, I really like your affiliate banner, so, good luck!

Ranking: 9/10

Content
Wow! You really have all boards filled up! Unlike Just Me, I think that the Clubhouse board with it's number of posts are fine. I mean, what would be better than relaxing after a long hard day? But, try to keep all those posts active!

Ranking: 9/10
----------------------------------------------

Skin:
I like it, but, I don't find it plain at all, which is good enough for me. I really think your colors match, so, good job on it! ^^ But, once you get more members, I think that you really need to change the skin to their interest.

Ranking: 9/10
----------------------------------------------

Suggested Things:
Okay, all that I'm suggesting is:

• Improve the Skin
  
• Have forum name on the Banner
  
• Keep threads Active
  
• Be more descriptive about the Boards
  

That's all for now!

Overall:
It's nice, but it could use some work on! ;D

Keep up the good work!

Can I ask you what board you are looking at? My board isn't black and white and never has been. There isn't a single thing on my forum that is white. It is either red, navy blue, or a slight shade of grey. Plus, I have an affiliate table and affiliate banner, along with new/old post icons. So you're wrong saying I have neither. The current template I made and is NOT premade. Based on your rate, nothing you said makes sense and I'd assume you made most of it up.
