Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance
Your forum uses quite a dark style which doesn't really stand out to me. It is similar to many themes and I don't see anything that gives me that personal feel. The images for each board description match well and make the navigation nice and easy. I feel that the logo lets the rest of the forum down in many ways, it is quite dark and hard to read. All in all the forum is very clean and easy to navigate, it is gentle on the eye and well planned.
The name of your forum doesn't really tell me what your forum is about and the slogan you use on your logo "Portal 4 was awesome" confuses me even more. It feels like your forum is having a bit on an identity crisis, something you really need to look into.

Site Layout
Your forum is well laid out with 4 sections. The first section containing general forum information is fine, so is the second, Computers. What I do feel about the computers section is that you have a board with only 2 topics. Adding this as a sub-board to one of the other computer boards would work better. The software section is pretty good too, but there are a few boards that contain too little topics to be their own board. Maybe Mac OS, Linux and Windows can be merged to one board called Operative Systems. The Security board can become a sub-board too.
The internet board works well, but here maybe the showcase and development boards can be merged into one board as they don't contain many topics. The community board works well too, with a good amount of topics in each.

These are good statistics, with a good post per member count. I would like to see a bit more of recent activity though from more of your members. You as an admin seem to be creating the most activity on the site. Your forum has been open for around a year and seems to be still going strong. This is really nice to see!

Staff Moderation
You seem to have 4 members of staff and 1 support admin on top of this. I find this perfect for the size of your forum. The moderation seems to be working really well too, with spambots banned while I am visiting the site even. Great work with active, dedicated staff!

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
The site looks very professional and is well run. Your spelling and grammar is fine, even if it could be improved as this is a technology forum. What I do feel is missing is board descriptions, some boards lack them and others have short list form ones.
