http://webmaster-forum.co.nr/ I recently started a new forum, where i spend a lot of time. Now i need some feedback to get some users. I would also be happy about some sign ups. I know it is the normal vbulletin style (default), which say some people would be boring. I know i stole some ideas from other forums, but it is just a test. The whole forum is still not the end but we will end it after we got some members and more posts. So i will change the theme, after i got some users, to know that the forum is ok now. You should read my first post. We still are making some changes but i first needed to have a start: You ideas and opinion will help us a lot. Thanks for your feedback and maybe sign ups too! Webmaster Forum (signature)
Thanks for your comment! Looking for more, pls also for sign ups! Will give you all special ranks... Thanks!
Thanks again for your feedback... Looking still for more: Even bad comments will help me. Please give me more feedback! Thanks!
I really like your forum - Nice logo and header - I don't know about other people, but I like when forums have the same layout - nuch easier to find your way around and you automatically feel comfortable posting - now you just have to get more members -
Thanks! You are totally right. If you would join, i would give you a special rank. Thanks again for those comments so far, looking for more!
Many and special thanks for signing up! Thanks also to the others for your comments: -> Looking for more members and coments. thx...
From forum owner to forum owner, here comes the only useful constructive criticism: 1) the logo is nice, the text in your header is not. keep the logo and get yourself a designer to make a better logo font 2) come on, an "out of the box" vBulletin Style for a Webmaster community? Be serious! At least change the colors and change the "new posts" and "no new post" images to your logo 3) did you install any modifications besides the "sponsore" boxes (the one at the top needs a <br /> before it by the way)? Your whole forum looks like out of the box vBulletin 4) get rid of all the sub forums in your marketplace. if you want to start a webmaster community, you should know that less is more, especially at the start of a new community forum 5) if possible, get rid of the Ads (sponsors) unless it is absolutely necessary, it looks awfully and will keep away new users, especially with an empty forum like yours 6) A Layer Ad? In a webmaster community? A newly started one? Are you kidding me? Remove that thing at once, that one is hurting you the most! 7) consider using my hack and remove the statistics on forumhome 8) If you want to run an English only community, why bother and give the user the option to chose between English and German as forum language? If a German user can't speak English, he won't be a member of your community, it's that simple. 9) Get yourself a real domain. No one will join a webmaster community that does not want to afford a TLD for 10$ per Year 10) Your whole introduction thread reads like you are talking to users which are absolutely new to forums. Remember what your audience is. You are talking to webmasters which should know what a signature is, how to edit profiles, and so on. I hope this helps. I just started a new forum myself (4 days ago) so I know what you are going through. It's a German community about weight loss, but take a look, you'll see the difference www.abnehmfragen.net (my header is crapy too, I know ) Best regards StarBuG
I like your logo I think it's very unique but the template looks generic, you should try to get a more unique template. You should consider removing the pop up ad, I thought that was very annoying.
