Detailed Review: Nowitscheaper

First Impressions

The forums seem full, the forum suits the PhBB software (which I noticed straight away), and the red looks good.
I also notice about three/four different usernames (last posts) colors.[/b]
8/10

Theme

The forum looks right for a discount/freebie/competition forum, though I am surprised it is a wholeforum at all- I was expecting it to be attached to a website.
The name 'Nowitscheaper' is a good name, though rather long.
7/10

Skin/Graphics/Design

Green or red seem to suit Nowitscheaper, the forums probably need more interesting, and new icons, and the logo/banner isn't that inspiring, I think the logo could probably be more eye catching. The colours look good, green or red seem to suit NIC.
The forums are the right width, suitably the right size.
4/10

Spelling/Grammar

The grammar and spelling are surprisingly neat, though you missed a few full stops at the end of some forums.
Slightly confusing, the first few forums end with '!' and the next few '.' and a few scattered full stops or spaces.
It seems to cover everything (the forums).
9/10

Statistics

Almost 300 members, almost 1.7k posts, and almost 1k topics, is okay.
However, I think you should ask more people to join your newsletter, and regularly update them, say every week or fortnight.

Contributions/Income

I see a few brands affiliates are on top/bottom of your forum. I suggest having a section somewhere where you have offers that are just for your members from brands, and perhaps inquire into getting more brands interested in advertising in your forum.
Perhaps require members to pay a £1/$1 to get into the special offers from selected brands section? Or something similar if you didn't do that.
4/10

General/Last Notes

I really like the forum. The Price Comparison tool is really handy, and I suggest getting something similar to the logo on that, rather then your current one.
I think you should request/pay/ask someone to design your forum, perhaps make a custom theme, so it looks less default.
Looking back, I'm confused. You seem to have three different designs- one for the Price Comparison, the forum, and the main website...? Make them more similar, or something better. I'm not really sure if you wanted me to review NIC or the forum? The link was for the forum, so I reviewed that. But you should list more options, and more pages on the main site, and perhaps add more offers.

Overall Verdict/Rating: 8/10
