"An Official Guest Viewer Review" I do have an account, this is just as viewed when seeing site as a guest. (y) Pros Design Nice theme implementation from the Pixel Exit team of @Russ and @Steve F . The theme flows well, and everything looks to be in place and follow the theme design as a whole. On the forum home, the slight edits made to the widget blocks look well. Just about everything these two have touched turned out golden, and the work done here is just solid proof. Excellent choice hiring these two @The Sandman . Kudos. Activity Nowhere remotely near its heyday in posting, but there are topics that see activity. The vast majority have nothing pertaining to administrating a forum, but there is posting going on. Unfortunately, sites do have cons as well, here we can go over these. (n) Cons Advertisements Overboard. 4 or 5 on every page viewing from mobile. The footer advertising area seems to serve no purpose, especiallyadding in the fact it's removed on mobile. The newly added app by @vbresultsdoesn't add anything, sans an icon on your phone as well as a giant "install this banner" at the top, and push notifications that appear after your Gmail alert does. Security (or lack of) Is been 22 days since the site went down. There has yet to be an "official" statement on what caused the breach, what info was tampered with, anything. After this last breach, my account information must have been exposed, add the brand new email I use for Netflix (which coincidentally is the sane email as used at TAZ) had suddenly had many login attempts from all over the world. I would think a site focused on administering a forum would at the very least accept the responsibility for the lack of security and provide information to its members as it becomes available. Seems to have been swept under the rug. This is an area of major concern for everyone, as it is the 4th time is happened in less than a year. Information At one point, TAZ was the go to place for all forum info. Now (this ties into the activity listed above), is simply a gathering spot to chat. :) Synopsis I think TAZ could really make a run and turn around the withering forum market if done correctly. They have a very large and vocal following, and if able to use the clout they once had, can become a viable resource for forum administration again. Elect staff that care, not just any and everyone (back to security). Fix a few of these issues and TAZ could once again become the elite forum admin forum on the net again. Appreciate your time, and thank you for allowing me to critique yoursite.
