Pros
- TLD. Moving to a TLD was a smart move
- Responsive. Good to see that the website is responsive
- Clean Design. Your forum has quite a clean and modern look and feel. It's nice to see a tech forum that doesn't insist on having a subpar dark theme.
Cons
- Logo visibility. Hard to read the logo when it's on top of that header background.
- Too many forums A forum as new as yours is better served having just a few forums that you're able to fill up.
- Intrusive Banner. The "Place Your Advert Here"-banner in the sidebar is too much of an eye-strain, and looks quite unprofessional.
- Thanks/Like Problem. Your thanks/likes-plugin seems to be dysfunctional, seeing as every user has "%%TYL_NUMTHANKEDLIKED%%" in their postbit.
- Social Buttons. The social buttons in the footers don't link to anywhere.
- General lack of activity. Many of the forums haven't had any posts in them in over a year. This too is an argument in favor of reducing your total amount of forums.
- SSL Certificate. Your site does not have a SSL Certificate, so it runs in http instead of https, which in turn gives you that nasty 🔓-with-a-red-line symbol in front of the URL in the address bar.
Conclusion
On the technical side your forum seems to be close to set. There are a few problems here and there that I'd recommend fixing, but my first impression is that a lot of things are in place. The largest problem with your forum is the lack of content, so my main suggestion is to
post post post. Good luck!
