D is smart hipster tech not quite the Normie hipster tech go has become, so dlang will not spread good in the Normie masses.

#13I'd recommend you to use Argon2 instead of bcrypt for storing password. It has won the Password Hashing Competition last year and is the recommended way to store passwords. Bcrypt is not bad but it could be used with insecure parameters while Argon2 does not have insecure parameters.
The way you create cookies is also insecure, you should be using crypto/rand instead of math/rand AND rather hex.EncodeToString() the result instead of just generating random numbers in the alphanumeric range.

#15Likes on bringing such a retro concept back; but seems like you don't have any kind of spam control :D would be nice to have one.

#18The old style forums are showing their age and need to be modernized but not abandoned. See the Archlinux forums based on Fluxbb. It's fast and effective.
The newer ones led by Discourse, Nodebb and Flarum have completely gone in another direction in reinventing how discussion forums should be and perhaps gone too far. They feel strangely 'rootless' and completely lack the 'community feel' of user forums.
This looks promising for something fast, lightweight and easy to deploy.

See also https://golangnews.com - an HN inspired forum written in Go and hosted on a $5 instance, holds up pretty well.
