I want to know if my forum is appealing enough. Not by content, because it is just opened. But by design... www.graphicgreed.com I need some pointers on how to get viewers to register. Highly appreciated.
The site looks good, although I'm not a big fan of dark designs. I think a white background is much easier on the eyes, and will probably get you more signups. You'll probably need to seed the forum with posts to begin with. Try posting in the buy,sell, trade > services section of this forum for forum posters. You may also want to consider running some contests to encourage signups.
I agree with above, dark designs gets you down. Also the forum is to wide, i can scroll sideways. I also think that in the logo, the arm of the figure should be behind the logo text.
Your forum is looking good but I think for getting users just hold contest or get paid to post type of things
Thanks for the reviews guys, how does it look now I added a new skin, you can change it at the bottom of the page.
I do not think tha the color combination is good enough. The forums should have light colors because a user spends a long time on these.
I know the ads arent relevant. Its because we are a new site and advertisers aren't picking us up quite yet. I'm on adbrite now, but as we get more popular we will move to ads by users. I'd appreciate a new review, I think about a month as passed now and the forum has gotten much better. Let me know
