Hello friends i have just started a new forum on my home city Hyderabad Got some paid posters as a start up and added a template. The Main Homepage banner is made by a member of dp - "Pratik" and all the SEO of the forum with SEO friendly URL's is done by another member of dp - which was a very good professional work We also have a directory for this forum located at - Hyderabad Directory I wanted suggestions so that i can improve in this forum now.
And I like the design. In my opinion design isn't actually so important to worry about. Much more important is to build a community on your forum, to get more visitors to your site, to gain top positions in Google for some keywords so that you won't need to look for posters, you'll receive them automatically. Keep increasing the number of links to your site and sooner or later you'll get it. Submitted to your directory! Thanks.
