Hello, I am trying to start up a new site based around running athletes, and anyone else who runs to get in shape or even just for fun. Please check out the forum, and let me know what you think about ideas to improve it, what you like, don't like, what should be added, what should be removed, ect. My goal is to make it functional, yet simple for even the most basic web user, while being able to load quickly for those people on dial-up or slower internet connection (not too many images)... And if you want to also give feedback on how you think I could go about getting more traffic and posters on the site, that would be great too Thanks everyone! www.AthleticRunner.com
I like the theme, it's slick, but I'm not that fond of the green text on top, especially since it shows up on every page. The green looks out of place.
When I started out my forum, one of the hardest things was to get people to post. I found that one of my problems was that I had too many sections. If you want, try merging your sections into say 3 sections or so. Then once they start to get filled up, add new sections. It makes it look like there is more activity than there really is.
