Interested in Paid feedback on my forum - https://emerging.technology

[VSYNC_]

Anyone with any feedback on what you like about https://emerging.technology, and what you think I should improve drop it here and let me know.

For any exceptionally useful insights that are obviously well thought out and I can use to build a strong platform I'll be making thank you payments of between $5 - $20 in crypto (BTC or ETH).

Would really like to hear what people think about anything to do with the website or the idea, that includes the design, concept, ways to monetize, ways to grow, features you'd like to see and literally ANYTHING else that you think about it.

(For comments that are particularly useful I'll select and contact you asking for a wallet address to receive a thank you payment).

as far that i know peoples often get interested when they found something "New" and going fast to leave it when they feel bored.
the main ideas was gathering peoples to join into the community but what is the different between another forum ?
so how does forum stay exist and got many members?

this is not a question, just a sample or maybe a clues?
anyway, when i try to visit the site it is take too long and heavy loading site. idk maybe my internet connection not so good.
good luck for your forum.

I didn't spend too much time on it, but I've found 2 rather cosmetic things:
1. That blue-ink color all around is too dark compared to the "white" area and it can become tiring.
2. If I go into the forums area (eg: Blockchain) the first link is "chat". That could use a better name, since Chat sounds like a chat box/shout box, not a forum/threads area (it also confused me at first).

I'll make it straight,

There's no category or sections, members do not know where to post or how to classify his post
there will be flooding of new thread because there is no category at all
Google translation should be on top not on the bottom
No social media integration, other Xenforo theme has it and they looked good
Xenforo is a good forum theme, maybe you can add more features, in your admin panel
I have a forum in SMF and always check the "package features" to add more functionality to the forum, but this is Xenforo I don't know the equivalent of it.

Alright since your interested I decided to go through you forum and check it out for myself.

• First of all the first thing I noticed was the contrast of colors on the forum sorry but I am just not a fan of that color scheme.
• Looking at your forum seems like it's generally about new technology in the field such as AI and drones, but I also noticed how for each board you have their own marketplace. In the early stages of your forum I would definitely not recommend that. This is because since your forum is relatively new you won't have a lot of posts on it. If you had only 1 marketplace board all the marketplace threads could be posted there. It would look like a lot of the board are dead when in fact its just not active a lot. Until your forum grows to a point that it requires multiple I would only have 1 marketplace board.
• Next as soon as I open your forum I instantly see the "latest posts". I would also not recommend doing this, if you want you can maybe show some welcome posts or rules post such as the ones here https://emerging.technology/threads/general-forum-rules-and-posting-guidelines.325/ or some other topics about what is emerging technology and on the side under FAQ. Those are the kind of posts I would prefer to see when entering a new forum, not latest topics which might just contain useless drivel.
  

I will continue looking into the features of this forum and see if it's interesting. If you find this information interesting let me know.
