Overall Concept
One thing that I really like is the concept behind PostNEarn. It really gets your users involved in the website because in the long run, they get something in return from you, whether it be posts on their forums, a domain name or even hosting. I really haven't seen anything like this before in my years of being a webmaster, and it makes me happy to see you take an idea that you had and turn it into something that you have right now and be able to take what you have now and go larger. I feel that the user engagement is imperative for any website to work, no matter the niche or genre, and PostnEarn hit that right on the head of the nail. If you think about it, users are more willing to post on PNE, which benefits you, and in return for their posting, you return the favor, which benefits them. I am really excited to see where you take PostNEarn because the idea is awesome and what you have now is awesome, now it's a matter of time to see the advancement of PostNEarn.
The Theme
The theme, it is a great base for something great. What you have now is a professional looking theme that fits well with your niche. I really haven't seen the theme around before, which is a great thing, and if you were to customize it a little bit more, you would have a great look to a great idea. I love the idea of the fading text just under the header, which I just had an idea about. What about instead of news showing there, you put text ads? It would be something else your user's could spend their points on, and it would be a location where it would be viewed, so it would be worth the points. You could set up certain packages offering different time intervals, which of course would vary in time.
Weaknesses:
Header and Logo
The first thing that caught my eye was the size of the header in relation to the contents inside of it. Due to the size of the header, the logo is pushed near the top more than being centered in the header div, which was the very first thing I noticed once PNE loaded. Regarding the logo, maybe something can be done with the blackened letters, they are a little loud in contrast to the blue background currently being used in the header area. Maybe a color that fits within the monochromatic spectrum of the current shade of blue, something like #234d6e? It's just the black is an eyesore when laid against the blue color, and something of a different color may look a little softer and welcoming.
While talking about changing colors, something that I am a big fan of is changing the color of the ".tcat" element from the default of the theme. I opened up my Google Dev Tools and changed the color of the '.tcat" from "#5498CD" to your "#panel" color of "#204867" and it made the colors flow together and just makes things look better in the thread view. It's not something that you have to do, but it matches your current theme and keeps things crisp looking.
Final Remarks:
Overall, I am very happy with what you have done with PostNEarn and I will eagerly wait to see where you take it. Get more people interested in the idea, and I see PostNEarn doing very, very well and might partner up with other websites to bring more to your users than just posts, domain names and hosting! Great job Dan!
