Hi friends we are a 6 months old mobile based community www.Crazy4m.Com/forum and We are a moderate growing forum. But the number of member seems to be way too low (just around 5k) please suggest us what should we do to get more members...
theme should be change forum should be simple as much as possible - too many forums categories make it simple it will work out 6 month is not enough forum to grow up 6 years could be a good time for a forum to be well populated.
For it being 6 months old its looking OK. Registered Members: 4835, - In 6 months is great. Maybe change the theme and offer more services. Remove the shoutbox it can stop people posting. Things people chat about in the shoutbox could be posts in the general chat area. Maybe you should change this it put it somewhere else? I say this because its the first thing users see and it's non related to your site.
Thanks to mathew and tentwenty a few more answers please.... is the theme acceptable or too bad ? should we concentrate more on discussions than warez ?
Well, there are too many community prespective, Its what you want from your forum. The warez forums I am not in favor of it. For me discussions matters "Discuss Hub" is small forum now but see how much it attracts discussions. For me discussion work. Regarding theme for me its urgent to change it. Also you should focus on link building
