It needs a bit of work, such as new categories, but I think the ones I have at the moment are enough. Now to get people to join
Constructive criticism is welcomed.
*EDIT* I'm now using the Webbers Corner Template
i think you need to customise the theme a little more. bit more colour and move away from the default mybb theme. the templating system is quite simple, it took me a week to completely build and perfect this site.
i really like the logo (although i think you need to make the text clearer to read).
i wouldn't have too many forums to begin with, there is enough at the moment because if people see a lot of forums it will scare them. and even worse your posts are very spread so it makes your forum look empty.
Thanks for the suggestions, however, are you referring to the font or the font color? Wow, I thought it took you longer to make the template. It looks very good, the first time I saw your site I thought you were using VBulletin or a different script.
thanks for your comments on the site, not to be big headed but this site is the most customised i have ever seen a mybb forum.
i think maybe removing the grey border and adding a proper header to the site like this one would make a big difference to your forum.
if you need some help with the styling just post a topic here and i am sure me and a few other members could help.
You're probably right about the MyBB Theme, you've probably made the best theme so far. (Or at least the most customized theme, seriously lol)
I read a post from you on the MyBB forums about you releasing the old theme for this site, what's the status on that?
Hi,
I was thinking about it and still am.lol. I was thinking it would attract more people to this forum as i would make you visit the forum and register before downloading it.
the only thing was there didn't seem to be much enthusiasm or interest.
Well that's probably because they didn't see the skin in action. Nowadays MyBB is becoming very popular, I saw about 15 sites that are using it already. The only downside right now, is the lack of good skins, and some good mods. The only reason I'm still using SMF on some forums is that 1)no converter yet 2)lack of good skins (yes I should really make my own, but with SMF I just have to tweak like 3 things in the skin and bam, it's customized to my needs) 3)lack of mods, but they aren't too important.
If you released it, I'd definitely use it (probably on my Tech Forum, and just change a few things like the header). Plus it helps your PR since my site would have to link back to yours (because of the copyright on the bottom which links to your site).
i have decided i will publish it, the only thing is i might need to modify it because i edited the global.php file to get it like it is now.
The link doesen't work
