Site URL: http://pixl.ml Date Opened: May 1, 2017 Notes: MyBB themes, MyBB plugins, MyBB security, forum promotion, webmaster forums
Pixl is a MyBB promotion and webmaster forum. When I started the forum I had the idea that I would bring new plugins, themes, and resources into the MyBB community and lead community-driven projects. At the same time, Pixl is a host for free website promotion to help webmasters start, manage, and grow their forums.
Through our forum, you can
Learn how to promote your forum or website
Interact with other webmasters
Keep up with the leading MyBB themes, plugins & resources
Nice forum, neat, clean, dark template to take care of your eyes, and nice people around there.
I did join, I also invite you to do so 🙂(i am not associated with them in any way, I just liked it)

I like your theme! I won't lie: I'm not a huge fan of dark themes, but you're able to pull it off pretty well. You've also taken the time to add a few forum icons, which really adds some extra to your theme, and I'm really glad to see that you were willing to put in that extra work. The only thing that I'd recommend changing is adding a favicon, and editing the name presentation. Example: http://prntscr.com/fc0vfq - your site name is just "PIXL", and having it in full caps just feels a little shady. Something like "Pixel - A MyBB Community" might be better for you and your users.
I like the theme, but it looks a little basic still and some of the links are hard to see when you hover over them. But apart from that, you're on the right track and it looks nice. My main advice would be to focus on activity because it looks like you have a lot of members with not a lot of posts or threads.
I think the short domain and the name of the forum though makes it catchy and easy to remember. Good luck!
I like the forum lay out and the theme as both work for me but one thing that really stuck out was the sparse content and the two empty forums on the index. It's never good to leave empty forums especially on the main index as people are not going to post into them if they see nothing in there and it's not likely that members are going to spend time creating threads especially in the early days of a forum's life. This is why it's best to keep forums small layout wise until you have time to grow and then expand as it's likely staff will be doing most of the topic creating in the beginning and the less sections you have to fill, the better off you and any staff you have will be.
I love the theme's simplicity! Your colors compliment each other well, thus making it aesthetically pleasing. I also like the banner's main font and description; it's clean and professional looking.
On to the criticism: I'm puzzled on why there are skulls adjacent to the banner. They don't seem thematically consistent with your forum, considering it is a webmaster oriented community. I would consider replacing those!
Also, I looked on MyBB's website and they already fulfill the services that you offer currently, for instance, the plugins and themes forums. Therefore, I suggest that you fabricate a unique idea or service so your forum can grow!
