    Spore Forums - The best Spore forums on the Web!

    So, what do you guys think?

    I have created this forum just few days ago so it's still empty and I am the only member. Hopefully it will kick off potentially (Spore is going to be released in September so until then I will keep building links and try to advertise a bit...).

    Do you like the design? Logo?

    What about categories? Should I add some more or should I remove few?

    Any suggestions and feedback are welcome :)

    Good colors, they seem to work well together. PHPbb3 is one of the better free forum solutions on the market.

    But, what makes your forum special that might make people sign up? Do you have streaming video mods installed? This is so people can embed youtube videos in their post. I do not see an arcade mod installed either, picture gallery or anything else that might make your site stand out.

    Maybe consider installing some free mods that might attract people and make them want to stay.

    :)

    Thanks ~kev~ :) Rep added.

    Yes I am going to install some free mods during this weekend. I have many other ideas how to improve the forum. I am going to be improving it and doing SEO step by step until September 7 (that's official release date for Spore).

    add a few more forum room things...

    but other than that it does look ok...

    start joining other spore / gaming forums and just make relevant posts with a link to ur forum in the sig.

    wont take long... could get going ;)

    Yeah, I will be building backlinks and advertising at other forums and hopefully, after September 7, when Spore is released, it will kick off :)

    The design obviously looks good and forum navigation is pretty well arranged. I tried to look for more information regarding the meaning of spores and what the forum is all about. Maybe you can put that something like "Spores forum - A forum for...." so that new visitors like myself know what it is all about.

    Ok never mind...It's about games :)

    Hi there maybe you could make the category names stand ot a bit more, e.g:

    "Survival Of The Funniest", could try making Bold.

    Yep. Thanks for the tip.

    Meanwhile, I have enabled youtube videos on the forums. There are are still some more features I want to get going but hopefully during this week I can polish everything out and start advertising a bit and getting some members until September :)

    Your forum could use a tagline

    "The friendliest spore forum" or "where spore lovers hang out" or something. If it has one, i don't see it on the header or title or such.

    Ty. Rep added.

    Meanwhile, I have made few cosmetic changes. Will continue polishing it up for few next days until I like the way it looks and works ;)
