Sounds like the forum was donated by a community member, I just wanted to say thanks. This game has long needed an easy way for players to get together and find information. Not everyone is on Reddit or has discord, but nearly everyone has a web browser.
Wargaming, please link to this forum from the blitz news page to help Google give it authenticity so people searching for WoWSB news or forums on google can find this place easier.

I'm the one responsible for creating it, but there's also a group of moderators from Community Discord working here as Moderators as well to take care of everything, so it's not just an individual thing (Musashi, St0rm, Flamingsword, Yousoro: thanks for joining the effort )
Hope this forum grows and becomes useful for everyone, and any suggestions to improve it will be more than welcome!

Well, since you asked (although opinions are a dime a dozen)..
1) Keep the number of subforums limited like you have until the community grows. Too many on a small community usually doesn't work well. Topics get lost.
2) Should Tutorials & Guidelines be in a different section? The rest of Feedback & Support seems to be geared toward contacting the forum admin here, or WG'ing itself. Whereas Tutorials & Guidelines are for the players. Maybe move it up to General above even screenshots, but definitely above off topic. That's assuming T&G are fan made and posted. If WG'ing made and posted, it is good where it is.

Yeah, the idea was to keep a structure similar to the Community Discord so it would be familiar for most people that comes from there, that's why the Tutorials & Guidelines board was there as well... Also, it's kind of a support thing for the ones having difficulty with the game, in the sense of gameplay, not precisely technical.
Regarding the other topic, yes, that's why right now is only this. I didn't want to make it too wide, because it could confuse and I prefer it to evolve more naturally
I too would like to add thanks for creating this forum. I do find it worrying that this was not something the developers themselves could be bothered to do.
I to want to mirror other users request that the developers actually use this forum and post here, if nothing else just to take the burden off the forum owner and also I hate using discord for such things.
WG has a reason at some point: if they create a forum, given the way they have their game servers, they can't integrate all servers users into a single login, so they need to create a forum for each server, like they do on their other games. This means that they need to hire people to moderate and administrate each of those forums, and that's too many people that they are -apparently- not willing to hire (yet).
So in the meantime, we created this forum and some of the moderators from Discord are also working here on the same role
Thanks CesarD for creating this forum for the Warships Blitz playerbase. I appreciate having an official channel to keep developers and players connected. I do have a question though...
In the days before and after the initial release of Warships Blitz on the NA server, WG had an official WoWSB forum site; laid out in the same way as the WoTB forum site. Many of us began using it, but it was soon dropped. Can you explain why? To me, it seems unfortunate that a well-developed and functioning forum site would be scrapped.

What we think is kind of what I explained in my previous reply: that forum was only a test one created in the NA server and if they wanted to fully develop them, they would have needed to make one forum per game server, and also hire more people for each of them (admins, mods, maintenance, etc)... From what Enya mentioned on Discord we infer that they were not willing to hire more people because hiring=>money...
Enya said the idea was not completely dead, but we needed *some* forum so here we are
