1. Move the website off the 'exodusmaple' sub-directory, and have it on the main one (www/htdocs).
Unless you want to have a portal in the future on the main one, but then again I personally prefer having a sub directory '/portal', that will direct to the main website. That way people coming from GTOP can see the portal, while people coming on the website to vote don't have to bother with it.
2. Buy a domain, zapto.org is not really appealing and look really unprofessional. I personally suggest [Only admins are allowed to see this link] I use them myself, and I'm pleased. There are a lot of bad reviews about them, but they are one of the biggest and by far cheapest domain registrars. (They have $0.99 com/net domains atm)
3. Move the forums to a real platform. I understand you might not want to risk with a nulled vBul & can't afford a licensed one but you could use MyBB which is a free alternative with a lot of really nice mods/themes to put it on par with vBul (and far better than forumotion)
Goodluck!
