Review my forum please :)

Hi folks,

Please review my forum @ http://eoler.tk and tell me whether I should add more categories or delete/move some forums, etc.

BTW no one has registered at my forum except me . Hope I'll get some members soon.

Thanks in advance

 

nice forum

 

I find it very difficult to read because of the black background. Also, the number of forums are fine, don't make too many more until your forum gets bigger and becomes more active.

 

Hey friends, thanks for letting me know. I also don't think of expanding it right now cuz I'm the alone member of http://eoler.tk in the planet

 

So kind. Thank you. BTW, what did ya like in my forum? The theme and style, category setup, my 86 articles, ads placement or perhaps my hardwork :LOL:

 

I will register if you do same for mine... No member yet... See my signature for more

 

Very flashy and cannot concentrate on the words to read. because of background effect

 

First thing for me was, I couldn't see what your forum was about...you need to make it instatly clear else peope will quickly move on.

Good luck.

 

I like it but you need more threads and post people dont like to join an empty forum i'm finding out. i've only been up a few days and have 24 memebers i'm wanting to put least 50 threads in each section before i start my contest. Otherwise i like the layout of it and nice sections.

 

I can't just write so many things. I have 14 categories i.e., 700 posts ! Can you suggest me something?

 

What kind of sentence would be perfect. Can u review the categories and write it down for me please.

 

Took a long time to load.
You should also try to get a TLD domain name since it's never really safe
to use free domains. It's also a lot more professional to use a TLD.

Also, I don't like transparrent forums and so on. After a while it becomes hard to focus
and the black background doesn't make it better.

 

Like most of newbies, I started from zero balance. Both my web host and domain are free for that purpose. It is so sad. That's why my site is filled with so much advertisements. . And for the theme, I'll soon put more of them and let users choose whatever theme they want. Is it a good idea?

 

Not really, the more themes you have, the more bug fixes you might be up for in the future.

 

I had difficulty loading it again; I agree with Wulkanen about the domain name too.

I would reccommend a short and snappy strap line; for example Keeping you up to date with X or Everything you need to know about X etc. You can probably think of a really good one as you know exactly who your target audience is.

 

I mean thread topics in your forum people like content.

 

Yup. And in phpbb3, I have to reinstall aevery add-ons(plug-ins) when I install a newer theme(I think) or else the addons doesn't work in the new theme. Phpbb3 is a hell to manage. I definitely should have gone for vbulletin if I had money. There is still an option to use nulled version but It would be a digital theft of course.

 

OMG. I can't load my site as well. My server is down. That's the problem with free web hosting company. Loads of ads and downtime

 

I just tried to check it out as well and it wouldn't load.

 

There is nothing to be done except to wait for sometime. They fix problems usually within a couple of hours. But this way I'm sure my website won't do good.
