For a MyBB site, it's actually pretty sleek.
Just at a first glance, I would say change up your logo a little bit. The blue just doesn't pop in the text of the banner. Maybe a lighter blue or put a gradient over the text to give it some depth.
Second, you're greatly lacking content. I would suggest and urge you to start posting many thought provoking topics throughout your board to start getting your members engaged with discussion throughout your community.

That's not a bad start. I think it's important to keep activity up throughout the week and see how well you do. Also, why is the majority of your 200 posts in the News and Announcements sections? You should really be focusing on the main sections.

[note]========== BEGIN - First Impressions ==========[/note]
When I first opened the page to your site I was really impressed. I love the theme that is being used on the forum. The logo looks great and I love the effect it has when you hover over it. I do think Kino had some great points in his reply, though, about making the logo a lighter color so it will stand out more. I also noticed that your forum is getting alot of activity. It's been open for a day, I am really surprised of how quickly it's growing. However you are getting this much activity don't stop because it's really helping.

Excellent
[note]========== BEGIN - Design Quality ==========[/note]
As I was saying above, I really like the theme of this forum! The colors are nice, the logo is nice, it all blends well and it is really easy on the eyes. If I am correct the theme is custom. I am still really impressed. I can tell you spent a lot of time on this theme to make it the best that it is and you did a wonderful job. I like the custom forum icons that you have as well. It's great that you have different icons for each forum. Most forums I am on never bother changing those to have different ones for each board. I also like the fact you ditched the default similes and added different ones. The last thing I wanted to talk to you about was one of the board locations. I personally think The Lounge should go at the bottom since the forum description says "Talk about almost anything here that's not covered in any other sections.", I think it would fit better at the bottom than at the top.

Good
[note]========== BEGIN - Spelling & Professionalism ==========[/note]
Looking through the rest of your forum, I do see some words that aren't capitalized, commas missing, etc. I mostly see them in the forum descriptions. One that I see is in the Introductions forum description. You forgot to capitalize the F in "feel" after "Are you new here?". In the entertainment forum description, you should capitalize YouTube. I also see one more in the Giveaways & Contests board. After "Do you feel like giving away something or holding a contest?", you didn't capitalize the first letter of the next sentence. Once you fix those and any others that I missed, you should be good to go!

Average
Final Remarks
Your forum is still very new, it's only been open for a day. I will be honest, it was a little bit difficult for me to conduct this review since your forum is so new but I hope I gave you at least a little bit of advice that you were looking for and you fix the errors that I noticed and take my other advice. Your forum is doing so well now, I know it's just going to keep getting better each day. I can really see this forum becoming really big in the future. I wish you lots of luck!

In my honest opinion, I feel like your site's design is way to similar to others. The logo resembles the same logo that Chattrbuzz uses and I watched someone design the logo for that site. In addition, the icons for the boards look like they've been borrowed from Peak Forums which I'm sure has had their theme longer than you have. Now if it's a pre-made theme, that's fine, but you should still change it up and make it your own. There's nothing I'm more tired of than seeing the same theme on many forums.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

I'm not quite familiar with ChattrBuzz but the logo isn't copied, its just a modern & flat logo. As for the forum icons they are Font Awesome Icons so its not that I copied PeakForums it's just the icons that fit best. As for the theme overall - I have designed it and it is not like most others, other themes have a more flat over-used type while mine is just a simple based theme.
First thing I noticed was that your forums haven't been posted in a while. That's a big problem especially for general discussion forums as people aren't going to join if they don't think your forum is active. Your logo is nice and clean, no problems with that. I would maybe add a sidebar as your forum just looks empty and a bit boring to look at with the forum taking up all the width.
