Review of Ascendency (All Points given are based on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best & 1 being the worst) 1rst Impression: 8.5 Appearance: 8.3 Layout: 7.6 Activity: 8.4 Originality: 6.7 WOW Factor: 7.75 Overall: 7.8 [Good Board] Description: At first glance, Ascendency looks fabulous. The skin is very high quality and unique. No single part of the skin is "over-glossed" and each section of the skin flows near perfectly with each other. The only issue I have is the dark line at the bottom of the .maintitle. Its a different color from every other part of the skin, which subtly throws off the color scheme. I recommend reducing the opacity of the line and I believe it would help the overall flow and schema of the theme. Each little part and design effectively adds to the overall quality and originality of the skin. The Layout of the forums and overall board is impressive! One thing I recommend is reducing the number of individual forum/categories that are being used. I believe some "compression" of the categories and forums would help the layout tremendously. This is what I recommend:
With an average of 37.6 posts per member, and only 46/199 members with 0 posts, activity is a bit above average. I personally think the activity in the general chat forums could be increased by encouraging members to post more topics. I'm equally impressed with the Staff's activity and dedication. Staff has been meticulously chosen and that time/effort has paid off. I suggest making sure you have Managers for all staff positions before hiring new staff. Managers can and should help with recruiting, advertising, and the choosing of new staff. The originality Ascendency isn't it's strongest trait, but is certainly not lacking. Ascendency seems to take into effect what helps other forums succeed/grow, and molds it into a new & original way to use for the overall good. The layout & graphics are definitely original and should suffer no penalty whatsoever. To end this review, I'd like to say, I was extremely impressed with the progress Ascendency has made in such little time. The Administrators and Staff have definitely shown their skills/talents into helping the board be the best it possibly can. Ascendency has set a bar for other small(er) boards to follow and strive towards. I look foward to seeing the bright future of Ascendency emerge! Corndog328 | ReviewEnhanced Administrator |
