Hey guys, I need a little help. What do you think I can do to make this forum look more like home? I plan on getting vBulletin in the future, and I have a domain name already bought, just need to set it up. Any suggestions or ideas? http://kontaxforum.forumotion.net
Hey, First problem is that you're using a free host. If you plan on getting vBulletin in the future you may as well get it now, because Forumotion don't sell database backups. You start on Forumotion and your board will be forumotion for life. Secondly get that domain set up. Thirdly choose a better logo / banner - whatever you want to call it. A forum's banner / logo (especially on new forums) should scream out to the user, giving them a good idea what your site is about without having to look through it in more detail. On another note, your logo looks as if it was made with an online generator, if you're serious about your board it should be quality. Finally, there's nothing unique about your forum at all. The xBox 360, Wii, PS3, Pc gaming forums have been done to death. That's not to say if you make one it won't succeed, but you really need to push the boat out and make your site unique. Ask yourself why somebody would want to visit your site as opposed to another large gaming forum such as gameon or pwnem.
