Navigation: Each OOC section is labelled with a phrase not an actual title, with the description of what the forum is underneath the title. It isn't impossible to navigate, but it does stop you from just looking at the forum and spotting a section easily. Instead you do need to hunt for the OOC sections a bit more. The rules, plot, and information sections are clearly linked in one of the descriptions, so they are easy to find. The RPG/IC sections are easily labelled by location and are easy to find.

It says that the site is best viewed in safari and firefox, however, I use firefox and the forum and posts cut off on the right hand side of the screen. In internet explorer the forum scrolls as it should. Whether this is a problem due to firefox or resolution (I use 1024X768, which is the average), I don't know. But this issue makes it hard for people to view the forum properly, and it's an inconvience to have to swap to a different browser every time just to read a post.

Plot Information: The plot post is literally the RPG's advert, which states the basic plot of the RPG but does not offer any more detail. The format of the advert also makes it difficult to read clearly.

RPG Information: Plenty of information is available in the 'rules' post regarding how the RPG is played, and it's very clear what is/isn't acceptable.

The Admin: The Admin's have dedicated a section of the forum to comments, suggestions and questions. This section is also guest friendly, so you don't need to register just to ask a simple question before joining the game.

Application Process: Applicants need to complete the application template, which is a character profile plus a writing sample. This is posted as a topic and then replied to by an Admin.

Other Comments: One thing to note; there is the use of unnecessary profanity in some ooc topics.
