    The TechGeeks forum is a place where everyone can discuss anything about technology. There are sections for hardware and software discussions, webmaster talk, gaming, and more. If you like technology you'll like TechGeeks.

    I know that when I usually go to a promotional forum like this not many people are very interested in the site and that's why I want to ask everyone how you think the site could improve. What could be done better to get you to register? I love all feedback and all your criticism is welcome. :)

    Bumping :)

    This really is a great forum. It would be nice if more people checked it out. It's already fairly established and it's been online for over a year, we just need members to register and start posting questions or something to help us build up content.

    If you have any SEO or webmaster or tech related questions this would be a great place to post them. And it's also an awesome place to have a link in your signature. Even though TechGeeks is small our members love how much link juice gets to their links. It's a small site but it's powerful.

    I used a site called Xtranormal to make it :) So it's not my modeling and stuff.

    I just wish I had good video editing software so I could add a nice image overlay to the end precisely where I want it and how I want it.

    I am no authority on being a webmaster, but I see a lot of potential in this site! Might I also suggest a bit of info in your welcome message regarding what the site is all about.

    Forum structure changed :)

    I also started using a paid CDN through rackspace on the blog and the forum :) Rackspace is partnered with Limelight and Akamai's networks so this should be pretty fast. Right now only the forum images are hosted on the CDN (I'll do CSS and JavaScript later) (css, javascript, and images are all hosted on the CDN for the blog part of the site) but I wanted to ask what you thought of it?

    Does the site load quickly for everyone?

    Good move, but it feels the same. Normal.

    There are four small prizes, chosen in order from the first to fourth place winners.

    The winner is determined by the number of "points" they earn during the month. Posting a post is one point, making a thread is 3 points, and points can be added or deducted based on the reputation that your posts receive.

    Free shipping for the prizes :)

    This will go from June 1st to June 30th! (I think that's all)
