    Does anyone know who the owner of this forum is? I need his personal opinion...lol

    So... as most of you may know, I own this forum: http://www.hiphopside.com/forum.php

    The question is, how do you convert visitors in members, the site gets over 1000 uniques a day but hardly anyone signs up, do you guys know any method I can use to get more people to sign up?

    Like how this site has a black box pops up and inspire you to sign up? lol

    Yeah, the easiest option would be to implement a light box pop up.

    You could also make it where they can't see links unless they site up, I believe they also have plugins you can use they will say "You are not a member! Sign up so you can see everything" Or something like that.

    It is also called an overlay. It is a box that pops in the center of the screen and darkens the background. Just google Lightbox or overlay plugin.

    The owner has the username of digitalpoint with the real name of Shawn. However, this will never happen (I think):). This person does have 30k posts on the forum though!

    Great to know now. I acutally did not know this at the point, but now I know.

    [/QUOTE]The question is, how do you convert visitors in members, the site gets over 1000 uniques a day but hardly anyone signs up, do you guys know any method I can use to get more people to sign up?

    Great Idea. I agree with you for what to do:). That's what I suggested in my suggestions.

    Interesting post. However, it would of been a smarter idea to provide other advice rather than just the forum information. That way you could really help the thread creator.

    Yeah, I think a lightbox would be the best. Or maybe make it easier to sign up? A Facebook login button?
