A succesfull forum takes a while, first of all, make sure you're advertising on othere websites, that should make the ball go roll. And if you want to create the impression you have a lot of members, why don't you just create fake-members? It's not illegal.. It's stupid, but still not illegal. Another hint is that you should edit the index.cgi for helping Searchbots to find your website easier.. U can do this with using <META> tags. brbrAnd the most important thing is that you have to wait for a long, long, long time.. Join Affiliates Programs, do button exchange.. Just make sure you are patient and are visible all over the web. Carry your links in the signatures and avatars you use on other forums. Call friends! 'Dude, join my forum...' Ask your mom.. (Okay this is going a little bit out of hand). : -DbrbrAnother important thigs is.. CHANGE YOUR DOMAIN NAME! Make it simple and short. http://www.yourwebsite.com/ is more than enough.. Not something like http://www.companyeg.moonfruitism.pi...page.shtml..br

Nice concept for a forum. I suggest that your forum must have contests and other freebies that will attract members. And for the site I like the new look. The simpler the better.
Good luck('',)

Please join, and tell me what you think of the look.

mondine · 04-12-2006, 07:02 PM

Kind of sparsely-populated.
Couldn't you just transfer your member list to the new forum?

cysite · 04-12-2006, 07:32 PM

nope, i need them to re-register. im using a different host now, how would i transfer a member list?

mondine · 04-12-2006, 08:06 PM

I dunno. You'd have to ask one of the techno-geeks about that.
Probably just as well though.

I've seen people that do that. They have a new forum with 3 active posters and a member list of over 100 (and credited themselves with making hundreds of posts).
That just looks dumb.

I do like the look of your current forum. It seems to be more responsive, and quicker, as well.
You might want to fool around a bit more with the logo. It doesn't really display very well, and the words get lost in the design.
Other than that, maybe just a bit of customizing- buttons, icons, etc.
I think the basic theme and colours are good, though.

Oh, and stick with this one for a while, before you run off and make yet another one.

What was wrong with the old one? I think you can transfer memberlist over to new forums, but I'm not sure about transferring to a different forum software. There are converters, but they don't work on the free forum hosts.
