Date Opened: 5/13/2018 Notes: PC Gaming and Technology Community, we attempted to have more of a unique niche so that we're strictly computer technology and gaming. We're a new forum looking to get as much constructive criticism as necessary so we can hope to enter some site battles and such in the future. Thanks!
I like your site, I do, but here's just some honest thoughts.
When I hear pc board I think of a pc support forum. So there's a little confusion going in when. However I will say you clear it up nicely with the sub-heading under your logo. Just something to think about.
Next I look at the gaming section and it's pretty empty. On top of that the content is pretty lq. Try to post some tutorials, videos, in depth commentary, something controversial, news, something. All the threads is just asking general questions. You have to provide your users with something valuable.
Another issue is there's more content in the general area then the actual gaming area.
I ran a gaming forum in 2013 and it grew to over 8k members and 200k posts. I'm sure part of the reason was because I was a big part of the modding scene, I posted new and unknown glitches videos, leaked games/maps/more. I had friends doing the same thing as well. Long story short it was unique, valuable content driving the success.
The site looks good, easy to navigate, you have the foundation for success. Now it's time to put the real work in. Rooting for you bro best of luck!
Thanks! I really appreciate the thorough feedback, you can count on me adding more valuable content in those gaming sections over time thanks to this.
As for the name, perhaps it's the sub header that's off putting as we're PC technology (hardware, software, programming) as well. I'll get that changed immediately, again thank you!
Your site's design looks decent and has a good layout.
The gaming section on your site doesn't have much activity.
I'd say if you have the budget for it, then get some paid posters to post on your community.
And also have them post mostly only in the gaming section. In overall it seems that your
site can be successful, keep working hard and you will be able to succeed.
