Not great, honestly.

I read a mis-aligned value prop

* For community builders

* That provides instant 2 click forum creation

For me, community building is something that takes time and effort, but your value prop suggests "quick and easy". I think, community building is something that takes a lot of time, is 2-clicks vs an hour of setup a big deal? Probably not.

I think an alternative angle is making is as easy as possible for people to setup a community for their product. "Get a community for your product in just 2-clicks".

Or, you need to focus on how your product makes community building easier: "A batteries-included community building platform".

You nailed it. This is exactly the struggle in my head. Currently it is "something for everyone" (product forum, community building, revenue channel etc.). I need to narrow it down before expanding. Love the "batteries-included" line.
