    Thanks

    Change the logo for sure, maybe another skin of some sort and start posting and fill up the forum.
    Then you'll get members and things will go better
    Hard work is the key lol

    I am not sure what the title Cibaikia means, this might be a catchy name but it is not descriptive of your site content.

    Your forum doesn't have a particular topic. I would try to narrow down to a single topic. Even for a general topic forum your categories seem very random.

    I would try to organise the categories better and try to add something to make the forum more unique which will make someone want to sign up.

    cheers

    The best thing you could do would be to post in it yourself everyday to make it seem active.

    Your logo looks more like an advertisement. Fix it by throwing it away :)

    First thing you need is post on the forum. It's very hard to get anyone to join up for a empty forum.

    I also started my new forum.

    I suggest you put more content.
    I am trying that in mine.

    Patience is the key :)

    I have put in another new logo which i created myself. Well basically that CIBAIKIA refers to very bad name in Malaysia. It can be meaning of fuckedupguy. sorry for the rude but thats what it means. take for example, "that guy is a cibaikia" mean that guy is really f@@Kup.!

    is a very famous word for scolding people so that why i want to try to convert it into another form. everyone knows that word. Well i can say this is a forum for F@@k up people. Dont be shock ok.

    Yea, i am having problem figuring out what to set for the categories, it seems very wide and general. Any idea would be nice.

    Maybe try working on a logo, and give some incentive to sign up to the forum, such as a contest or something. This will really bring new visitors in to your site.

    every website has the potential to be HUGE so ofcourse yours could be. You just have to market your website correctly. Position yourself as a leader, and get as much constructive criticism as you can. Also putting your site in your question might get a few hits :p haha nice tactic
