Haven't finished doing everything I wanted to this winter, and school is starting soon. But hopefully I will find time to do some more.

I will try to re-apply for a 4* rating at katz maybe in February or March after I add some more things.

Ideas on how to improve? Criticism is welcome.

Download SEO plugin so the urls go nice.

and if i were you, i would use vbulletin but your phpbb looks great!
besides that..

Keep it up and good work!

[Golden Falcon]

Sorry I like using Open Source Software. and phpBB is king in that department. Plus no licensing fees or nulled scripts.

And most modern web engines now are Optimized for dynamic searching. SEO won't really help in my opinion. All it will do is create some very useless long URL's.

It takes awhile to receive your activation emails...
I just tried registering, and I'm just stuck waiting for your server.

Not a good start.

[Golden Falcon]

Been having problems with email sending to people's spam or getting deleted by their spam bots directly.

Should be better now.

Alright, good deal...I logged in.

I love the layout...very clean, simple, but straightforward.
No flashy banners or advertisements.
The 'S' in SceneW should maybe be brought out a little more but other than that...

I'd give the site a solid 9/10.

1. Site Appearance (skin / theme) - 2
2. Content (upload to leech ratio) - 2
3. Server Speed - 2
4. Forum Layout and Organization - 2
5. Webmaster and Staff Attitude (friendliness and helpfulness of staff) - 2

Site Appearance (skin / theme)

• Crisp and clean skin customized to the site. Nice contrast and easy on the eyes. Very Nice

Content (upload to leech ratio)

• A lot of leeched content, however a ton of uploads from the staff as well and would have to say that the upload ratio is higher than most sites. thumbsup

Server Speed

• Nothing to be ashamed about in this area either. Nice speed on page loads when navigating the boards. Nothing to indicate any difference at high traffic either.

Forum Layout and Organization

• Not to many forums and very well organized. Easy to find exactly what your looking for. You definately put some thought into your organization to stay away from the "typical" warez layout. Love it

Webmaster and Staff Attitude (friendliness and helpfulness of staff)

• Friendly staff and owner. Support questions were answered politely and members were directed to sources. They were not only given answers to their questions but given direction to learn. This is the way staff should act.

10/10

As always GF, keep it up bud........... Rock On!
