I went to your forum and registered as a user with the alias Shackman. Its rather quiet and bare. You should considered getting more traffic and better content loaded into your forum.

You can take a look at mine as an example:

Do register at mine!!! Anyway, I registered at ures.....

Yours is pretty small as well, Shackman. Under 30 registered users and under 400 posts isn't exactly large.

Forums that have few members/posts but a lot of categories tend to look a lot more empty than they would if they lost a little weight. Having a few forums with a lot of posts looks better than a lot of forums with a few posts.

Anyway, best of luck to both of you.

Well they're still starting after all, it'll take a while before they'll get the member base that they want...and then start wishing it should never gotten so large wink.gif

But I agree, dish out different forums according to the demand and need of your users.

I was referring to the content and layout of the forum. Anyway, 30 reg users:367 articles that means 1 user posts on average 12 articles.

Do you guys have any ideas how we both can attract people to our forums? And when you said' Well they're still starting after all, it'll take a while before they'll get the member base that they want...and then start wishing it should never gotten so large

What did you mean? Is it because of bandwidth issues? What type of plug-ins(mods/hacks) are available for phpbb2 forums? So far I have only seen very limited ones like a shoutbox and 'karma' points.

Any pointers for the both of us?

What I meant was when your board becomes bigger and bigger you'll encounter different kinds of people, some hardcore sociopaths who love nothing more than to cause as much trouble within your community, some ugly fights break out---you know, that administrative crap you have to put up with and give you headaches. South-east Asians, like you and me, have a different perpective on such attitude.

On the issue of inviting people for forums, one of the best way is to roam around online groups that share the main interest of your message board. Example, gaming, then search around Yahoo!Groups or GoogleGroups or chat groups and invite (not advertise) people, and if they like it, they'll spread the word themselves...instant advertisement! happy.gif At least, in our case, it worked successfully.

Thanks alot for the pointers. By the way, how did you know I was from south-east asia?

I do agree that some ugly fights do break out and people sometime get upset. However, as an administrator of the forum...I still feel honoured that they used my broad to quarrel! wink.gif

Joking joking.

But anyway, what do you think keeps people coming back to a forum? Do you guys have any personal experiences you may like to share?

From a persoanl perspective, I don't think its really much on the quality of articles. Probably its like me coming back to Trap17 because I know that its constantly ever changing and new stuff can be found often.

However, there are lots of forums like Trap17 too, which are very active, but why do I not feel a pull to them? There are also forums that have very interesting articles but after visiting once, I usually don't return.

Anyone cares to share?

    Yeah, like the topic says: I think that guys here at trap17 have created (over time) one of the best
    forums I've visited so far. I'm not a poster-maniac but I've seen a lot of them. This
    one (IPB) included, but never so funcional and well organized. I know I have critiqued trap17 some
    time ago, but that was for hosting service. When it comes to forums, I think you guys are the best

    Hi guys! I remember posting this before but somehow I think the other mods or admin deleted it
    off. Oh well, never mind. For those who did not read the post that were 'supposely'
    deleted, my forum is a good place for general discussions, anime community and so on. By the way, we
    even have a Gunbound guild nesting in our forums. My forum is open to those who want to apply for
    using part of my forum for their clans. My forum is at: http://limzb.uni.cc/news Anyway, the
    main intention of this thread is to ask the community about their opinion on the forum....
  13. Forum Review! - (16)
    I know I've done this before, but this time I have most of my forum completed and I want to know
    what you all think... Comments, suggestions, changes? Be cruel if need-be. The forums will be the
    center of my website, which is why I decided to start construction there instead of building a large
    website with a small forum. I would really appreciate any feedback you all could offer...
    Thanks, J. (TS) ElfBoys Discussion Boards (09.23.04): My forums are now open for public
    registrations if anyone is interested in knowing......

    Hey all, Just thought I would post this message here to see if any of you will review my forum for
    me. I would really like some input on the style and everything. I just got the PM this morning
    about hosting and so there isn't really anything on my forums yet. But I just want reviews for
    the style and look of the forums I'm building right now. I want to know if they are
    user-friendly and if should or should not find a better style. Thanks in advance, J. (TS)

    only 26 registered users! My aim here is to ask you guys to review my forum and tell me what
    you tihnk, and how it can be improved. Also, if you do have any tips to promote my forum, do post
    them here or pm me. Constructive critism is welcomed. Lastly, do support my forum by eit...
