I would change the name of your forum from Gametek to something else. Gametek has made a bunch of game show video games for NES, apple iie, etc.

Except the name. I can not change the name. Maybe find a variation of the name that doesn't possibly conflict with the video game publisher because that could cause some issues with copyrights and such. I know a gamer that I follow on YouTube used a variation of Night Owl as his nickname on GTA because he had the owl mask. DC threatened legal action if he didn't stop using the name. Don't want that to happen to your site.
As far as the site goes, all I have right now, I would recommend looking into proof reading board descriptions for spelling and grammatical errors as I have spotted quite a few just by skimming over the site. I think also the banner could be resized to match the forum width. Right now it just kind of seems awkward to me.

Well,I'll change Forum name,but i can't change forum url,actually I need to pay for it to change.
I'll fix grammatical errors,english is not my main language.
Thank you. @dlsheer2010 EDIT:I did some research about GameTek company,that company doesn't even exist anymore,it was shutdown in 1998.I think I'm clear of copyright.

Oh, well, that is excellent luck there then! Still use caution. Sometimes there could be lingering connections or whatever. Good luck to you!

Hi there (: I rate on a ten point scale.
first impressions - is this a premade theme - the font on the banner is hard to read and kind of plain - some odd organisation - theme itself is pretty crisp
a second look: aesthetics honestly i'm kind of so-so on the appearance of this theme. it's a well executed minimalistic look, but it seems a little too minimalistic — a little too one-note. one suggestion i have would be to use a subtly textured background image to help differentiate from the background and the boards. if you google 'subtlepatterns', a nice site should come up that has a bunch of free-for-use background textures with a wide range of styles.
i like that the board icons have been customised. a lot of sites seem to ignore this aspect of designing their theme; they may change the new/old post icons, but you've also changed the locked / thread / etc images and i am appreciative of that.
my other criticism would be that the text on the banner seems kind of... incongruous with the rest of the forum's feel. the colour on the text presents a bit of a contrast issue, to start. a lighter colour, or perhaps a dropshadow on the text would help separate it from the background of the banner for more legibility. the font itself could also be changed to make it stand out more from the 'regular' text on the site. i think it would give the forum a nice little bit of variety.
a second look: content my biggest issue with the content at the moment is organisation, particularly in the games/gaming category. it seems redundant to have a board for "other games", "pc games" and "console games". surely they could be combined? if you wanted to still have a separation between pc vs console, why not make them subboards of "other games"?
in the tech category, it seems a little bare. is there a need to separate specific aspects of hardware at this point? i can understand separating components from peripherals, but in my opinion graphics cards could be included in the hardware board (maybe as a subboard if you want that separation). i also don't understand why cooling would need an entire board. i'd also suggest having a general tech talk board -- some place where people can ask questions, or discuss their own machines, and so on.
also the second category -- community -- seems to be out of place in the middle of all the boards relevant to your site's subject. perhaps it would be better suited at the bottom? but this is personal preference only.
overall rate: 8/10 i don't think the site quite jives with my personal tastes, but i don't think there's anything glaringly wrong or displeasing about it. (: some info about the forum would possibly be a perk, such as an 'about' page for staff members, or the goals of the forum / an introduction to the forum, something like that.
good luck! hope this helps (:

I'm glad that I was able to help out! I really like the new background, I think you made a good choice and it fits really well.
Good luck. (:
