Hi, Few days ago i created a forum,installed few mods and now have 4 active (posting) members....i would like to know what do you think about it...and maybe tell me how i can get some members? www.mpsource.uni.cc (im buying .info and .net domain for it soon)
Nice logo, but you are still using the default theme that a lot of other people are using. Why not use another template?
The forum looks good. I recently installed the same forum software and opted to go with phpBB instead. Very few of the themes that I found worked. There seemed to always be some kind of small bug that caused me to go look for another. Just get your name out there and provide info that people want to read and the members will be there...regardless of how orginal the layout...if, however, your layout is a one of a kind then you are definitely ahead of the game
I purchased www.mpsource.info and i will now start to promote it (add to search engines,directories) And maybe later i will sell it
smf ! seems ok, i generally would prefer mybb header is cool, but it shd be blue in combination with your board, or skin shd be black, keep everything in perfect combination
introduce your forum in other forums as well as my forum located here: http://www.ewebproz.com/forums/ this is a reasonable way to increase your members i think r u willing to link exchange (banner exchange as well) with my game website? my game site is here: www.hostfrei.com
The header is a bit darker than your forum template and check your website in 1024x768, your logo is bigger than the forum layout
ok design first: your using a big banner, way too big. Your site needs to display even on 800x600 monitors, i get around 18% using that. Plus the light effect.. least in my opinion it looks amateur to put that kind of light effect in something, just like when i see somebody presenting a business idea with word art from office. That is a cool skull though! Are you saying theres more forum areas? if not there needs to be. If i'm reading it right however it means i have to be logged in to see them all. This is surely a mistake as many people will come and look at the forum before they decide to join. Let them read and click on ads, they're more likely to click then people who are hardened veterans of the forum. SEO: i'm just guessing.. but the session ID i'm seeing in the addy might kill spiders. .. oh and heres three tips to success with a forum, look at dp and copy shit cuz shawn has got right. Another is if you have the money do a contest like this guy.. i have a feeling that really contributed to his growth. third and final tip, invest a few press releases done by a good writer through prweb and prleap.
I am paying to post....1 cent per post and 5 cent for referred person....i will fix the banner and try to optimize seo...i will also allow guests to view all the forums.
ok, make sure and do that last bit especially if your going to pay people. Invest a few press releases done by a good writer through prweb and prleap.
