I actually love the name. I love the feel of it. Nice logo.

Whatever software you're using is awful.

I like the look of the forum but the forum software seems poor. A little hard for me to navigate.

The software is based on discourse, it is the next gen when it comes to forums. All the big sites these days are shifting to it. due to the reason of the features it provides.

I knew it, Discourse. I would recognise that thing anywhere. Especially the discobot.
I'm curious, which features draw you to it? The live stuff?

I would critique the theme, but I'm not sure you can actually do anything about the theme, I'm at a slight loss there.

Yes, it is discourse, The live stream of posts really helps it boost up. I have been using discourse on SitePoint and other top forums. Also, its just not that, Personally i don't like the feel of a PHP Based forum and its restrictions, a GO/Node/RoR forums has the freedom to do so much more, for example, Node-BB is good etc.

Also mainly its the One-Boxing feature of discourse that has got me my attention. There are several more. But for that, i would need to make a new thread. hah

The theme is custom from a repo on git-hub. I could make a new one but can't bother as of the date as i have to promo the site first. The theme part comes 2nd to me on my priority list. Let me know what you think about the theme anyway so i can improve.

Looking for more reviews

The colors, the design blends smoothly. It feels so engaging for me. I just don’t like the 300 size banner on the discussion post - it’s quite annoying on the mobile view, make it smaller.
